file handling across servers

hi all

f1=demo1:/u2/test/test.doc (sco 5.0.5)
f2=demo2:/u2/test/test.doc (solaris 5.8)

how to use the files across servers? i.e. i want to copy the file from demo1 to demo2 with link (copy -l).

replies appreciated.

use nfs
then mount the filesystem and link to the file you want.

as iam not a "root" user i cannot use nfs. even other wise we have to see the mount point and all for nfs.

is there any other alternate.

what is YP. yellow page(s)???

yp commands are for NIS/NIS+

you dont have an alternative if you want to create a link on your localhost to a file on a remote host.

talk with your unix admin i am sure if it is deffinetly needed he can help you out. NFS takes a few seconds to implament.
