====== Sharing a Mac Folder ======

===== cifs =====

**On the Mac machine:**

  * Share the target folder using the tips here:  [[https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18707?locale=en_US]]

(These steps lifted directly from above link)
  * Open Sharing preferences if it isn’t already open (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing).
  * Select the File Sharing checkbox, then click Options.
  * Select “Share files and folders using SMB.”
  * Select the checkbox next to the user account that will be used to share files with Windows users, enter the password for that user, then click OK.
  * Click Done.
  * Open Network preferences, select your active connection, then click Advanced.
  * Click the WINS tab, then enter the workgroup name used by the Windows computer.
  * If you don’t know the workgroup name, on the Windows computer open Control Panel > System and Security > System. (Windows computers normally use either WORKGROUP or MSHOME.)
  * Click OK, then click Apply.


  * **NOTE:** Make sure the share is write-able by the user, I think it might be by default
 
**On the Linux machine:**

  * CentOS Link CIFS Help:  [[https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/WindowsShares]]
  * Make a directory to write mount the share <code>
sudo mkdir /media/macshare
</code>
  * Modify **/etc/fstab** and add as an example<code>
//192.168.0.XX/quicklook      /media/macshare cifs    user=USERNAME,pass=PASSWORD,uid=LOCALUSER 0 0
</code>



===== rsync =====

  * Could just rsync the files every minute after creating them locally.  I actually like this, except we're going to have to write the files locally... and I would rather just write them over the network to a shared drive and be done with it not taking up local drive space and not competing with the primary data files for the drive's attention.

===== sshfs =====

This looks really simple, maybe a bit slow... look at the weaker encryption maybe for speed.  Or just use CIFS or something simple...
