Remotely accessing disk partitions other than the OS via ethernet
by PaulExordium from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5QTGQ)
The setup:
Only two computers connected with an ethernet cable (no switch or router)
Computer 1
Debian 10/Gnome as network server and allowing file sharing
Computer 2
Debian 11/Gnome Live as network client
There are no other networks and both use the x11 protocol.
On computer 2 I graphically access the server with:
+ Other Locations > Connect to Server > ssh://192.168.0.101 (the server IP)
and entering the Debian 10 user name and password.
This works fine for accessing files of Debian 10, but how I can I access files on a different partition than where the OS resides? The partition, or for that matter an external drive, may or may not be already automatically mounted.
