Linux Mint 13 (mate) and Windows 7 file sharing

Post by mister_lister »

I have been using Linux Mint 13 LTS (mate) from 2012 to now. My parents have a Windows 7 computer which shares a printer to me no problem. All systems are fully up to date.

Using the Win7 interface or the "network servers" applet in LX13, I am able to see the Win7 shared computer from LX13 , but unable to share files and vice versa. There are no password protections and the folders are shared.

How can I share files between these two systems?

Your help would be appreciated.
