Frequently Asked Questions
Which sharing methods are covered?
The course introduces file-sharing concepts, rsync, NFS, Samba, and a simple Python HTTP server so you can compare synchronization and network access methods.
Should I use NFS or Samba?
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.
Is a simple HTTP server safe for public use?
The lesson’s simple server is intended for controlled local sharing and testing, not as a hardened public web server. Avoid exposing sensitive directories.
