Sambe provides CIFS shares.
Installation of samba is simple. Just type yum install samba
After that I have samba, sambe-client and sambe server installed.
Samba server provides file serving function.
configuration file can be located at /etc/samba
You need to create user and rights for the directory to be shared.
Forr me I create separate directory for file sharing
e.g. a /data for file backup, a /picture for gallery and music, etc
Configuration can be done via webmin. Once you are in, start the smb service, in webmin, you first convert some unix users into samba users, then change the smb.conf to suit your need.
In my case, I always have my home windows PC maps some linux directories for file sharing. |
