I recently setup two workstations on my lan with SUSE 11.0 I wanted to drag the SUSE ISO file through the network and back it up to an extra internal hard drive, which is partitioned unix.
I do not have any windows systems on my network (not any more).
I was able to download the ISO DVD disk image from the internet site, which is 4.3 gigs in size, but I am unable to transfer the same size from one workstation to the other. Is this a known bug ar dose anyone know of a fix for this file size limitation? I went through the add-on packages to see if there was one listed to correct this problem, but I did not see any that fit the bill.
If you have SSH open on either machine you can use scp/sftp to transfer
files from one to another without limitation. If you know the command
commands line that option is always available but otherwise
konqueror/Firefox can also give you a drag/drop option.
Good luck.

SLP isn’t for transferring files, but NFS is a protocol that is fairly
universally available. Still for going between *nix machines I’d still
opt for SSH as it’s already there, enabled, easy, and secure. Be sure
SSH is open (TCP 22) and then connect using Nautilus or Konqueror as
follows:
Once don you can just drag/drop and browse like you would for anything
graphical like that.
Good luck.

I will look into the SSH and make sure the port is open. I have two network adapters in one of the machine and have not set it up yet. I will open up the port and give it a go.
Anything other than making sure both machines are in the same workgroup, need to be setup or changed for SSH?
Nothing like that even, needs to be done. For SSH to work you need an
SSH server (on one side), and SSH client (on the other) and working
TCP/IP between the two. Okay, you also need a username/password OR
public/private keypair, depending on how fancy you have managed to make
your setup. That’s it… it’s easier than FTP (only uses one port) and
infinitely more secure.
Good luck.

or do I need it. I would like to be able log on and stay logged on without having to retype the password all the time. Is there a better way to accomplish this?
Hi
With the Gnome DE, using nautilus and sftp it creates a desktop link
until you unmount the remote share. Not sure in Konquerer if you can
create a bookmark?
Else you could look at generating ssh keys to use between the two
machines for passwordless ssh login.

Once logged on to the desktop then to the machine you stay logged on until someone logs off of their workstation. It’s working fine and I have had no issues. Transfer rate is faster than I thought it would be. Took right 4 min. to drag 4.3 gigs through the 10/100 based network.
