Connect to Linux 0.3 server from Windows client?

Now that you have separated the client and server code, would it be possible for me to run the server on my Linux box then connect to it from the Windows version of the client with a Windows laptop on the same LAN?

It definitely will be possible, I'll have to write a bit of code and test it, but should be in the next release.

Re: Connect to Linux 0.3 server from Windows client?

Heya zip. One thing I just realized is that if you connect to the Linux server via a Windows console and you click "ADD" to add a Shared Folder it will open up the Windows path browser and thus I cannot choose a Linux path. Not exactly sure how you can fix this, ideally it would browse the computer the console is connected to, not just localhost. But if that is way too hard then the path of least resistance is the option to manually type in a path (allowing for backslashes '\')

This is actually possible already, just tried it on the Windows console. Just type in '\\myserver\mysharedfolder' . Closing the issue.

Is it possible to type in paths like
  Code:
/mnt/sdc1/path/to/files
too?
Intel SS4200 - Ubuntu Server 8.04

Not sure, you'll have to try when 0.3.1 is out ;-)
