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.

Hi Nixie,
It was very tutorial but i wonder if you work on other linux flavors. I used to work with RedHat flavor since 2002. It was my graduation project to make a mixed network between Windows and Linux. Samba server it was the most exciting server in that network infrastructure. I am almost forget all about open souce community because of a career change. I work now mainly on Windows platform. Thanks to bring me back all good memories. Keep up and good luck.

I have never touched a real woman….. (with arms) Thank you so much for relieving the pressure, showing me how to use ubuntu to better effect.
@pupERaver I get “unrecognized service” for those first two.
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?

Thanks to your clear details, you saved my day
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…
Beautiful outfit. You’re definitely my favorite nerd
To bad I don’t date people who use Ubuntu.
oh, thats a grrrreat example of womanhood!
hey update on service’s
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart stop restart will not work on ubuntu 10.4
try using
sudo service smb restart , sudo service samba restart or sudo service smbd restart.
found this out the hard way when using webmin you get ( Access control violation : /etc/init.d/samba/ start failed…..
hope that helps
ewww
Thanks my clever and nice girl
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.
