This may be obvious to some, but, what's the best way of sharing folders and files on a server? I'm so used to having lots of windows machines that i would normally just go for samba but in this instance i wandered if there were any better choices. I have the following machines: - Desktop (linux) (wireless 54) - Server (linux) (wired 100) - Work Laptop (linux mostly, boot to windows for some projects) (wireless 54) - PC2 (windows - and has to be) (wireless 11) - XBox (supports most protocols from XBMC) (wired 10, if that!) As you can see, most of this is now linux, but i do still have the odd windows client in there. I need my server to serve me up files, http and ftp and anything else that i may think of in the future (mail as discussed earlier in the week for instance). So is samba still the natural way to expose the directories i want to be able to read and write on the server from clients or is there perhaps a better way. By better, i really mean "faster file transfer" since the server is inside a "double NAT'd" router configuration.
