File server will be the box with ftp - right? Then I can expand my webservers in the future to 2 or more boxes to handle the load -- right? -----Original Message----- From: Duncan Anker [mailto:d.anker@au.darkbluesea.com] Sent: Sunday, November 10, 2002 7:26 PM To: unixnoob@charter.net Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Mounting Files -- Help Plz :) On Mon, 2002-11-11 at 10:12, RD wrote: > Wuzzup guys, > I'm running 2 boxes with freebsd.

That may not be such a great idea - if you have all the drives on your web server, you would need to run the NFS server there, and if you're going to do that, why not just run FTP on the web server? Why not run a web server and a file server, NFS mount the file server on the web server and FTP files to and from the file server. I doubt you're thinking of expanding anytime soon, but if you wanted to run 2 or more web servers, that's a much easier setup. > > And say a user logs into ftp box,, when he uploads a file onto the > other box -- will the file instantly show up for webserver? Okay, a user logs into ftp box ... Yes the file will show up instantly, or as close to.
