You mean: usb/LAN dongels?
Yes, they exist for ages.
Usb-2 will do max 100Mb,
For 1Gb you need usb3 (Dongle & Port)
Cisco have them, but I prefer those with a tiny usb-cord, more flexible and less problems
when patch cords are rigid.

Subject: USB to LAN -
Is there an application for this workstation that will make the USB
output from an external drive [WD-mybook] available to my ethernet LAN?
I want to save NFS data to the Mybook and as it is I will have to
connect it to the NFS USB port.

I have one of those adapters I bought a few months ago, dunno if it will
work for that but I can give it a try later.
Now I plugged the external into a USB on the back of the NFS main board.
I can see it with LSUSB via ssh. It did not mount automatically , the
server has no display or keyboard connected to it. Any idea how to do
that would help, if possible?

Just to make sure I am not too confused -- I have not had my
morning tea yet -- you
1. Have an external USB drive which is connected to your laptop
2. Want to make the contents of said USB drive available through NFS
3. Something about using an USB/LAN dongle
Do you want to make files available to everyone or just to one other user/host?
You can
1. Install NFS server in the laptop
2. Mount the WD-mybook into laptop (say, into /mnt).
3. Share that fileshare (/mnt in this example) using either command
line or the /etc/exportfs file (and then do 'export -a' for it take
effect)
4. If you need to share through ethernet instead of wifi, USB/LAN dongle time
Do let us know which step you need help with

No, the NFS server can not be mounted
but I can connect via ssh from my
desktop workstation.
The external drive is normally connected to a USB port on the desktop
workstation.
I want top save the NFS data to the external drive connected to the
desktop workstaion. It should be convenient if both computers could work
with the external derive without moving cable connections. That was what
I tried to ask initially ...
Mow I have the external mybook drive connected to the NFS USB but don't
know how to mount the USB external drive on the NFS. Usually an icon
should pop up on the screen but there is no monitor connected to the
NFS, only SSH from this desktop.

I think there may be some terminology confusion here. It sounds to me like you have a NAS
(network attached storage) device and you want to copy data from the NAS to an USB drive.
The NAS was presumably sharing files via NFS but now there is an issue with the NAS where
you can no longer mount it to access the files but you can SSH into it? Is this correct?

No, it is a network file system, and it is broken ... I
once installed
FreeNAS, a BSD program that was an nas and worked well enough, dunno if
it is still available? But that's not my problem.
I don't think this is worth dwelling on any further=her, thanks all for
the suggestions, Bob

No, the NFS server can not be mounted but I can connect via ssh from my
desktop workstation.
IF by "I can connect via ssh from my desktop workstation" you
mean you can ssh from desktop to the NFS server, why not use rsync
from the desktop (assuming it is a Linux/Unix/OSX box):
rsync -avz --partial --progress
user@nfs-box:/path/to/stuff/you/want/to/copy
/mountpoint/where/you/mounted/USB/drive
Can add the bwlimit option to keep it from using up your connection if you want.

There was a power outage and when I switched back on the NFS server was
no longer available on the LAN. /t is still accessible using ssh and I

I can copy data m
rsync should work. What I can not do now is access
r=the external USB drive since it must be mounted on the NFS server and
I don't know how to do that from the command line. Usually it pops up on
the desktop Thunar file manager display where it can be mounted ans
unmounted how to do that from the command line via ssh is my question?

Ok, I found it, when the external drive was plugged in to the NFS server
it shows up as /dev/sdc. I mounted that and copied the files: 101G
/mnt/test/NFSdata/nfs4exports/home to the my-book external drive.
Thanks for the help, Bob
