Network
I have a wireless router that several PCs in the house share.
My main PC runs Windows 7 and I have Linux Mint on another. Can I set up a network between these two machines that would allow me to exchange files back and forth? |
What kind of router do you have? Is it a newer router with a USB port?

Samba works well for me

Samba works well for a lot of people. We need to know more about his setup before we make that decision though.

Setting up your file share on the Linux box would probably be more stable and perform better - you could use Samba for Windows compatibility. However, setting up a file share on the Windows box is just a couple of check marks. The Linux box should be able to see a CIFS/SMB share just fine but Windows workstation OS doesn't always make the best file share. |

On your Linux box, open the drive like you did and when it prompts you for a username and password, type in your WINDOWS username and password (the one you use to login to the Windows machine) rather than the login you use on the Linux box itself. |

Enter name and password. I have double checked the name/password but it won't access the drive. I am lost??? |

Follow the instructions here: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/conten...Id-397922.html Setup a unique user on that shared folder called "linux" or something similar and then try it again. Windows can be kind of wonky. |
Thought this was going to be about the Chayefsky film.

If you are only copying files then use winscp over ssh |

It tells the machine you connecting to that you are using a local account. |
