Comment on Best Network File Sharing before a NAS
TCB13@lemmy.world 10 months agoI assume your PC is at home and the server at the datacenter. If you actually try to this you’ll most likely end up with broken files and I/O errors because your home’s internet connection might fail, drop or whatever.

Well it’s just a tiny Linux server I made in my house, it stays within my network.

You can follow the other recommendation about mounting SMB shares under Linux or eventually setup an SSH server on Windows and use SSHFS to mount it on the Linux machine. SSH is usually faster than SMB however both of them will have issues, what if the network goes down the windows machine sleeps, reboots, crashes or someone steps on a network cable etc? You are better by avoiding those kinds of setups all together. It is very likely that the connection will drop and the Linux machine will have trouble writing on the mount causing errors and screwing the files.
