Thursday, February 7, 2013
It's very simple to build a File Server on Linux for either Windows or Linux. All you need to do is install necessary package. In this post I will show you how to build a File Server on Linux using Samba.

Step 1: install Samba

sudo apt-get install samba

Step 2: Edit installed file (/etc/samba/smb.conf) and  restart service

passdb backend = smbpasswd

Step 3: add user into database

sudo smbpasswd -a itbox4vn

Step 4: Configure shared Folder (/etc/samba/smb.conf)

[Public Folder]
comment = Tai Lieu Chung
path = /home/itbox4vn/Shared
public = yes
writable = yes

Step 5: Add permission for shared folder and restart service

chmod -R 777 /home/itbox4vn/Shared

Have fun!
