storing files on another computer

[hbrhodes <hbrhodes@gmail.com>]

al-right ... please humor me.  i cannot find the message thread we 
discussed for setting two computers up on a network and dumping/ 
rsyncing files to that computer to prevent a total loss of personal 
files ... i'm really trying to do this now since i'm not in college.  
i'm having trouble getting the other computer to work due to a crappy 
monitor that is hardly legible ... but here is what i have done so far.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
first thing is i have installed FC5 base system with java.  no desktop 
or graphics.  i figure i can tell hosts.allow and hosts.deny what i want 
to do and it should work.  by the way i'm calling the computer 
downstairs LEVEL.ONE .  i told level.one that i want hosts.deny to deny:
all:all

i told level.one that i want hosts.allow to allow:
192.168.100.10
192.168.100.11
192.168.100.12
192.168.100.13

i don't know how to call the computer downstairs level.one while setting 
it up.  it is basically a non-graphical client that i'm putting files 
into the /misc/ folder.  i'm going to create a sub-folder and give it 
chgrp +rwx priviliges since only the network will be able to write to it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the other computer is level.two.  i did the same thing to the hosts.x 
files up here.  here is where i am stuck.  i do not know what to do 
next, or how to access the level.one computer from level.two.  i do not 
know if i should open a server connection or what.

am i heading in the right direction?
