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 On Mon, Aug 27, 2001 at 02:23:47AM -0400, Steve Dondley wrote: > My setup: I've got a Linksys router connecting my two computers to my > cable modem.
