![]() I’ve tried fiddling with these values (I plan on running this on a local IP address 192.168.50.56 ) and for mount point and path I specify /dev/sda and I get the error message: When I click on New NFS Mount I’m presented with a popup box which wants me to fill in 3 empty boxes: But I can’t get Fedora to use the 1.77TB free space on the single HD. I’m guessing I have to go to NFS because I think that means Network File Service. I want to set up the 4 password protected directories and begin to copy files from the Ubuntu Server to Fedora Server via the home network. When I go on Chrome on my Windows 7 PC and login with the IP address (because typing doesn’t work for me), I get to the login window and I can login successfully with the administrator name and password I set up with adminstrator privileges. I want to create 4 directories, each one with a password protection. I partitioned the hard drive during the install process to have a Home directory with about 1.77TB free space and this is where I want to store network accessible files (photos, movies, music, etc…). ![]() I have downloaded the Fedora Server installer onto a DVD and I have installed Fedora 35 on the Optiplex with the single 2TB HD. Please bear in mind that I’m not a computer professional and I despise command line stuff in Linux because I don’t know and don’t understand most of the commands, I don’t work in computers for a living. The Optiplex is placed up on a shelf out of the way with no monitor, keyboard or mouse so I can use Remote Desktop Connection on my Windows 7 PC to login and administer the Optiplex. The Optiplex is connected via an Ethernet cable and it is connected to a UPS. My friend recommended Fedora over Ubuntu. I’m presently using a Ubuntu setup as a file server running on a USFF Dell Optiplex 990 with a single 2TB hard drive. I asked him whether I should use Windows server for home use but recommended Fedora. ![]() A friend of mine recommended I try using Fedora Server 35 to make a home file server. ![]()
