# Samba

Using command line tools requires two separate operations:

* Partitioning the drive.
* Creating the file system(s).

GParted combines both of these into one coordinated interface.

![](/files/-MFAFe-Sl7dm0aotwrkE)

Select \<New>

Edit samba configuration (*/etc/samba/smb.conf*)

Change the path to the new partition or the path you want to share.

```
/etc/samba/smb.conf
```

An example of configuration is as below (i.e. the files part):

```
[global]  
workgroup = workgroup  
security = share  
encrypt password = yes  
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd  
show add printer wizard = No  
wins support = no

[files]  
path = /media/sdb1/files  
guest ok = yes  
read only = no  
available = yes  
browsable = yes  
public = yes  
writable = yes
```
