So after a fail as detailed above with data entered on the laptop 192.168.2.2, I went to the server 192.168.2.3 and did this:



...and get the same error. What's wrong with this picture?

Bum! (sorry, image not present in post. Need lessons in that too)

192.168.2.3, 22, mdm, Shared_Stuff, mdm@192.168.2.2::Shares_From_Server

Same error, as I said. Help?

BJF,

Is your "Shared_Stuff" folder in your /home folder? If so, you should enter /home/yourusernamehere/Shared_Stuff as the directory you want to connect to. Then, the password is the normal user login password for that machine.

HTH!

Paul, I have a perfect replica of Rudge's command line now, except that as per your post the user and path are correct for my machine. Now there is a couple of second's pause before the host error message. But still the error. Is it possible that the two users being the same is disturbing the cosmos. Can you or anyone point me at a set of Terminal (shudder) commands to replicate the action of the GUI and hopefully produce some error trails we can follow?

Thanks.

At least as far as the user names and even share names go  All mine are the same - only the PC names are not the same and I often use the same share name inside each user no matter.  As I am just local I often use the same user pass in each user as well.  Don't have the brain cells left to track to many things - PC names are enough for me.  :D

Pupthai: Could you walk me through the commands to establish a share from a terminal, so that I could discover whether it is possible, or why it isn't. Please?

I am normally use samba because of windows - but if Use PCC as root > (not a commandline cowboy) then share disk and directories > then set up shares on the right and then use the access them setup on the left but now it can't find any servers out there.

Having not used nfs in a while I just run thought it real fast again.

The shares on all show up as NFS shares - the NFSd is up and the firewall is good but now when I access an NFS from any PC it just sets there looking dumb at me.  Activity shows NFS is running on all and still and the share is shared as both samba and NFS - samba still works fine but the nfs is not mounting.  ???  red face  -  In fact it seems NFS it can't see the other PC's at all.  I have done maybe three or four updates after the last time I saw a NFS share so maybe something changed - but I don't see it yet.   I don't get any error and the log is empty just after awhile it closes the access share GUI.   Hmmm :-\

Homework time I hate fail :D

mount -t nfs  server_IP_addr:/share_name /local_mount_point

using this format in root term I get a permission error so it does see the server and maybe the shares but does not report the permission error in GUI mode    I ll dig more

BJF,

Delete your entry in gsshfs and recreate it from scratch. I've sometimes found entries that just can't be "straightened up" ... no matter what. Despite everything "looking" ok, something is amiss, and the only way I've gotten it working again was to delete the offending entry and redo it from scratch.

I believe a "WOOHOO" is in order.
I spend my working day in an engine room in earmuffs, which gives me thinking time. I was looking forward to getting off and home to try out AndrzejL's Night Commander suggestion. But the whole day, I kept coming back to his note on his homepage: be sure SSH is started.  I checked. It wasn't, on either machine. Setting it on boot was all it took to make GSSHFS light up, and around a peculiar request for administrative privilege and opening into root's folder without allowing me to do anything as mdm, it just works. I close out of root and reopen PCManFM as me, and my mount is there and accessible.
I also started network-auth after reading briefly in Goooogle of its part in sharing passwords. Feel free to tell me not to be silly if I shouldn't have.
I'll let the dust settle, watch Andy's set-up video for NC, and then mark this <SOLVED> for my purposes anyway.
Thank you for all your help in this.

John.  ;D  ;D  ;D

I am getting a smaller but ok WooHoo  I still can't mount a share via the GUI in PCC but after I make the shares insecure they mount from the root commandline again.  I use mostly the samba shares anyway and oh ya sshd is up so I don't know what the permission error is about.  At any rate if need be, I can mount a share and that is what counts.  :P

Perhaps the Grown-up's will look into the shares issues by and by, and include a fix in PCLinuxOS.next, to destress the Networking section of the Forum. Glad to hear that you can do what you want via a work-around, Pupthai. Me, I'm off to have dinner, mark this <SOLVED>, and experiment with Midnight Commander. Seey'all.
