Re: Sharing files between Linux & Windows machines on LAN
You need samba to share file between Linux and Windows over LAN.
This is official way.
But this takes skill or RTFM :-) which may be too much when you are
newbie using "mc" as shell. (That was me)
Cheating is use dual-booted windows machine and share drive partition.
I suppose you can share files between 2 windows over LAN. When you
dualboot into Linux, edit /etc/fstab and mount windows partition. Then
write on / read from it. For more info:
$ man fstab
$ man mount
or
$ su -c "apt-get install samba smbclient"
$ man smbclient
