• ShareFS?

    From Alexander Ausserstorfer@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 6 09:41:02 2022
    Is it possible, to share a hard disc (or a part of it) in ADFS format over
    the Internet with other - or may be all - RISC OS users?

    In general, no. ShareFS is strictly a local protocol.

    It would in theory be possible to run Moonfish as an NFS server and then
    allow NFS access from the internet. It would be strongly inadvisable to
    make that writeable, since your HDD will rapidly fill up with illegal
    content, but even if read only you're likely to find the machine soon
    under attack by people trying their luck.

    It is possible to 'share' a HDD image as a file, for example one created by RPCEmu, as a regular download from a website. Obviously doing it in that
    way the downloaders would have to get the whole thing and it wouldn't update unless they downloaded it again. So that's probably not what you meant.

    Another option would be a 'cloud' filesystem like CloudFS - I'm not familiar with PCloud which is the company they use for the cloud storage, but many of those allow you to make some files on your cloud storage public.

    Or, if you had another machine (Windows, Linux, Mac etc) you could run a
    cloud client like Dropbox, Onedrive, iCloud, etc and then share that over
    your local network to your RISC OS machine, using LanMan98 or Sunfish to
    update the files which are stored on the Windows/etc machine.

    ShareFS supports all the RISC OS native meta data that Filecore does.
    Filecore format being hat you meant, when you say ADFS format.

    I've been emailed RISCOS files - usually within an archive.
