File sharing on Ubuntu Desktop

[Vincent De Groote]

Hello,

Is it possible to do directory/file sharing from an ubuntu desktop, or is it mandatory to use a server edition for that purpose ?

Tanks for your replies

You can try sshfs to mount remote filesystems to your local directory tree.

it is entirely possible . you can use samba, nfs, ssh etc.

You will probably need to install a server of some sort (Samba, SSHFS, NFS, etc.), but you can do that on a desktop.
