Setting up File Sharing Between Windows, Linux, and Macs with Samba!
This tutorial will show you how to use Samba to share a directory on your Linux machine across your network, accessible by Windows, Linux, and Mac machines. The process takes less than five minutes, and by the end you should immediately see the file server through browsing your Windows network. (This and more at www.linuxhaxor.net) This is not the most secure way to share files via Linux (but you can configure Samba for greater security), and is suitable for a home network without unwanted guests.

Dieses Tutorial wird Ihnen zeigen, wie man Samba verwenden, um ein Verzeichnis auf Ihrem Linux-Rechner im Netzwerk, Windows, Linux und Mac-Rechner erreichbar zu freigeben. Der Vorgang dauert weniger als fünf Minuten, und bis Ende sollten sofort Sie Dateiserver durch Durchsuchen des Windows-Netzwerks. (Dies und noch mehr bei www.linuxhaxor.net) Dies ist nicht die sicherste Möglichkeit zum Freigeben von Dateien über Linux (aber Sie können Samba für größere Sicherheit konfigurieren), und eignet sich für ein privates Netzwerk ohne unerwünschte Gäste.

Great Vidz as always!!
My question to you is, I just partitioned my Macbook Pro notebook & installed windows 7 Home Premium (for school purposes). I went ahead and installed Wubi on the windows side but the internet will not connect in the Ubuntu part. How can I get this to work?
Should I just partition my drive and install Ubuntu separately basically having created a total of 3 partitions Mac, Windows, Ubuntu?

I wish all instructors were as, hmmm, engaging as yourself… I wouldn’t have no problem paying attention… I’m just not sure what all I’d be paying attention to, but thanks for bringing me back into the Linux world…

Looks like samba moved to smbdin in 10.04. very last command should be
(sudo /etc/init.d/smbd restart) but everything worked great. thanks hottie McFlottie

It’s a shame a pretty girl can’t make an instructional video without constant gawking from e-nerds. Thanks for the help.

@MrGizmo757 As for the Win 7 problem (This is common), the easiest solution I have found is to create a FAT32 partition specifically for the Win 7 file sharing. Yes, this is a pain in the ass, yes this is an ugly solution, and yes, this is all thanks to Microsoft and their “new and improved security measures”. If you do go this route, just be aware of the limitations of FAT32(4gb file size max, access rights, etc) and you should be fine.

@MrGizmo757 As far as Mac goes (Assuming OSX), I have had absolutely no luck using Samba to network between a Linux ext3 or ext4 and Macs HFS+. However, SSH was the most logical solution at that point, for my situation at least. You may want to look into an NFS solution on Linux coupled with a free program called NFS Manager for Mac if you’re looking for an easier and more user friendly approach if you have no prior SSH experience.

I have shared files on my Windows 7 desktop, and I want to share to my Ubuntu laptop. Would I have to run Samba? Or can I just access the files by entering my Desktop network name?
