If you _just_ wish to share files, use Samba - as it can talk to Linux
and Windows boxes.

I'm not sure why you want LAMP (are you getting ancronym overload?)

Anyway, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf, you'll find it quite well commented.
Setup a share, and create some Samba users on your box (man smbpasswd).

Then it should should work from Windows. 

Under Linux, you'll need to mount the things, which is normally
something like :

mount -t cifs //server/share /path/to/mount -O
username=xxxx,password=yyyyy 

(That's off the top of my head, so I may be wrong)

You can stick the above into /etc/fstab so it's automatic, but I'll
skip that for now.

David.
