Super newbie here, I'm making a little home server for fun, 4 core cpu, 16gb ram, and probably 4tb hdds (4 1tb discs) I have 1 ubuntu desktop, 1 windows pc, 1 windows laptop and several chromebooks. I'll use Ubuntu server for my server, but for my Ubuntu descrop, how to I save and access stuff from the command line on my server? And what else do I need for the other stuff? I'll be saving a few cd roms on it, along with probably a minecraft game and possibly hosting a small minecraft server on my home server
Look up SAMBA setup for the file sharing, you can simply map a network drive on Windows clients and mount the share(s) on your Linux client with SMB client (part of the SAMBA package).
