What's the best way to run a file server on my regular pc with windows on it.

Virtual Machine with either BSD or XPEnology if you are retarded.
Install Gentoo

Is a virtual machine really the best way to go, won't that take up a lot of resources?
>running a desktop OS on a server
>>54328685
of course its not the best way to go, why the fuck would you even consider that?
just share the fucking folders you want to share.
the fact you are trying to run a 'file server' on your 'regular pc' reeks of fucking high schooler trying to look cool.
the os doesnt matter, use whatever you want

Remote Desktop Gateway to share explorer access, or FTP

1. remove firewall
2. open all ports
3. remove login password
4. ???
5. you can get your files from anywhere
>>54328685
Same guy you quoted.
It's the easiest way you can just forward the ports and you're gucci.
You can even get a shitty USB to ethernet adaptor for better performance( if you do set the vm ethernet adaptor to it).
Otherwise you're better off getting a NAS and going fuckall.

>Running a file server in a VM on a non bare-metal hypervisor, with a fucking usb ethernet adapter of all things.
You are a fucking moron.
>>54328899
Oh and as for the resource part.
You can literally only alocate a single core/thread to it and 512 mb of ram the objective here is to setup the easiest to mantain server where you just staticly link folders on your host PC to it and make it public via the VM.
