Install SAMBA Server on Ubuntu Server with the following command:
sudo apt-get install samba smbfs
Next, we need to set up the share in /etc/samba/smb.conf:
[global]
hosts allow 192.168.0 #allows everyone in my house to access all the shares
[share]
comment = My Test Share
writeable = no
locking = no
path = /share/
public = yes
Next we need to add smb users, which are already existing users on the linux box:
sudo adduser joe
sudo smbpasswd joe
Finally, (re)start the server:
sudo /etc/init.d/samba start|restart
