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.
