Raspberry Pi Installation Samba service

Article reproduced from this blog

1. Sudo apt-get install samba

If you get an error, you'll need to execute sudo apt-get update before re-executing sudo apt-get install samba

Once the installation is complete, the Samba service is installed, and some basic tools are not installed, so you need to install the Samba support tool:

sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin

(Note: This step is very important, if this does not install will cause a tool like smbpasswd not to be installed, the latter will not be able to increase the Samba users)



2. Configure/etc/samba/smb.conf

sudo vi/etc/samba/smb.conf

modify the [homes] segment to read as follows:

[Homes]

comment = Home directories

   browseable = yes

# By default, the home directories is exported read-only. Change the

# Next parameter to ' no ' if you want to is able to write to them.

   Read Only = no

# File Creation Mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to

# Create files with GROUP=RW permissions, set next parameter to 0775.

   Create mask = 0755

# Directory Creation Mask is set to 0700 for security reasons. If you want to

# Create dirs. With GROUP=RW permissions, set next parameter to 0775.

   Directory mask = 0755



3. Add Samba Users:

sudo smbpasswd-a pi

Enter your password two times and it is recommended to be consistent with your system.



4. Restart the Samba service:

sudo service Samba restart



5. Verify the changes:

Access \\192.168.0.19\pi under Windows

Enter the username pi and password, successfully login samba!
