Sharing linux homefolder with Windows
I;m tired of using SFTP clients to edit my Linux files from Windows and send them back to the server.
Is it possible to make it so that my home directory is accessible in windows? That way I can modify it's contents with ease. FYI: The Linux server is on the same network. |
yes, look into samba, it among other things, emulates windows shares.

Another alternative, if you have ssh and use putty, you can get xming (x server for windows) for your windows machine, enable x-forwarding and then use your favorite editor directly on the linux computer. This setup works well for me from windows 7/8/10 workstations and various fedora/centos7 linux computers on an internal network.

So, I'll be able to edit the files with my Windows Based editor, or does that mean I'll get to use my Linux Editors from Windows? |

I'm doing some programming and I got a editor on my windows computer that far exceeds VIM for what I need it to do. I'll continue to use a SFTP client for now. When I get the chance I'll ask someone with root privileges if we can allow samba to share our home directories. Thanks for the replies. |

If It helps anyone, I came across this. It will let you achieve the ability to work on files from Windows and get them back to the server without messing with FTP clients when samba isn't available. I guess it's still FTP in the end. It works just like samba. No installations required:p http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=windows-7 Could be wrong about this method though. |
