Do I need an NFS server or can I peer to peer? Jan 20th 2013, 17:26 I am confused about NFS and need some direction. My goals are simple as I just want to share folders on a local network between 3 pc running openSUSE 12.2 and have them show up in the left hand panel of Dolphin or the network folder. I was wondering if there is a way to have NFS without the need to configure a specific machine as a server? As this article describes here, gnulinuxclub.org - Establishing LAN among Linux machines near the bottom he describes this as peer to peer NFS. Is this really possible or what. All other articles I read (openSUSE docs) involve a machine as a server and then clients that log in an share as directed via the NFS server. Well what if the server computer PC1 is not powered on and I want to share files between PC2 and PC3. I understand I can do this via ssh and maybe that is the way to go here. For example, I would like the ~/downloads folders of all powerd on PC in my local network to be available in the left panel of Dolphin.
