Samba: share Linux Folders with your windows machines
This is a video on how to share Linux Folders with your Windows machines. I use a program called Samba to share the folders so that they are surfable in a NetBios (network neighborhood) fashion. This is a command line video however if you have Webmin installed on your server you can also configure it in a similar fashion using a web interface. You can also try tweaking the config file for Samba to better suit your needs. This is a very simple setup.
The commands are…
sudo apt-get install samba
cd /
sudo mkdir realname
sudo chown techno:techno realname
ls -l
sudo smbpasswd -a techno
sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
[sharedname]
path = /realname
available = yes
valid users = techno
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart
ifconfig
cd sharename
ls -l
