In that case you could look at either mounting a folder one the 'server' from the 'client' by either using SSHFS (basically allows you to mount a folder on the remote machine over SSH which just requires openssh-server to be installed on the 'server' machine) or you could also look at NFS.
I've used NFS before but don't have much experience (I got it working a couple of years ago but haven't really looked at it lately). Possibly someone else might be able to guide you in the right direction. Ta, Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
