<p>The OP indicated a desire to share from linuxmachineA to any system with no OS specified. As NFS on windows is poor and CIFS support on Linux is solid, Samba makes sense.<br>
There are web-based file-sharing tools but they're not as easy to use as mounted drive space. Also, they use central file system and aren't designed for desktop level file sharing. </p>

Friends:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am going to draw analogy from Windows here.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>In Windows if I have machineA and has a folder called
outgoing I can share that folder for public access (as in
I dont care who access that within the LAN everyone can
copy from/to that folder)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On machineB I can then do <a>\\machineA\outgoing</a> and
access files/folders from that location. I may choose to
MAP it or I dont have to.</div>
<div>The UNC way of accessing is quite handy in email s and
stuff.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>==================</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Having said that, what is the equivalent of that in
Linux (between Linux computers)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If LinuxMachineX has a folder
/home/developmentuser/goodstuff and I want to share that
so anyone in the world can access that folder what is
required of me to that ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>On the same line another LinuxMachineY has to access
the LinuxMachineA's folder what is to be done by
LinuxMachineB ?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Regards,</div>
