Thanks for thinking of additional solutions for how to access the other
desktop operating systems from a boot to Ubuntu.

While we've covered SMB in gory detail on all the platform newsgroups
(Winodws, Android, iOS, and Mac), I don't think the SMB protocol (or any
server:client protocol such as HTTP, FTP, SMB, SSH, etc.) apply in this
situation because we're only booted to one of the three desktop operating
systems at a time.

That is, in the most complex case, we have a triple-boot desktop (or dual
boot), where we boot to Ubuntu and where we want to access the file system
of the non-booted systems's files.

I don't think, offhand anyway, that a server:client setup will work, but I
do agree that in _other_ situations, a server:client setup does do things
that are useful

For example:
a. Run an SMB server on any desktop os and then access via a mobile client
b. Run an FTP server on any mobile os and then access via a desktop client
c. Run an HTTP server on any mobile os and then access via a desktop client

I have done SSH (years ago) where I don't remember the SSH setup direction:
d. Run an FTP server on any desktop os and then access via a mobile client?
d. Run an FTP server on any mobile os and then access via a desktop client?

But note for the client:server setups, _both_ OS's need to be running!
