how to make Desktop viewable from network?

[Member AZgl1800]

on all of my other Linux and Windows PCs, I am able to Share a folder or the Desktop easily with just a right click, Share, Automatic Read/Write. Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon makes this ridiculously simple.

but, I am setting up an Itronix GoBook circa 2005 and it is very short on resources and I need a Linux with a very small footprint… so I am using antiX

ConnectShares is very convoluted and I cannot figure out how to just make the desktop shared to the network.

I put up 100s of pictures a day, and I just use my Android cellphone’s ASUS File Manager app to copy pictures from the phone to any of the other PCs on my WiFi network. I just click on the PC that I want, then Desktop and then SEND.

No amount of me messing around with antiX has made this PC visible on the network.

I think that you are referring to setting up a samba share? If you are then I am fairly certain that you will need to install the samba server from the repo and configure it in /etc/samba/smb.conf
