SSH (Secure Shell) - you don't need security on home-only network. > Its easiest of all to setup. (well excepting the nautilus suggestion) IMHO, it's not - dozens of options for both the server and client.

FUSE as it name suggests is in user-space, NFS is supported in the kernel. You don't have the overhead. > nfs doesn't really apply to windows commonly, although there is an nfs > program for windows. We're talking about Debian and Ubuntu, not Windows - besides I already mentioned the rationale behind NFS in regards to that. > These days its not that hard to get sshd running on windows either. > Windows 7 is bit more than it used to be, what with needing a new user > and such.. but still once its setup... ssh is quite a nice solution. SFTP on Windows on a home network is an overkill. If Windows was one of the systems I would've suggested Samba as CIFS is supported in Windows without any additional software required. > In fact with the choices mentioned so far (again excepting nautilus) > sshd is the most versatile.
