Samba is a program that runs on linux computers (such as the Touch or VortexBox), which makes its drives visible on other computers over a network. On windows (at least XP, I don't has vista or Win7) you can bring up windows explorer and click on network neighborhood, click on windows network and you should see the vortexbox, click on that and you will see the drives that it is "exporting". Click on the one you want and you can read or copy anything into it. If you right click on the drive name you get a menu that lets you "mount it", this means it gets a drive letter like other local drives, that way any windows program can read or write it just like it was a local drive on the computer.
