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. Would you be the only user of the drive? Would you be using the drive only from a Fedora host? Do you expect the usage to be heavy? The drive needs to be always available or from time to time? If the answers to the above are "Yes, Yes, No, time-to-time", then George's suggestion of sshfs would make perfect sense. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
