Ways to map the directory of a CentOS server to a Windows disk drive

1. Install Samba (CentOS 5.5):

The code is as follows:

Yum Install samba System-config-samba samba-client Samba-common

　2. Create WWW account

The code is as follows:

/usr/sbin/useradd www

Mkdir-p/data/www

chmod 777/data/www

Chown-r www:www/data/www

cat/etc/passwd | Mksmbpasswd.sh>/etc/samba/smbpasswd

　3. Create Samba configuration file

The code is as follows:

Mv-f/etc/samba/smb.conf/etc/samba/smb.conf.bak

Vi/etc/samba/smb.conf

As follows:

The code is as follows:

[Global]

Server string = Samba Server

Security = User

Encrypt passwords = yes

SMB passwd file =/etc/samba/smbpasswd

[web]

Workgroup = www

NetBIOS name = www

Path =/data/www

browseable = yes

writeable = yes

4. Set a password for the samba user www:

The code is as follows:

Smbpasswd-a www

5. Start Samba:

The code is as follows:

/sbin/service SMB Start

　6. Test in Windows Client

The code is as follows:

192.168.8.32web

Enter user name www and password in the pop-up authentication window (tick remember my password) ok

　7. Map the Linux directory shared by Samba to a drive letter in Windows:

My Computer right button--> mapped network drive--> Select a drive letter that is not used, enter 192.168.8.32web in the folder, check the connection again when you log on (this will automatically connect after you restart the computer), and then enter--> Enter username www and password (tick remember my password) OK, okay.
