[Chester LUG] Sharing a drive

[Paul Williams]

Sounds like a job for....  da dum dah!!!  Network Man!

Seriously though, sounds both easy and tricky at the same time.  Firstly, I understood every word you said!  But I have no Idea how to do it!

Anyone?

Sounds like a job for a NAS setup - Network Attached Storage. You'd have to configure a NAS deamon on the machine the USB drive is plugged into and then have that NAS mount/offer the USB drive as a networkable mount point - or something to this effect. I've never done it my self but I have read it is possible.

Hi again.  I have hooked up a PC to my broadband connection via a wired connection.  It is attached to the same router as my PC downstairs.  Both systems use Ubuntu 8.04.  The one downstairs has an external hd connected via USB.  Can I share it so it can be easily be accessed upstairs?  If so, how?
