Why is file sharing so hard in linux?
spent the better part of the day trying to share my download folders btw two kubuntu pc's...
my setup
2 pcs running kubuntu 14.04, wired network/netgear router/dhcp
first tried samba, why isn't this installed by default? I got it working, but does not maintain sharing between reboots, have to do sharing all over again
so since i have no windows pc's anymore, thought why not try native linux file sharing a try (ouch!!!)
i read many guides on setting up nfs, on the ubuntu site, digital oceans and a couple of others, one thing, they are all different....
after creating directories editing exports and fstabs i got one pc to see the other, but not both??
not looking for help, just that *** i wish **** kubuntu/debian/ubuntu would create a networking wizard much akin to what we had in windows 7. all in all pretty happy with linux switch over, but some things make you wonder, why is it so difficult?
peace
