Hello,<br />
<br />
I have two servers. One running WIndows 2003 server, and the other CentOS. &nbsp;Both are in the same segment of the network.<br />
<br />
I would like to be able to access some files in a directory on the CentOS server, from an application on the Windows server.<br />
<br />
If this was two windows severs I would just share and map the directory. &nbsp;However I have no experience of Linux and/or CentOS.<br />
<br />
How would i go about doing this? &nbsp;Should i map a directory somehow, or FTP the files to the windows server? &nbsp;Can anyone recoment a solution.<br />
<br />
Thanks.<br />

Sharing files between a CentOS server and WIndows server.

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
