Basically I wish to create a share on my Debian machine and be able to access it through my XP box currently I have installed samba on Etch and have assigned the computer a static I.P I kinda tried some experimentation last night and got as far as seeing my Debian machine in windows but for some strange reason I cannot log into it.


Alternatively you might want to start the ssh daemon on he Debian box
and copy files around the two machines with winscp.
