Dont bother with samba and it associated hassle. Just use smbfs to mount your pcs shares on your Amiga as regular volumes.

@nadoom:

No need to use a ftp-server on the pc if you have smbfs - as then you will get your pcs harddrive as an icon on your Amigas Workbench.

Very convenient and as an added bonus smbfs is very fast compared to most ftp-clients and especially compared to samba (several times faster).

Most people seem prepared to go through fire and ice to be able to get samba working on their Amigas as a means of transferring files to it, which I really cant understand.

Letting your pcs do the fileserving files instead is imho much more convenient way and brains wont need to melt to get smbfs working.
