How do I create a shared folder between two Linux servers?

To share folder between two Linux servers you have to use NFS (Network File System).

  2. Client Name: DB with IP: 172.16.0.31.
  3. Installing NFS Server.
  4. Setting Up the NFS Server.
  5. Create a directory to share and grant full permission to it.

How do I transfer a folder from one computer to another Linux?

In order to copy a directory on Linux, you have to execute the “cp” command with the “-R” option for recursive and specify the source and destination directories to be copied. As an example, let’s say that you want to copy the “/etc” directory into a backup folder named “/etc_backup”.
