Folding Forum

Hey all,

This may seem like a simple question and for that I apologize. We have a windows webserver which is monitoring all of our windows clients (local shares). Our problem is that we have a growing number of ubuntu boxes and we'd like to monitor progress on our 8 core boxes.

So my question: What is the SIMPLEST way to gain access to the ubuntu fah folders from a windows machine. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

There are a number of ways to do what you want.

In my case I usually open a terminal on the ubuntu computer that I want to see in my monitor program and type
Then navigate to the directory that contains your folding directory. (usually it's /home/yourusername)

Right click on the folding directory name and select sharing options .... click on the Share this folder and Guest access.

If ubuntu is missing any programs to allow this they will be dowloaded and installed.

You might have to reboot the ubuntu box before your windows will see the share on the network but basically that's it.
