Before you begin
The course introduces file-sharing concepts, rsync, NFS, Samba, and a simple Python HTTP server so you can compare synchronization and network access methods.
NFS is common between Unix-like systems, while Samba is useful for SMB compatibility across Linux, Windows, and other clients. Your network determines the best fit.
The lesson’s simple server is intended for controlled local sharing and testing, not as a hardened public web server. Avoid exposing sensitive directories.
