The problem with this is that the PC is a closed system used for medical ultrasound acquisitions, and I do not have access to it. So I cannot configure any shares, and have to use what is already configured. The software allows export of data to an USB stick, but I would like to avoid having to move the stick around to the Linux PC afterwards. Wonko
