1. Samba is well documented 2. My router has a readyshare option, plug in a USB flash disk, enable ready share, and I can connect / mount from different devices. The options I have allowed this to be shared on the network, and or shared so that if I enter my external ip address while out and about it will connect and I can access files on the usb disk. It works for what i need it for, so yes probably not ideal for everyone but for shifting files around it works fine. If I want to share lots of files I simply run openssh-server and connect via the file manager and drag files to / from where I want them. In terms of information 1. What operating systems are you using? 2. What are you trying to share between.? e,g (Linux -> Linux) Linux -> Windows. I would guess Linux to MacOS is less of an issue here, as MacOS is built on BSD so I guess you would use NFS (but lets not over complicate things by going off at a tangent) 3. What version of SAMBA are you using? 4. How much data do you want to share?
