installing ftp server on
installing ftp server on linux is easier than what u can imagine
here is the steps
1- install proftp
2- the folder /home/ftp will be created for u
3- any files u put on this folder will be avilable to the others
4- to configure your ftp server u edit the configuration files or use webmin
I recommend u to install and use webmind
Note:
If u r using shared DSL connection to access the internet then no body will be able to access your server outside your LAN (local area network) in this case u will need to configure your router to allow that

first make sure u have samba installed
if ur Mandrake then most likely u r using KDE
the simplest way (in my opinion) is the following:
1- take the local IP of the windows machine u want to access (using ipconfig)
2- now from linux start-> run
3- type in the box smb://theIPaddress then click ok
4- u should be able now to see the windows shares of this IP
5- enjoy
