Awesome. This is something I have never done either, so this would be cool to consider/add.

This is great. I knew there would be self taught people. What hooked you? Did you just always tinker around.

Thanks, I’ve not seen that. I’ll see about sharing it. And yeah I’m not trying to hard, just a nudge and a point in a direction.

Yeah I absolutely understand it will come down to his actual interests and motivations. I think these are interesting resources and I will do my best to try to pass along what I can do him. The libraries around here probably have some good resources too that I can investigate.

Well it’s just a tiny Linux server I made in my house, it stays within my network.

Ok thanks. I have created /mn, but now it prompts for a password for root@//192.168.69.69/sharedmain

But I didn’t set a password

In my example, wouldn’t I only be able to save .5Tb directly on Linux and only that would be synced to the windows pc? Unless I am reading it wrong, I think I couldn’t have a situation were I save 1tb to windows and 0 on Linux.

Thank you. I am attempting this today. I seem to be struggling with this. I typed in $ sudo mount -t cifs //HOME/sharedmain /mn

HOME is my pc and sharedmain is the folder I created and shared with everyone.

When I run it I get: Couldn’t chdir to /mn: no such file or directory.

I’ve googled a couple of these terms but I’m not getting any cleaner answers.
