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.
