Creating a public Samba shareįirst of all, you will need to decide on the folder to be exported on your system, for this tutorial we are going to choose “/example”. Note : it is recommended to setup Samba authentication if you are exporting shares containing sensitive or personal information. In order to start simply, let’s create a Samba share that will be publicly available to all machines without authentication. Share properties : the path to your share, if it is public, if it can be browsed, if you can read files or create files and so on.Share name : the name of the share as well as the future address for your share (the share name is to be specified into brackets).On Samba, a share is defined by specifying the following fields : Now that your workgroup is properly configured, let’s start by defining simple share definitions for your Samba server. In order to find your current workgroup, head over to the Windows Start Menu, and search for “Show which workgroup this computer is on”. Note : if you are using a domain controller, those settings do not apply to you. If you are working on a Unix-only network, you can skip this section and jump right into share definition. If you plan on including the Samba server into a Windows workgroup, you will need to determine the workgroup your computers belong to. shares definitions : in this section, you will list the different shares exported by the Samba server.global : as its name indicates, it is used in order to define Samba global parameters such as the workgroup (if you are using Windows), the log location, as well as PAM password synchronization if any.The Samba configuration file is composed of different sections : tls : a directory used in order to store TLS and SSL information about your Samba server.įor this section, we are going to focus on the content of the smb.conf file.smb.conf : the main Samba configuration file.gdbcommands : a file containing a set of entries for the GDB debugger (won’t be used at all here).When installing Samba, you will be presented with the following screen.īy default, the Samba folder contains the following entries : Now that your system is up-to-date, you can run the “apt-get install” command on the “samba” package.
Installing Samba on Debianīefore installing Samba, you will need to make sure that your packages are up-to-date with the Debian repositories. Now that you have sudo privileges, let’s jump right into the Samba server installation. If you don’t belong to the sudo group, you can check one of our tutorials in order to gain sudo privileges for Debian instances. To check if you are already a sudo user, you can run the “groups” command and check if “sudo” belongs to the list. In order to install new packages on your system, you will need to be a user with elevated permissions. Connecting to secure Samba using Windows.
