In this example, I will show how to install samba and configure network share on Ubuntu 12.04. Samba is a graphical user interface to help with configuration and management, there are several GUI interfaces to Samba available, for me the most simple and powerful one of these tools is samba server configuration tool.
Installing Samba on Ubuntu:
1- Install Samba filesFirst thing we need to do is to install samba, go to Software center in Ubuntu and search for samba then install the package. If you want to install it via terminal then copy this command :
sudo apt-get install samba samba-common2- Install some dependencies for Configuration tools (don`t forget to install python-glade2)
sudo apt-get install python-glade23- Installing Samba Server configuration Tool :
Now install the graphical interface System-config samba
sudo apt-get install system-config-samba4- Add a Linux/Unix user:
adduser pirat95- Make a Linux/Unix password for user pirat9
passwd pirat9
sudo smbpasswd -a pirat9Now the configuration is done.
New SMB password
retype New SMB Password
9-
Now, let`s test if samba share is working from another Linux Machine,
in my case will try to connect from LinuxMint12 machine to Ubuntu 12.04
machine where we just installed samba, from menu open connect to server and type the details of your Ubuntu machine
