basics of file servers

three most common methods of sharing files on file servers:

  • network file system
  • samba
  • ssh filesystem (sshfs)

nfs works best for linux environments, but windows doesn't play nicely with nfs

samba works for linux mac os and is best for mixed environment, but has permissions issues, and make unix/linux nodes needing specific permissions confused

sshfs is mostly for sharing files between linux nodes. possible to use with windows. encrypted the same way ssh is encrypted. nothing to configure on the server except ssh. easy to create/drop connections.
