File Sharing [Solved]

[shoelesshunter78]

I just installed Sabayon 5.2 KDE on an intel Macbook. I was using Kubuntu on the same machine with no problems networking. However, my Sabayon machine now appears in the shared column of my iMac, but I can not transfer files over ftp. The Sabayon machine's files are not accessible from the iMac, and the iMac is not recognized by Sabayon.

Is there something simple I am overlooking? I am new to Linux, but learning quickly. I just need a point to the right direction to fix this. I need to sync the files on the Macbook (running Sabayon) with other machines else it is useless to me.

What method are you using the share the files? Samba? NFS? SSHFS?

When I was using OSX on the machines, I merely enabled FTP sharing and all machines played nicely.

I have FTP enabled on the main (OSX) machine, but the Macbook running Saybayon doesn't seem to see it in network palces. Likewise, I enabled screen sharing in the SabayonBook with a program (I don't have the name in front of me). Sabayon's machine showed up on the iMac's sharing pane in OSX, but any form of login in to see files failed. "netboot" and "homes" were the volumes mounted in OSX's desktop when connecting to Sabayon; "netboot" yielded nothing when opened, and "homes" was said not to exist. No true screen sharing nor remote management ever was established. Though at this point, simple FTP would suffice.

I am sorry, I should have more details in front of me before responding. I don't know how much any of this helps. Mainly I just want to exchange simple documents across Sabayon and OSX (10.6). Only two machines and both on the same LAN.

Enabling zerconf / avahi at runtime made all network services discoverable. Love my Sabayon!
