I have a samba share running on my server (just an Intel N100 Mini PC). It’s running Fedora Atomic and my desktop is also running Fedora Atomic.

While it’s good enough to watch videos on, reliability when it comes to uploading files to it has been very poor. The connection ends up timing out after a few minutes of uploading.

I found that using rsync to upload files to it has been a lot more reliable.

    You might want to check sshfs but overall yes rsync works well. I just uploaded 200Go yesterday, no failure.

    On my LAN if I want to share without downloading them then I rely on MiniDLNA/ReadyMedia for DLNA/UPnP meaning it works with VLC on desktop, obviously, Android video projectors, mobiles, etc.

    Guess it depends on your usage but I stopped using Samba when I didn’t have Windows machines on my network. Never looked back.
