Using Ubuntu to access files shared by windows is very simple and will be supported by default after the system is installed. However, if you want to access ubuntu in xp, this is more complicated. Write down the method. Simple Steps: 1. Install samba (sudoapt-getinstallsamba), smbclient (sudoapt-getinstallsmbclient), and smbfs (sudoapt-getinstallsmbfs) to access files shared by windows through Ubuntu. This is very simple, it is supported by default after the system is installed. However, if you want to access ubuntu in xp, this is more complicated. Write down the method.
2. Configure the smb. conf file after installation (command: sudo gedit/etc/samba/smb. conf). You need to modify the following:
* Workgroup = domain name/* enter the workgroup name if the machine is not in the domain */
* Netbios name = computer name/* needless to say, other computers can access it directly through // computer name, so you do not need to remember the IP address. */
* Passwd program =/etc/samba/smbpasswd/* I guess samba is used for password verification */
* Security = user/* This is the authentication and logon method. There are many methods. user is a common one. The administrator needs to manually set an smb account and password; the share mode does not involve usernames and passwords. This mode is very insecure and basically not used. The server is verified by the Samba server or the NT server. I think this is a bit similar to the user verification mechanism in the windows domain, but it should be more complicated. For example, if you use linux as a file server to control the file operation permissions of each user in the domain, linux can be more detailed than windows. The above is just what I think, because I have never tried a linux server. */
The [homes] segment must be browsed by modifying browseable = yes.
3. To add a shared object, you can set it in the system-system management-shared folder, or directly edit the smb. conf file above.
4. Add an SMB account.
First, add a ubuntu account sudo adduser-a xp (here is to add an account named xp, enter the account password.
