Ethernet communication between 2 SAM's

[JosDuchIt]

Is it possible to transfer files between my 2 SAMs using an ehernet cable?

How?

You need a cross-over cable or a hub/switch. But yes, you can configure TCP/IP on both machines to connect to each other. Then use whichever transfer software you have in mind. For example install an FTP server on one machine an an FTP client on the other one. Or install Samba on one machine and SMBFS on the other.

You can even use a very basic transfer using the TCP: handler. On the receiving machine open a Shell window and enter

copy tcp:9999 ram:myfile

and on the sending machine use

copy sys:myfile tcp:1.1.1.1/9999

where 1.1.1.1 is the IP address of the receiving machine and 9999 a free port.

Can you find and wire a "Crossover Ethernet" cable...

this wil wire the two sams together... then the next step is to generate NetInterface definitions with static IPs.

Amiga1 Address = 192.168.1.4
Amiga2 Address = 192.168.1.5
Common Netmask = 255.255.255.0

No gateway setting required.

You should be able to ping from one sam to the other using the IP address you set

You can then set an FTP / Samba or Web Server running on one machine and access it using the matching client on the other machine.

I am planning on pairing a sam460 with my existing sam440 once I can buy the board and set it up myself.

Samba does not work between two Sams. Only FTP will work at the moment .

I'm using AmigaNetFS between all the Amigas in my LAN.

You can find it on Aminet: http://aminet.net/package/comm/net/NetFS

It's a bit old, but works just fine here.

So the issue linked to below is working for you now ?

No, it's still the same. But it doesn't bother me much, as I can still mount the 460's drives from another machine and transfer in both directions through that.

And anyway, the OP mentioned using a 440 (flex), and I don't have any problems on my 440ep, so I decided it was not worth mentioning here.

Best regards,

Where do i enter these commands ?

I bought a second netgear WNC2001 Wifi adapter and am able now to ping from 1 SAM to the other
I downloaded NFS and am trying to install them on both machines. As the doc is pointing to AmiTCp in a lot of places,
- can you confirm it works OK with Roadshow ?
- if yes can you give some hints on how to interpret these install instructions ?

· Make sure that you have AmiTCP configured properly and it can communicate
between the machines you want to use with NetFS (you can use
the ping-command for checking this)

· Copy netfs-handler to AmiTCP:L-directory (???) on client machine
(In earlier versions of NetFS the system L:-directory was used.
Also, an alternate directory can be specified in the mountlist (??? which one)
or using the HANDLER-keyword in the netmount-command)

· Copy netfs-server to AmiTCP:serv-directory (???) on server machine

· Copy netmount to some directory that is in your path (AmiTCP:bin
is a good place)

· Add the following line to the AmiTCP:db/services (???) on all machines
that will use NetFS (both client and server):

amiganetfs 2500/tcp

You may select another port number if the default 2500 conflicts with
something (port 2500 is not officially registered for NetFS)

If you already have AmiTCP running and don't want to reboot the machine,
you should send the RESET-command to the AmiTCP AREXX-port to get it
to re-read the configuration file. ( I see a TCP/IP port is this the one to use,

(You can also use the AmiTCP AREXX port to add the service entry without
editing the netdb file. See AmiTCP documentation for details)

· Add the following line to the AmiTCP:db/inetd.conf

amiganetfs stream tcp nowait root amitcp:serv/netfs-server

If you have put netfs-server in some other directory than amitcp:bin,
you should use that directory name here instead.

I don't find much info on Roadshow not in the http://wiki.amigaos.net/ wiki either
Thanks in advance

@JosDuchIt
Quick how to ...

Installation:
-------------
Copy netmount & netfs-server to c:
Copy netfs-handler to l:

NetFS et RoadShow configuration :
--------------------------------
Open Sys:prefs/Internet

Go to 'Services' & click on 'New' :
Name : amiganetfs
Port : 2500
Type : tcp
Then click on 'Use'.

Go to 'Servers' & click 'New'
In 'Services', select amiganetfs,
Program : Sys:c/netfs-server
Click Use

Then 'Hosts', you must add your other sam.
So click new
IP | Name | Alias
ie :192.168.1.101 | mysam | sam440ep

"Save'

Mounting @ unmounting
----------------------------
In a shell type something like :
c:netmount mysam Sys: rh1: handler=l:netfs-handler

mysam is the name you've added in 'hosts'
Sys: the distant partition to mount
rh1: local device id of the distant partion (the distant partition will be mounted with its original name such as Workbench:)

to dismount :
assign rh1: dismount
assign "Workbench:" dismount
