what app would I use to share files on my school's network. I have Redhat 7.1. The network is DHCP and run on MS servers.

You could run an ftp server... or of you were really paranoid about security you could go with scp...

In general, to share files with Windows boxen on your network, you would use Samba (http://www.samba.org). It allows Linux users to mount Windows shares, and allows you to define shares on your box which Win users can access. Exactly how you need to set Samba up depends on your network setup, and whether you only want to be a client (access data on the Win boxen, but not share any of your local data) or a server (Win users can access shared directories on your Linux box as well).
