Sharing data across a network only works well for very small files and PC's. So, if you have lots of little files to share between a MF and PC's, NFS may be an option for you.
Next up is a scheduled, coordinated FTP of selected files. Problem here is getting updates back to the source files. The coordinated sharing of data is what database managers do and why people buy them. This is not a trivial undertaking in many cases.

Looking further DFS/SMB and NFS both seem to be options. Has anyone had some experience with both?, are there data size limits within either ?. What would be the simplest to mange ?.
