Basic Samba install & minimal configuration
Create a test folder & file to be shared. (Assuming you'll replace USER with your own username...)
- mkdir ~USER/share
- touch ~USER/share/Foo
Install Samba
- sudo apt install samba -y
Configure the test share
- sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
[New_share] comment= my share path = /home/USER/share browseable = yes Read only = no guest ok = no valid users = USER
- sudo systemctl restart smbd
Set up username & password for Samba acess
- sudo smbpasswd -a USER
Additional bits to install (Client & utils & such...)
- sudo apt install cifs-utils samba-client -y
NOTE: At this point, the share can be accessed, but you need to know where it is because Samba does not advertise it's presence.
You can see the shares from the machine by entering smb://MACHINENAME/
into the address bar of your file browser.
