Thread: Sharing knode between machines

  1. Sharing knode between machines

    Is there any official way of passing knode settings -
    particularly of articles read - from one machine to another?

    At present I use NFS, with ~/.kde/apps/knode on my laptops
    pointing to the same directory on my desktop.
    But I'd prefer something not relying on NFS, if possible.

    you could use unison or rsync to see to sync directories, I would
    recommend unison.

    Thanks, I'll try unison, which I'm already using elsewhere.

    An alternative approach is to use remote X (I recommend freenx/NXClient). I
    do this to access Kontact (mainly using KMail and KNode) across a large
    distance. As long as you have an ssh connection between the two machines it
    should work. Fast too, expecially on a LAN.
