Unix for N00bz: How To Access Your Files From Anywhere
Using an old PC or Mac that you already own but no longer use, you will learn how to make up to 2 USB hard drives accessible on the Internet via common protocols such as FTP, HTTP, & SSH, and locally accessible on your home network via the SAMBA protocol, using existing hardware and open-source software.
This setup will enable you to access your sweet data nectar from over the magical waves of Internet without the hassles of using a commercial web host. Hassles such as:
* File size limits
* File type limits
* Price
* Control
Useful for tinkerers of all stripes who need to access their digital media from wherever they are.
