Hello,

Whats the best solution for me?

I've got 3 Windows PC's at home, both of which download Car Videos and bits & bobs. At the moment this stuff is stored individually on each of there hard-drives, they have only old PC's with 4/6gb harddrives. So don't have much space, usally these PC's end up downloading the same videos as each other. What i want is too store all the data in one central location? And a easy way for those windows PC's to access the information as well.


I want to setup some kind of Video Server / File server, so that either windows PC can upload to the server via the local network, but the process from Windows PC to File Server must be easy as my brothers arn't very bright on PCs.

Any ideas?
Fedora? Any software recommendations?

Set up an ftp server and let them up/download their stuff to it.
It can't get much more simple than that.

FTP is the most simple solution, Win2000 and XP also support "Web Folders", so you could "mount" the FTP in Windows. Another way could be setting up Samba and create SMB shares on a centralized fileserver, so that you can use Windows Network Drives.
