Nope.

Just to show off, you understand, I've had Thunderbird in on a dual boot
Windows and Linux box sharing a mailbox file without problems before
now. The settings transferred perfectly, too.


Again, you are the World's Smartest Man. I'm talking about a PhD
rocket scientist like myself, a self-made millionaire. What about the
rest of us John? And if you're not the W.S.M, then please don't like
and pretend setting up such a network was trivial. Probably took you
a few weeks minimum and a lot of grey hairs.

Oh, PLEEEEZZEEEE!!! (rolls eyes)

I do it all the time. File formats are translated when you copy back and
forth. An MP3 on linux is no different than an MP3 on windows, only how
it is stored .
I like to use CrossFTP server on Windows and Gnomeftp on Linux.
I also use Teamviewer between Windows and Windows virtual machines on
Linux hosts.

I wonder what Dopez thinks is happening each time he connects to Google?

You can't possibly be this ignorant. It's a lame attempt at trolling,
right?

It's obvious you haven't heard of samba which has been around for at
least 10 years. Have you heard of google and the concept of searching
for a phrase like "linux windows file sharing"?

Probably not. You need to crawl out from under your bridge more
often.

Here you go:

That's 90+ pages showing how "easy" it is to set up Samba.

That doesn't alter the fact that people have been using it for years
and years and years and doing so in a manner that's transparent to the
relevant Windows or MacOS users.

Mac users aren't supposed to be capable of organizing their
own files with the Finder or browse the storage on a digital
camera yet they can be expected to track down their own QT
extensions with no real help from Apple.

I did notice that most of the posts were along the lines of either "Is
WEP or WPA encryption better?" and the answers, or "Thanks for making it
so clear, it was easy to get working by following your instructions."

Yeah, after YEARS and YEARS of working on it John.

Let's face it: Linux has no Plug-and-Play. 'Nuff said.

For setting up file and print shares, 90 pages of explanation of Samba
aren't necessary.
