We describe here how to share folder in ubuntu within Samba:

• host : ubuntu

• host ip : 10.10.3.52

• Edit “smb.conf”

  sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

• Add following :

  [myshared] path = /home/witr/myFolder available = yes valid users = witr read only = no guest ok = no browsable = yes public = yes writable = yes

• Restart samba:

  sudo service smbd restart

• In windows, mount new drive :
  a. choose drive letter,
  b. select network->ubuntu->myshared or type \10.10.3.52myshared
  c. when request user and password, use one of valid users (here witr)
