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 Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/Server 2012/10, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X)

WebDAV server (Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/Server 2012/10, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X)

Windows shared folder (Windows Server 2003/Server 2008/Vista/7/Server 2008 R2/8/Server 2012/10)

Samba shared folder (UNIX/Linux/Mac OS X)

This section describes how to set up a computer as an FTP/WebDAV server.
