Sharing a Mac Folder

cifs

On the Mac machine:

(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:

Modify /etc/fstab and add as an example

//192.168.0.XX/new      /media/macshare cifs    user=USERNAME,pass=PASSWORD,uid=LOCALUSER 0 0

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.

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