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 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X)

WebDAV server (Windows 2000 Professional/XP/Vista/7/2000 Server/Server 2003/Server 2008, UNIX, Linux, Mac OS X)

Windows shared folder (Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/Server 2003/Server 2008)

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

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

For instructions on how to configure a Windows and Samba shared folder, see "Setting Up a Computer as a File Server."
