Installing Samba on Ubuntu
What is samba?
Samba is an easy way to share files over Linux And Windows environment. Samba is presented by samba.org and is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides seamless file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients.
Installing Samba.
lets update first the repositories.
open a terminal and type the following :
sudo apt-get update
now install samba
sudo apt-get install samba
now lets edit the configuration file of samba, but before that lets backup the initial configuration file.
cd /etc/samba/
sudo mv smb.conf backsmb.conf
Setup public folder:
First we will create the configuration for a share folder accessible from everyone without any user need it
sudo nano smb.conf
for that add the following to this file:
# [global] workgroup = Workgroup server string = My Samba Share %v security = user map to guest = bad user dns proxy = no # [ShareFolder] comment = This is a folder accessible from everyone path = /sharefolder browsable = yes guest ok = yes read only = no create mask = 0755
next we need to create the directory that will host the share folder and change the user permissions
