    Really? Thanks for the information. I did read a good bit of the Samba
    instructions... but mainly relied on various "how to set up Samba on
    FreeBSD" type web pages, and the books I mentioned earlier. Following
    the instructions on those pages, and altering them slightly when things
    didn't work, didn't get me far...

    The actual amount of files I have to transfer back and forth are small,
    so for now ftp works well. And once I start moving over the html and
    python scripts, I'll be using http within Zope, so I don't think I'll
    need Samba, like I did when starting out. Plus it gives me some
    pleasure to skip out on Windows networking! If I was setting up a LAN
    file server and wanted access from my Windows laptop, things would be
    different, of course.
