Remote access to Linux folder through mac finder

Question

I am trying to see if there is a way to mount my linux folder through my mac. I use mac OS X, and on my Linux I use a red hat 5.5.

My main goal is to access my files that I have on my Linux box locally on my mac.

Answer 1

The easiest way . That is, if you already have the SSH server setup in the Linux package (super simple setup), you need to use an SCP client, such as CyberDuck . When connecting, be sure to select SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol), and then use your credentials to log into Linux.

Preferred method : Install the Samba share in the Linux box and connect to this resource with a Mac using the Go option → “Connect to Server” in the OSX file menu. In the "Website" field, enter smb: // [Linux box IP] / [Share name] /.

Now, none of these methods will work on another network (remotely) until you open a Linux window to the outside world, using something in accordance with the dynamic DNS setting and setting up your router to transfer ports to your box.

Answer 2

If your Linux is a remote PC, the best way to do this is to configure samba on it.

If this is just the second OS on your Mac, you can simply install it through the console, for example:

mount -t ext3 /dev/disk0sX /mnt
