[Tips] File sharing in Ubuntu through samba

要透過samba分享Ubuntu的檔案非常容易,不論是要分享給別人或是存取別人的分享都只要幾個步驟即可完成

分享給別人:
1.安裝smbd服務

$ sudo apt-get install smbfs

2.修改設定檔(範例)

$ vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

[share]
   comment = share folder
   path = /path/to/share
   browseable = yes 
   read only = no          # allow read/write

3.新增使用者

$ sudo smbpasswd -a [username]

4.重新啟動服務即可

$ sudo smbd restart

若要修改不同runlevel的啟動情形,先安裝sysv-rc-conf

$ sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf

要在runlevel 5自動啟動smbd服務

$ sudo sysv-rc-conf

service      1       2       3       4       5       0       6      S    
----------------------------------------------------------------------------    
smbd        [ ]     [ ]     [ ]     [ ]     [X]     [ ]     [ ]     [ ]  

存取別人的分享:
1.以GNOME為例

Places->Connect to Server...

2.選擇分享類型

Server Type: Windows share
Server: /ip/to/server
Folder: /name/of/share
User Name: /name/of/user
Domain Name: WORKGROUP # if connect to Windows
