All good comments, thanks chums, I will look into some of that.
Never heard of SSHFS, so perhaps that is better then trying to use SAMBA as a default - especially if there is a version that will allow the Windoze boxes to also work with it. I will do some reading.
On the permissions thing, I hear what you are saying, but how come the Win8.1 box can see the Puppy box fine and can connect to it fine, and some of the other Linux distros I tried, won't even SEE the box? Some Linux's did(MINT on a LIVE USB and MX Linux on a separate box), but when I try to connect, they outright refuse to, even though the username and password ARE correct? (or Windoze would also refuse)
Is it perhaps a BIG no-no in the Linux world, to share the root user?
Perhaps THAT is the problem with other Linux's not wanting to talk to the Puppy box, as Puppy users don't really exist - you are always root. Perhaps the other Linux's see that as a security risk perhaps?
