filesharing in linux

[mesman00]

does anyone know of any good filesharing programs for linux? or, does anyone know of any good programs for linux that will allow you to scan all of the files between a certain IP range on an open network. i have a program for windows called ShareScan that will allow you to scan microsoft shared networks if you put the ip range in. has anyone heard of anything similar for linux? or filesharing programs

You could use Samba or NFS.

Samba is _very_ easy to configure and it works exactly like a windows network (with workgroups and such); also Samba scans the entire network searching for other Samba servers or Windows boxes (if you want you can even choose IP ranges).

NFS is somthing that I've only just played around with, and well, I only know very basic usage of it.

for pure p2p solution, you can use

emule

http://emule-project.net/index.php?s=downloads

under wine

http://www.winehq.com/

there are others that will work under wine as well, but i believe emule is checked for compatibility under wine before it is compiled, or compiled using a compiler that supports wine natively or something....

good luck!

/edit
or never mind all that and go here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/lmule/

I believe what he is looking for is something that scans the open internet for open windows SMB shares that many people tend to leave unsecured.

that's it. the network at school is the best place to find music by seeing what other people have on their computers, and the speeds are incredible fast.

As for whether any software like this exists for linux, I don't know, but I myself can imagine writing a bash script which would use smbclient to easily do this.

Essentialy, you would want to incriment each IP address through the specified range, then issue generic connect parameters to smbclient based on each IP, and then check for success by using the variable $? (0 means success, 1 means failure).

Shouldn't be anymore than 100 lines of code, just read up a bit on bash syntax, it's fairly easy. (hell, I would write it myself if I didn't have class in an hour and I wasn't this close to finals :P )

You also enjoy sucking balls, yet you don't hear us complaining.

pandamoan.::. Saying things like that are not only offending but off topic and won't do anything else but create spam. This is technical discussion not commenting on other people’s tastes.
