File transfer / sharing between embedded linux version 2.6.8.1 and desktops (windows or linux)

For linux hosts we use NSF. For windows I just use ftp. In explorer you can just do the "map network drive" and have it point to your embedded system. It will act mostly like a shared drive.

NSF on a linux host gives you better flexibility. For example you can compile your code on the host and immediately execute on the target. You can also use chroot on the target to keep your root file system on the desktop.

You can even use NSF for your root filesystem. Which can be very nice for embedded work.
