Samba: share Linux Folders with your windows machines

This is a video on how to share Linux Folders with your Windows machines. I use a program called Samba to share the folders so that they are surfable in a NetBios (network neighborhood) fashion. This is a command line video however if you have Webmin installed on your server you can also configure it in a similar fashion using a web interface. You can also try tweaking the config file for Samba to better suit your needs. This is a very simple setup.

The commands are...
sudo apt-get install samba

cd /

sudo mkdir realname

sudo chown techno:techno realname

ls -l

sudo smbpasswd -a techno

sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

[sharedname]
path = /realname
available = yes
valid users = techno
read only = no
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

ifconfig

cd sharename

ls -l
