Copying different files to and from your home network

Now that your Raspberry Pi Zero is sitting comfortably on your home network, it can work as a central part of it and interact with the other computers using it. This will show you how to set up a file share on your Raspberry Pi that can interact with the computers on your home network.

Getting ready

You can either stay connected to your Zero over SSH, or you can open a terminal in your VNC viewer window-it's all up to you. Because it is rendering graphics, VNC will tend to be a more resource intensive and maybe a little more choppy than your SSH terminal; this recipe does not require any GUI tools to get working.

How to do it...

Samba is really the easiest way to set up a file share if you have Windows machines on your network. While Macs and Linux machines work with Network File Sharing (NFS) very easily, success with using this on Windows operating systems varies quite a bit. Most Home Edition versions of Windows unfortunately do not support...
