To get Samba working for Windows Share on Linux you need to:
need to fully install Samba too…
So, Install SMBFS and SAMBA
sudo apt-get install smbfs samba
Configure samba
To share stuff, some global parameters need to be changed:
edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
and in the [global] section, make sure the following are set:
- workgroup = WORKGROUP
- security = user
- map to guest = never
For a share example, you could do something like this:
- [canon]
- comment = Canon Copier Share
- read only = no
- guest ok = no
- path = /home/dion/Desktop/Canon Copier Scans
- browseable = yes
- writeable = yes
- create mask = 0660
- directory mask = 0770
