Is there a simple way to share a folder on a Red Hat Linux dedicated file server such that remote users can find it over the internet and map it on their Windows XP machines, and thus enable a pure old-fashioned file server setup. I have a great FoxPro Windows 2.6 application I will install on each client. No server-side Fox execution, only data on the server.
Or perhaps with the files simply sitting on the server, is there a way to hard-code the data path to that server directory at the top of my .prg?
I have been told about Samba and Virtual Private Networks, but wonder if there is something simpler.
