I have a WD 4TB external hard drive connected to my Fedora32 computer on which I have been saving data. It connects via USB, has no ethernet port (I am not the one who bought it) and I would like to make it available on my LAN. Is there any way to do it with software?
When you say "make it available on my LAN" do you mean "make it available to all users on the LAN"
or do you mean "make it available to my user on multiple systems"?
And when you say "my Fedora32 computer" do you mean (as found in another thread) the computer
named "smb" or "ws1"? Or another computer?.
.
"my Fedora32 computer" is this one, WS1. The external drive is presently
connected via USB to ws1. I also have a Fedora 31 computer WS2 on the
same LAN. I would like ws2 to have access to that external drive also.
Presently that would require moving the USB plug which can be done
obviously but is quite inconvenient./I assume if the Mybook had been a
different model with an ethernet port it would work just as it does now
and I hoped that might be possible with an adapter but it appears the
adapter would need to be powered, the one I have is not./
