How to shar files between Puppy and Se7en?

[Adolf1994]

Hi!
I've got a laptop with Se7en and a PC with LHPup connected to the same router. How can I share files between them? Possibly without Samba, please.
Could you write an understandable answer? I'm new here(but not n00b, only new )
Thanks

To let a Puppy machine see files that are stored on a Windows machine:

1. Declare a shared folder on the Windows machine.

2. Launch Puppy and run YASSM-Search or Pnethood from the Network menu.

---------------------------

To share files on a Puppy machine with other computers, you need to run a server on the host Puppy machine. This could be a full Samba server or an FTP server, but here is my favourite method:

1. Install a basic Python package, like from here. Tahrpup already has one.

2. Install the SimplePythonHTTPServer-1.0.pet attached below. It adds a menu entry under Network.

3. Set up a folder anywhere on your Puppy system and add the files you want to share.

4. Run SimplePythonHTTPServer. Note your IP address. Select the share folder and click Start Server.

5. Go to a client machine and open a web browser.

6. Type in the server's URL

Code: Select all

Glad to help.

You could auto-start the server when Puppy boots, by creating a script in the /root/Startup folder. Add two lines like

Code: Select all

cd /.../share
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

there is another option, install a HTTP File server, this will allow you to upload and download using groups and users, this is a bit more complex but more versatile, you will need java installed, Apache Tomcat http://tomcat.apache.org/download-60.cgiand httpfileserver, http://httpfileserver.sourceforge.net/ I found it quite useful, it even zips the downloads and streams MP3's you can also edit text files and manage the the server remotely, installation is a breeze, httpfileserver is a GUI install just have to tick all the right box's, there are lots of doc's on how it's done and it works fine in puppy

Hi, I have installed samba 3.5.6 from PPM on a frugal install of Lucid Puppy 5.2. From other linux box (client) I can ping the server (lupu5.2). However, the server's netbios name (computer name)is not shown anywhere in the client box. How can I have access to the server's folders/files from the client?
Thanks in advance!

Hi marco 07

I'm not quite sure if I understood your problem, but this thread enabled me to get Samba running:

Note that there are two ways to run a samba server, another one is Samba-TNG, a lightweight samba server:
