CIFS for both.

Hi @Avichai
You would get a lot more answers if you would follow the forum rules before opening a thread, mainly because we need more info. Also reading the manual might help, especially the Sharing chapter. ;)
But anyway, CIFS seems like to way to go here indeed.

Thank you for the quick replies.
Sorry, Next time i'll post with more information.
i will go with the CIFS.
the last time i've setup a FraaNAS system for OSX and Windows with both CIFS and AFP, i encountered read/wright permission issue.
Windows user can't create file in folder that created in OSX and stuff like that. Of course all the users have read/wright permission.
Permission, it's a big word, i guess ;)
just want to make sure i'm not missing something big about that.

let me know if we need additional information.
Thanks...

If you were accessing the same share via CIFS and AFP at the same time, that would cause problems. One protocol per share is the way to go.
