How to mount a remote filesystem in LINUX.

Hello,

I am trying to mount my webhost. Does any one know how? The server is
RedHat.

I would like to mount the 'www' directory so that I can perform a
differential backup using DAR on the directory.

Can anyone help?


Thanks,

You can put the entire www on sharing(SMB) with write permissions. Or,
try mounting it through NFS and NIS.

The easiest way should be using 'rsync' or 'unison' through ssh,
so you have a backup and can easily sync files/dirs between both.

There are some HOWTO available, try a google search.

Good luck

First of all, make sure that that server in question is sharing the
directories. With NFS, check /etc/exports; with SMB, check /etc/\
samba/smb.conf. - Don't forget to restart the respective servers after
modifying any of those two.

Or, as Michael suggested, use RPC utilities for this.


Cheers, Jack.
