i can mount the floppy disk of the 203.126.241.59 but i can't mount the floppy disk 203.126.241.50

after i mount the floopy disk in 203.126.241.59, i want to save all the files from the floppy disk to the 203.126.241.59 hardisk

Answer 1:

you could ftp on either machine, so no problem with transferring files wherever it is maybe. The problem now is on your red hat server when your users try to upload files on their own. Even they have their accounts in your slackware server, they don't have in red hat so you need to create for them but how about their passwords??? their lies the problem. For you to lessen your burden, permit anonymous or guest login through ftp and control @ /etc/ftpaccess what they can do.

about your second question, the answer is a big NO. this will lead to your system vulnerability.

hope this may help u.
