I would use NFS. put all the files on a server and export that directory to all clients. It is very easy to do that.</blockquote> <div> I can see the advantage of doing that, and I will try. I tried to watch a video with vlc on the laptop, with the video file on the desktop. I ssh-ed into the desktop and started vlc. It did run, but the movie was choppy, I assume because of bandwidth issues. Would this problem go away with NFS?
