The question is: How do you connect Linux machines' directories? I'm 
using NFS here, and in this case you will have just an ordinary 
directory as NFS share of the other machine. Gambas would not need to 
have any special way to access this directory, a simple path into it 
would do.

If you want to connect to Windows machines, I know Samba. From the POV 
of the Windows computer, this will look like any ordinary share from 
another Windows computer, but for Linux it is - again - a simple 
directory. At least this is the way I've used it here.

Hm, I don't think so, but AFAIK OOo has its own Basic to do such jobs.
