Neverending problems with Linux

Hello Guys,
i have a CNC Router and a CNC Lathe with linuxcnc  (Debian Wheezy) in my workshop, and a windows pc with Fusion 360, where i do create my machining programs.
I would like to be able to save those files and have access to them from my Lathe pc or Router pc. This is nothing special, or at least if shouldnt be, but not on Linux.
For now i tried at least 4 different things to be able to share files between my Windows pc and the Linuxcnc pc, but non is working.
I cannot tell anymore what exactly i have tried, but one problem after another just makes me extremly pissed, because it remembers me how much time and nerves i lost doing really simple things like setting up the network, installing google chrome (also impossible it seems) and some other things.
I tested something with cifs-util: I followed at least 3 tutorials, all where with about the same commands for the terminal, but everytime i get some GLIC.2.7 missing (i dont know anymore the correct name)
I then tried dropbox
Then tried onedrive.
I have headache. 3-4 hours lost as always when trying to do something with linux.

Ps: since 2017 its the 3 time i try to get this file sharing done, but today is the first time i decide to post about it, because i just dont want to run around unplugging and pluggin the usb stick.

Does it have something to do that debian wheezy (with the 2.8 version) is so old? Or what is the problem?
I cant even install google chrome, which i think i need, so that i can open at least the ONEDRIVE browser website, so that i can download the files from onedrive. Onedrive website is not loading on iceweasel.

Is there a option to update the ?DISTRO?, so that i have linuxcnc running on a system that is less problematic, where its possible to do simple things as e.g. install google chrome, install onedrive or at least open the god damn website .
Guys, dont get me wrong. I have nothing against Linuxcnc.

I dont expect you to explain me how to get it done, but as i said, i have read at least 3 tutorials for the cifs-util, a couple for dropbox and a couple for Onedrive, but always i get a error, where is dont expect to get a error, because i am doing everything exactly as in the tutorial. I am copying those commands.

It’s really hard to diagnose as you aren’t saying what the errors are.
Are you absolutely positive that windows has file sharing setup properly ? This can be an issue.
Another thing that can be a pain is setting up permissions.

It could also help if you had a link to one or two of the tutorials you tried, then we’d know where you’re at.
Also the version of windows you are using as well.
Another option is that some routers have an option for file sharing, you plug a USB drive in and set it up according to your router. Sometimes this is a bit easier as the access settings aren’t so paranoid.
But the very first thing you need to establish is that you can ping each pc from one another.

Just another thought, have you looked into setting up FileZilla as a FTP server on the windows machine ?
Haven’t tried it myself as a server but have used it as an FTP client and have had zero issues.

Cant do this anymore bye all wrote:

It can also do SFTP, so i used this for many years (20? more?) till i made a NAS last year from an old mainboard and 5 SSD, later added 3 HDD to it.

I always use Avahi and Samba. Though I am sharing between Linux and Mac.

Samba is classi Windows filesharing, Avahi is the Linux version of Bonjour / Zeroconf and is what lets the PCs on the network find each other.

Sorry, i should have provided more information, but i just thought that maybe someone will say something like its because of the debian wheezy version or so, then i would just not anymore try to get it to work through network file sharing and would look for a different solution, like what you posted in the second reply.
I have a webspace where i could upload the files and then download it on the cnc pc, and for the upload i would use filezilla, but not sure if i can save the programm file from fusion 360 straight to a folder on the webspace. You helped me to find a alternative solution and before i will continue with fixing problems not knowing what i really do, i will just do it that way. All my computers are connected through LAN cable, so downloading the files is better than using the usb stick.
