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.

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
