Yes, but I'm accessing them through my remote[public] IP address. The idea behind it is to have a fifo that works across the network through an NFS mount. Is that possible?
I serched google for 'socket file', and all that I got was 'fifo', but they are to be used only on a singl machine for communication between 2 or more applications, but couldn't find any file abstraction for communication for processes on distinct machines. Do you know of any such thing, cause I couldn't find any.
