Simple Samba file sharing server setup<\/small><\/h2>\n

This is a minimal Samba setup to let other machines access files on a Debian machine. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Install Samba Server<\/h3>\n
<\/span># apt-get install samba<\/pre>\n
Install Samba Client<\/h3>\n
<\/span># apt-get install samba-client<\/pre>\n
Configure the Samba daemon<\/h3>\n
Edit the Samba configuration file. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span># nano \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf<\/pre>\n
In the global section, check the name of the workgroup. It might be useful to know it when you’ll try to connect from a Windows machine: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>[global]\r\n<\/span>   ...\r\n<\/span>   workgroup = STURBAIN<\/pre>\n
Locate the home share definition: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>[homes]<\/pre>\n
In that section you may enable read-write access to the home directories: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>   read only = no<\/pre>\n
To share files in some other path on the system, add another share definition such as: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>[ourfiles]\r\n<\/span>   comment = Some useful files\r\n<\/span>   read only = no\r\n<\/span>   locking = no\r\n<\/span>   path = \/path_to_our_files\r\n<\/span>   guest ok = no<\/pre>\n
Add Samba users<\/h3>\n
Samba uses it’s own password system so users need to be added by root. Note that the users have to exist in \/etc\/passwd <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span># smbpasswd -a me\r\n<\/span># smbpasswd -a you<\/pre>\n
You will be prompted for a password for each of those users. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
To list existing Samba users: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>pdbedit -w -L<\/pre>\n
Restart the Samba daemon<\/h3>\n
<\/span># \/etc\/init.d\/samba restart<\/pre>\n
or, if you are using systemd<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span># \/usr\/sbin\/service smbd restart<\/pre>\n
Try to access the shares (as a normal user)<\/h3>\n
Try locally first, then from another machine on the network which also installed samba client. <\/span>When prompted, use the password entered when adding the user to Samba. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
To access my share: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>$ smbclient \/\/ourmachine\/me<\/pre>\n
To access your share: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>$ smbclient -U you \/\/ourmachine\/you<\/pre>\n
To access our shared(!) share: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
<\/span>$ smbclient \/\/ourmachine\/ourfiles<\/pre>\n
