The easiest solution would be to connect both machines with an ethernet |

cable and run samba on Linux. The interfaces will be configured with a |

If USB connections between the 2 machines are allowed then “IP |
| 20 |
connection between the machines is not allowed” surely does not apply |

to direct ethernet connections between the 2 machines? |
