AFAICT from your posts Gene, you are the sole user on your LAN, so "sharing files" takes on a particular meaning. > I only drag stuff in and out of the directory in Thunar.

So unless you elaborate on who the potential agents are on your LAN (spouse, kids, kids mates), I don't think sshfs would be an appropriate choice, and neither does an author of the wikipedia page: "SSHFS is an alternative to those protocols [A(pple)FP, NFS, SMB] only in situations where users are confident that files and directories will not be targeted for writing by another user, at the same time."
