Temporary Solution To Samba

I don't have to transfer files from Windows to Ubuntu Linux very often, so I can email them over.

  1. Samba has got too many config options for me to help you via the comment boxes.

    But if you just want to occasionally transfer files Windows -> Linux you should just use ssh. It's easy (sudo apt-get install openssh-server) to set up on Ubuntu and on windows you can use the famous putty family of windows ssh clients. Download pscp.exe from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html and from a windows command line:

    > pscp.exe foo.zip user@ubuntu-box:/home/user/windows_files
