Re: Can debian act as an USB mass storage device?

Lethal Possum:

I have a pretty simple question but so far I have not been able to
find the answer on the Net. I have a file server running Debian (etch)
that I currently connect to with samba. It is great but I would also
like to be able to simply plug my laptop into the server with a USB
cable and see the server as a mass storage device. I don't see any
major issue with this solution so I guess it is feasible. Does anyone
ever tried to setup something like that?

No idea, sorry. But what is the reason for you not to do it with regular
networking hardware? You don't necessarily need a switch/hub for that
and you can mount network filesystems just like local filesystems.
