2:25 - Terminal Setup - Smb.conf walkthrough
12:25 - Enabling SMB 1.0 in Windows
14:37 - Verifying Shares and Access
Below is my Samba Cheat-Sheet I created
Install Samba:
sudo apt install samba -y
Stop Samba Service:
sudo systemctl stop smbd
Create new directory to share:
mkdir linuxshare
Create New /etc/samba/smb.conf
In [global] tag add or change the folowing lines:
server role = standalone server
map to guest = bad user
usershare allow guests = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0
Add new tag at the end:
[linuxsharename]
comment = Open Linux Share
path = /home/titus/linuxshare
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force create mode = 0755
force user = titus
force group = titus
TEST SETTINGS Type: testparm
Restart Samba Service
sudo systemctl enable smbd
sudo systemctl start smbd
OPTIONAL: Allow samba through firewall
RHEL/Centos/Fedora
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=samba
Debian/Ubuntu/Mint
sudo ufw allow Samba
Now on any Windows Machines enable windows feature "SMB 1.0"
