SAMBA acts as public share in read/write mode

 

Install Samba

$ apt-get clean

$apt-get update

$ apt-get upgrade

$ apt-get install samba smbclient

Create the share

$ mkdir /SAMBA/Public

$ chmod 0777 /SAMBA/Public

$ chown -R nobody:nogroup /SAMBA/Public

N.B. In this case I chose /SAMBA/Public but you could use any other path.

Configure Samba

$ mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.ORIG

$ nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]

   workgroup = WORKGROUP

   server string = Samba Server %v on %h

   netbios name = FILESERVER

   security = user

   map to guest = bad user

   name resolve order = bcast host

   dns proxy = no

   bind interfaces only = yes

[Public]

   path = /SAMBA/Public

   writable = yes

   guest ok = yes

   guest only = yes

   read only = no

   create mode = 0777

   directory mode = 0777

   force user = nobody

All this parameters depend on your scenario.

• Your workgroup name

workgroup = WORKGROUP

• Server name how it appears on your network

netbios name = FILESERVER

• Share name

[Public] 

• Path where files are going to store in accord where you created the folder

path = /SAMBA/Public

Testing smb.conf

$ testparm

Restart Samba

$ systemctl restart smbd

Testing Samba from inside server

$ smbclient -N -L 127.0.0.1

$ smbclient -N -L ‘hostname’  [hostname is the name of the host]

Testing Samba from inside Windows

$ net view ‘ip_server’  [ip_server is the ip of the server]
