Download and install:

• Deb Package Installation

Official Deb Pack Download: http://packages.ubuntu.com/

command to install Dpkg–i xxxx.deb (installation is not successful note Log installation dependency package)

• APT Installation

Apt-get Install Samba

To test whether the installation was successful:

Direct directory access to Linux Ip:\\192.168.xxx.xxx

If you have access will show an empty directory stating that the installation was successful. The installation failed while the access failed.

To access the configuration:

Modifying a configuration file vi/etc/samba/smb.conf

[Global]

This section is generally not modified for global configuration, if it is configured as all users do not need password access to Security = User Configuration Security = Share

[Printers]

Configure the printer, you can not modify

Add the configuration as needed:

[XXXX]-Set the name of the folder to be displayed when accessed under Windows, optionally set

Comment = xxxx ' s file directory--current configuration instructions, arbitrarily set

Path =/home/xxxx--The actual Linux directory that is displayed after access (must be configured)

browseable = yes--can be browsed

public = no-open, yes no account password required

Valid users = @xxxx-allows access to the user (user added using Smbpasswd–a, Root does not need the @ symbol)

writable = yes-writable (not configured by default is not writable)

Create mode = 0664--Creating file permissions

Directory mode = 0775--Catalog permissions

Specific chestnuts:

1. All users can access a common directory without a password

2. User can access the exclusive directory via account

[Public]

Comment = everybody can visit

Path =/home/public

Public = yes
