How to transfer files from RPi

[vishal25]

Hello,
I would like to perform two modes of data transfer from Raspberry Pi 3B.
1] What is the best method to transfer files from the RPi 3B (in a remote location) to a Windows 10 machine , both of them connected to the same Wifi network??
2] What is the best method to transfer files from one RPi 3B(in a remote location) to another RPi 3B and vice-versa , both of them connected to the same Wifi network??
Came across the terms SAMBA and SCP while browsing but did not get a proper resource to implement them and was confused .
Would be grateful to get a proper solution from experts.

To shift a single file
1. Filezilla or WinSCP using ssh/scp/sftp
2. scp or sftp

If you want to permanently access a Linux filesystem for read/write on Windows use Samba
If you want to permanently access a Linux filesystem on another Linux system use NFS

I install Samba from here on everyone of my Pi and it makes transferring (and even direct editing) files trivial from my Win10 PC

But never tried using it between two Pi

The "best" (how do you measure that?) way to transfer data will depend, in part on how much data is to be transferred. For large amounts of data, sneakernet is surprisingly fast. (That is, write the data to a removable storage device and then carry it to the other device where you can read it.)

Based on your reply, I understood that for transfer of files between two Pis , for a single file you have recommended SCP and for permanent access , NFS. Am I right?
If so, do you have resources to implement them?

rsync -va /path/to/data/ user@remote:/path/to/data

A few option provided here
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... te-access/
though they don't mention SAMBA shares (as use on RetroPi and lot of windows netwrok setups, though there was a tutorial in MagPi in recent month I think)

NFS is orders of magnitude better than Samba.
