File sharing

Hello, is anyone aware of a way to file share between a Mac book air running Monterey 12.0.1 and a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 running Ubuntu 22.04 LTS?

Thanks

In Sys Prefs>Sharing have you enabled SMB & who can share?

Give access to a folder on my Mac over the Internet I work in a graphic design agency and I’d like to give access to a particular folder on my Mac (well, on a connected external drive hard to be precise) over the Internet as a drop box to my teleworking colleagues so that they can send me folders of finished jobs on a monthly basis. Since this will be a temporary solution until we set up a permanent NAS Server around September, I want something that can be easily set up, without using any free or paid third-party application (or having to make sacrifices to the Ancient Ones… 😆). I’m looking for something that works akin to File Sharing between Macs on the same network. The size of those files can vary from 10 GB to 150 GB depending on the user, if that can be an issue. My MacBook Pro is running the latest macOS Ventura update.

Frustrated with Apple File Sharing Greetings, #1 is a Mid2007 iMac running El Capitan (10.11.6) #2 is a Late2012 iMac running Mojave (10.14.6) #3 is a Mid2014 Macbook Pro running Catalina (10.15.7) I'm always having trouble with file sharing on my three mac network. I decided to give it one last try to set it up, just spent three hours, up and down the stairs, without success and I'm totally frustrated. I do everything the tutorial websites tell me to do but continue to have connection problems and other glitches. For instance, the #3 Macbook Pro won't even let me check the file sharing box to turn file sharing ON. (in File Sharing Preferences). Why is that? How do to fix it? I can connect #2 to #1 and share files but when I try to connect #1 to #2 either as guest, registered user or "using Apple ID" I'm not allowed and told to contact the system administrator. Well, that's me. I'm still trying to find out what user name and password is used for file sharing. Is it the same as my computer login name and password? If so, why doesn't it work? When I set up file sharing I use the user name that is me. I'm the only one here so I don't want any others to be able to share. I also can't understand why I can't remove the "EVERYONE" selection in the "Users" column. I have no situations where I would want everyone to share my data. And what are all those other users? Staff? _fpsd? Can I remove them all except me? Can anyone help me? I'm willing to read a guide if there is an "Apple File Sharing for Dummies" book out there. I just want to get it set up so I can exchange a few files now and then without having to email myself. Thanks, IMacarroni
