How to connect from one linux M/C to another linux M/C useing /net command
Hi All,
I wanted to connect to linux server in my office from my linux machine.
ftp and telnet is not allow to user, they r given me the command
/net/servername/foldername
to connect to that server. But when I execute, it gives an error
" bash: /net/servername/foldername : no such file or directory."
what could be the problem and how to solve it.
Thanks in advance

Hmm - do they imply a shared samba folder?
Try:
smbclient -L servername
servername can be an ip address. This will give you a list of shares available that you can connect to and share. You will then need to connect to it, but this is usually not available to anyone other than root.
Try:
ssh servername and see if you get a login prompt. If you do, then you can use the command scp in order to transfer data between the systems.
Use:
man ssh
man scp
man smbclient
to find out more.

> /net/servername/foldername
This is meaningless.
So ftp and telnet are not permitted?
What about ssh?
ssh is very secure and you can transfer files across it using the scp command.
