Step 1 learn about Linux and Windows Shared File Samba (v0.2b) (1)

0. Prerequisites for setting up a Samba server;

Linux is a multi-user operating system. Setting up any server is related to users, user groups, and permissions. This is the basis for operations. The Samba server is no exception. It is also very important to master this knowledge. Although the shared file server can also be mounted on Windows systems, its permission control is not flattering. If we use Windows to frame a network shared file system, we can also be confused by clicking the mouse. But in Linux, we can easily change the configuration file and build our Samba server in less than a few minutes. Which is easier? Only you know;

For the setup of Samba server, some brothers simply think that they only need to change the configuration file and create the corresponding directory. In fact, this is not the case. We need to do more in-depth work, such as directory permissions and ownership, that is, to allow users and user groups to have read and write permissions. Only by combining the configuration file with the permission of the shared directory can the Samba server be ready;

1 Samba Introduction

SambaSMB is an internet server used for sharing files between Linux and Windows. Samba can be used for sharing files between Windows and Linux, it is also used for file sharing between Linux and Linux. However, for file sharing between Linux and Linux, the Network File System NFS is better, and NFS also needs to set up servers;

We all know that each machine in the Windows network can be a file sharing server or a client, and Samba can do the same, for example, a Linux machine, if the Samba Server is mounted, it can act as a shared Server, and can also be used as a client to Access Windows shared file systems in other networks, or other Linux Sabmba servers;

In Windows network, we can see the shared file function, we can directly use the shared folder as a local hard disk. In Linux, Samba is used to provide a shared file system to machines on the network. It can also be used to mount the sharing of other machines on the local machine; in a sense, this is different from FTP.

2 Samba functions and application scope

Samba should be mainly used in networks where Windows and Linux systems coexist. If a network environment is a Linux or Unix system, it is better to use NFS if Samba is not necessary;

So what services does Samba provide for us? Sharing Files and printers;
