How to Transfer Data from Windows to LinuxIn Feburary 2016 25,

In Feburary 2016 25,
Open your main System Settings. (This differs slightly depending on your Linux distribution, so check your documentation if you're unsure.)
Click 'Services,' and make sure that 'smb' or 'Samba' is running. If it isn't, select the service and click 'Start.'
Go to 'Server Settings,' and then open 'Samba Settings.' Enter the 'Workgroup' name as the name for your Windows workgroup. Click 'OK.'
Click 'Preferences,' and then select the Linux user to whom you wish to transfer files. Set a Windows user name and password, and click 'OK.'
Click 'Add' and then 'Browse.' Choose a folder to which you want to transfer your files. Set the access to 'Read/Write.' Click 'File' and then 'Quit.'
Open your Linux terminal. (Again, this differs depending on your distribution.) Type '/sbin/ipconfig' and press 'Enter.' Make a note of your computer's IP address.

Click 'Start,' and then type '\' followed by the IP address of your Linux machine.
Press 'Enter.'
Enter the Samba user name and password to log in. The shared folder will now be displayed. Copy and paste your files into this folder to transfer them.
