Hi Jochen, Yes mounting samba shares is a pretty convenient and transparent way to access the data on my server. I do that all the time but I think that USB 2.0 might be faster for large transfers. It would also be more "plug and play" if someone visiting me with a laptop just wants to grab some files from the server. And last but not least, I am just curious how this can be done :)
