It seems unlikely a Windows machine or client would connect directly to a Linux server without additional tools. Your dedicated Linux partition should help confirm the setup.

No, I haven't explored FTP yet.

I accept that. FTP is the File Transfer Protocol. It allows you to link to the Linux server and retrieve files from it.

The statement seems to discuss how Windows clients and Linux servers might be on different partitions within the same machine. It suggests using FAT32 for Linux partitions to easily access data from Linux while working in Windows. This approach could be useful if you plan to use it again, though it may not be necessary now. You might consider trying the new Linux subsystem feature for Windows. For sharing files between Linux and Windows, options like FTP or Samba are common, allowing clients to view files regardless of their underlying filesystem. Samba is preferred for LAN environments because it presents shared directories as network storage. Once a Windows machine connects, it can be mapped to a drive letter and remain available after reboots. FTP requires an external client for remote access, while Samba offers a more integrated solution within a local network.

You're welcome, simply configure an SMB fileshare on the Linux server.
