shared folder: reverse

[P_V]

Hallo all,
I was wondering if it is possible to do the opposite of the usual procedure for sharing a folder, in practice I would like to have
the on the guest(Fedora 13) and access it from the host (Mac).

In practice I chose a folder on the guest and I access to it from the Mac.

The reason is that I rarely access to the shared folder from the Mac, while I often access to it from the guest Fedora 13,
and when I check with a "ls" command the shared folders are listed on a green background that renders the reading of the names very difficult.
Moreover I would like to syncronize the shared folder with a remote linux machine from time to time.

thanks
cheers
Paolo

Use either Bridged networking or Host only and set up Samba on the Guest. Plenty of howto's on the net to go by. Keep in mind that with Host-Only, other systems on your network won't be able to access the share, while the Host can.

If you just want to have a better view of the SF when you use 'ls', then remove the alias it has from your .bashrc or .bash_alias file. A simple run of 'ls --color=never' will give you the default white (or black, depending on the terminal colours) text without any background or whatever.
