The `/games/` folder is where ROMs are stored. `/games/NES` is where you would place NES ROMs, for instance. Each MiSTer core looks to a specific folder for these ROMs so it is best to put them in the right place.
## Transfer ROMs over the Network with FTP/SFTP/SCP
The Mister has a FTP and SSH server already enabled out of the box.

for more information on how to connect to these services.
## Transfer ROMs over the Network with Samba/SMB
The MiSTer comes setup with a Samba server already, it just needs to be activated. This means you can connect to it like any other shared folder on the network. It's pretty easy.
The MiSTer comes setup with a Samba server already, it just needs to be activated. This means you can connect to it like any other shared folder on the network. It's pretty easy.
First we need to enable the Samba service:
1. Enter the terminal/command line of the MiSTer by press `F9` on your keyboard and type `root` for the username, press enter, and type `1` for the password and press enter.
2. Rename `/media/fat/linux/_samba.sh` to `/media/fat/linux/samba.sh` in the terminal/console on the MiSTer by running the following command:
```
mv /media/fat/linux/_samba.sh /media/fat/linux/samba.sh
```
3. Reboot the MiSTer
4. If you are using Windows, all you need to do is type `\\MiSTer\sdcard\` in the address bar at the top of the File Explorer and press enter. You can do the same in Linux or on MacOS depending on how you access network shares on those systems the same way.
1. Goto the Scripts menu and run `samba_on`
