[QUOTE=wartstew;200037]NFS - Yes I noticed the portmap daemon on the N810 I just didn't know if it had a complete NFS server on it and haven't tried to access it that way. Maybe I should.[/url]

You're right, there is no NFS server for the NIT.

However, here are two userspace implementations from Debian Lenny:
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/unfs3
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/nfs-user-server

Notice both are ported to armel, and light & relaxed regarding dependancies. Hence, theres quite some chance they'll work but I haven't tried it.

Theres also a kernel-based NFS server but it has much more dependancies.
http://packages.debian.org/lenny/nfs-kernel-server

The other way around (the NIT mounting Windows over SSH) works btw: use copSSH or cygwin-sshd to run SSH server on NIT. Then mount the filesystem using FUSE & SSHFS on the NIT. Just saying.

I found some more alternatives for you via Google (see here) but a quick glanced told me they're either not in Windows Explorer, or they're proprietary.

FWIW, I use this: fileserver running SSH, CIFS (SMB), and NFS (disabled for now). Then I use whatever I prefer. On the NIT e.g. scp command (part of OpenSSH) or SSHFS. To access the NIT i either SSH to it, and from there I can also use copy/paste easily and scp command or SSHFS to/from the fileserver. I even have some authorized keys setup, so whereever I am on the world, I can always copy easily & safely to/from my fileserver, log in to it, or mount the fileserver. Only problem is when my NIT is stolen...
