There is a periodic meeting of linux users in my area where everyone brings laptops and connects to a LAN. Just wondering if I want to share files with them, what are decent options? Is FTP still the best option or has anything more interesting emerged in the past couple decades? Guess I would not want to maintain a webpage so web servers are nixed. It’s mainly so ppl can fetch linux ISO images and perhaps upload what they have as well.

    I mean, yeah?

    NFS is great and all, but it’s not compatible with everything out of the box. Generally, samba is compatible with everything. Linux, Windows, Mac, whatever.

    Samba is the obvious choice because it’s compatible with everything out of the box.
