File Servers
If you have more than one computer on a single network. At some point you will probably need to share
files between them. In this section we cover installing and configuring FTP, NFS, and CUPS.

iSCSI Initiator (or Client)
Wikipedia iSCSI Definition:
iSCSI an acronym for Internet Small Computer Systems Interface , an Internet Protocol
(IP)-based storage networking standard for linking data storage facilities. It provides block-level
access to storage devices by carrying SCSI commands over a TCP/IP network.
iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances.
It can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs),
or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
The protocol allows clients (called initiators) to send SCSI commands (CDBs) to storage devices
(targets) on remote servers. It is a storage area network (SAN) protocol, allowing organizations to
consolidate storage into storage arrays while providing clients (such as database and web servers)
with the illusion of locally attached SCSI disks.
It mainly competes with Fibre Channel, but unlike traditional Fibre Channel, which usually
requires dedicated cabling, iSCSI can be run over long distances using existing network infras-
tructure.
Ubuntu Server can be configured as both: iSCSI initiator and iSCSI target. This guide provides com-
mands and configuration options to setup an iSCSI initiator (or Client).
Note: It is assumed that you already have an iSCSI target on your local network and have the
appropriate rights to connect to it. The instructions for setting up a target vary greatly between hardware
providers, so consult your vendor documentation to configure your specific iSCSI target.
