Easiest way is to run httpd on your system and put public docs for read-only in ~/public_html<br><br>If remote people _have_ to read-write stuff, then it's a bit trickier: NFS or samba (CIFS). NFS is standard *NIX way and windows users can't access it.You can use CIFS (samba) and windows users can access. You _can_ use both at the same but the file locking for writes get messy. *NIX _can_ access CIFS files pretty easy but windows has a hard time with NFS files.<br>
<br>You can also do this over an ssh connection with a gui called filezilla. It's available for all platforms. It allows rw access based on user permissions on the file server.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 25, 2013 at 9:29 AM, Narahari 'n' Savitha <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:savithari@gmail.com" target="_blank">savithari@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
