I tried setting up samba on linux but that failed miserably.
I'm thinking a second bet might be an ftp server on linux?

What do you use to transfer large files from linux to
windows over your local LAN?


If you have lots of very big video files use Bittorrent in LAN only
mode. It's an extremely efficient and easy way to sync stuff.

I will never use powerline telecomunications, nor recommend it to to
others, and that's the main reason.

Well, it simply means that the upgrade procedure is badly designed. Ie,
it attempts the actual upgrade without having completed and verified the
upgrade package in some local memory.

Where I live, Internet itself could crash in the middle of any download,
and come back a minute later on another IP.


Ditto for those devices that allow starting the firmware upgrade with a
half charged battery. Bad design.

For me, it's one tool in the toolbox. When I used it, it was the best of the
available options, meaning it was a poor choice in a sea of worse choices.
My situation has changed and now I have a much better option available,

Yes, I'd say the same. I wouldn't reject it out of hand, but I would reserve
it for the case where wireless isn't practical or where you need slightly
greater reliability than wireless can provide, especially if you ever need
unattended operation. It avoid the need to run Ethernet cable round skirting
boards, down the edge of carpets, under doorways and through holes drilled
in masonry walls.

Most modern houses can use a single router, positioned somewhere centrally
such as near a convenient phone socket in the hall or the living room, and
you can get wifi reception throughout the house. I've chosen to site out
router in my study (with a ribbon-cable phone extension to feed it) so my
main PC can be connected by Ethernet: I need that PC to be accessible
remotely by Teamviewer and I've found that wireless isn't quite reliable,
and if you are away from home you can't just reboot the PC or the router to
restore the wifi connection.

The problem comes with old houses. I've set up routers in old stone
farmhouses with walls (even internal!) that are a foot or more thick. One of
the worst had a satellite internet feed (because ADSL was so poor at that
farm) and it was situated in an outbuilding which they used as an office
(and it was not moveable except at great installation cost), and now they
wanted internet in the main body of the house. I tried a wifi range extender
but I'd have needed on in the middle of the yard as well as one in the
kitchen and one in the lounge to get the coverage that was needed. An
Ethernet cable would have had to either be buried under concrete or else
flown from poles that were high enough for farm vehicles to get underneath.

That was one of the cases where powerline networking was the least worst
solution - fortunately both buildings were on the same mains phase and the
guy was an electrician so he confirmed that there was a bonded earth between
the two buildings. Two powerline devices, one plugged into the router, with
wifi turned off and the other in the house with wifi turned on, were
sufficient to provide coverage.

Well, it can cause interference on other systems, possibly belonging to
other people. That's an absolute no for me. I'd only consider on
isolated houses with no neighbours.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the farmhouse I described with
three-foot-thick walls had no neighbours.

If you don't use powerline, what do you use instead? Do you daisy-chain wifi
repeaters or do you run Ethernet cable along/through walls, either to each
PC or to wifi repeaters that are not in range of the router?

Are there wifi-to-Ethernet converters which can supply a network connection
to a device that only has Ethernet and no wifi (eg our Sky box) and which
are out of easy reach of an Ethernet cable (without drilling holes through
walls)?

usually called called a "wifi bridge", but some "wifi range extenders" can do
that too.

Sure. Any wifi router will work. You run an ethernet cable from the one
router to the wifi router (The WAN link) and then you have wifi.(You do
this right beside the Sky box so no holes needed. Power is however
needed, but then the sky box probably needs power as well, that that
shuld be available)
Now 3 ft think walls might be a problem for wifi to get through, so that
would be my main worry, assuming that the sky box is on the other side
of the wall than the computer.
If you can run ethernet (up the attic and down the other side of the
wall for example) you could put the wifi in an area where there are not
walls between the wifi and the computer.

Use a USB memory stick.

You can always use exfat.

However, for large disks I prefer to use ext4 and avoid Windows.
