Install samba. In /etc/samba/smb.conf find and modify or add in the
global section:
map to guest = bad user
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
create mask = 0666
directory mask = 0777
Then just use whatever tool you need to set up shared folders with
write access. I normally create a /home/public folder for network
sharing and a non-shared /home/local for local r/w for all users.
This setup needs a firewall and secure wireless since samba will let
the whole world access the share. Make sure the other user home
directories are not browseable from the network.
