Setting Up a Computer as a File Server

To send data from the machine to a computer on your network, you need to specify the settings of the computer for receiving data.
You can send data over a TCP/IP network to any of the following:
FTP server (Windows XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X)
WebDAV server (Windows XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X)
Windows shared folder (Windows XP/Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2)
Samba shared folder (UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X)
This section describes how to set up a computer as an FTP/WebDAV server.
