    Sharing Folder between 8.04 and 9.04

    Hello everyone

    So I'm trying to get my old Laptop running 8.04 to share files with my Desktop (9.04). Both machines are connected to a small Linksys router, with the Laptop on WiFi and the Desktop on Ethernet.

    It started easy on the Laptop: Right click in Dolphin on a folder, go to Properties, Sharing and allow NFS after entering password. Tried the same thing on the Desktop: after entering password nothing happens. Searched the web for that and apparently there is no solution at the moment. I can probably live with that, since one share is enough to exchange files (I hope).
    However, now I want to mount this shared folder into the Desktop. I couldn't find anything comprehensive on the web on how to do that, so maybe you could me? Also, any suggestions to convince 9.04 to share its folders would be very appreciated, as well.

    see if NFS is insaled on 9.04 I dont think it is by default.

      Yes it is...

      I just managed to 'share' a folder from the Desktop machine by
      Code:
      sudo kcmshell4 fileshare
      -this opened a dialog like on the Laptop. Problem still stands, though- I can't figure out how to make the machines see each other...

        OK, got it working

        Just had to find out the ip address of the Laptop and use
        Code:
        kdesudo mount ip:/home/login/SharedLT /home/login/Laptop
