So I followed the guide, as you said. How do I check if those ports are
open? Is there a problem if SELinux is on? I think it is, not really sure.
About that linuxuser = windowsuser
I want to share files from my account, which is "blackline" in linux,
and the user on the windowscomputer is "Larsas", so then, should I write
"blackline = Larsas"?
yes it should be like this.
for adding the samba password for user blackline
smbpasswd -a blackline
How do I share files then, from the Linuxmachine? Where do I put files I
want to share?
After doing what you told me i entered "Show all computers in workgroup"
from Windows, there i saw "Larsas" and "Samba Server (Localhost)"
there are few examples given in /etc/samba/smb.conf how to share the files.
;[myshare]
; comment = Mary's and Fred's stuff
; path = /usr/somewhere/shared
; valid users = mary fred
; public = no
; writable = yes
; printable = no
; create mask = 0765
[public]
; path = /usr/somewhere/else/public
; public = yes
; only guest = yes
; writable = yes
; printable = no
Like this you can share the files.
Don't forget to check the configuration file with testparm and reload/restarting the smb service after making changes.
testparm
service smb reload
