learning Samba, I've run into lots of issues mapping users and getting permissions errors, assessing files. I'm still reading the book I purchased for Samba and it's a slow read getting it all to work, tons of configurations. I've been playing around with SSH and found out that if you install WinFSP and SSHFS-Win from GitHub on a Windows 10 machine, it's super simple to just map a drive from Windows Explorer. All I had to do was create an account for everyone in the family on a Raspberry Pi and then map a drive letter to their home directory using Windows Explorer. Because they each use their own SSH login ID and password, they can't see each other's files on the RAID drive and have lots of storage. It is also persistent and I'm amazed that it just pops back up each time they log in. Has anyone else had luck setting up a home server this way and am I oversimplifying this? In other words, can I expect some issues down the road? It seems much simpler than NFS and Samba. I had to do some (12/41)
