How to setup Samba for File Sharing in Linux
Chris Titus Tech
In this video, I go over how to setup samba for file sharing in Linux. This is a streamlined video that goes over the 2 easiest ways to accomplish this task. Timestamps: 0:18 - Samba Share setup in Ubuntu GUI (nautilus) 2:25 - Terminal Setup - Smb.conf walkthrough 12:25 - Enabling SMB 1.0 in Windows 14:37 - Verifying Shares and Access
Below is my Samba Cheat-Sheet I created
Install Samba: sudo apt install samba -y
Stop Samba Service: sudo systemctl stop smbd
Create new directory to share: mkdir linuxshare
Create New /etc/samba/smb.conf
In [global] tag add or change the folowing lines: server role = standalone server map to guest = bad user usershare allow guests = yes hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16 hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
Add new tag at the end: [linuxsharename] comment = Open Linux Share path = /home/titus/linuxshare read only = no guest ok = yes force create mode = 0755 force user = titus force group = titus
TEST SETTINGS Type: testparm
Restart Samba Service sudo systemctl enable smbd sudo systemctl start smbd
OPTIONAL: Allow samba through firewall RHEL/Centos/Fedora sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=samba
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint sudo ufw allow Samba
Now on any Windows Machines enable windows feature "SMB 1.0"
