#SAMBA SERVER HOW TO#
The following documentation describes how to set up a Samba standalone server providing: In small networks, such as a home network, or to share folders on a host that is not part of a domain, you often do not want to set up an Active Directory or NT4 domain.
#SAMBA SERVER INSTALL#
That brings us to the end of our tutorial on how to easily install and configure Samba File Server on Ubuntu 22.04. How to Access Samba Share on Linux and Windows Systems To learn how to access SMB share from various clients, follow the guide below To allow remote access to Samba from a specific network ufw allow from 192.168.59.0/24 to any app Samba Accessing SMB Shares from Clients Valid users = case of any error, fix it before you can proceed.Ĭreate test files/folders on the shares mkdir /smb-private/demofolder-priv /smb-public/demofolder-pub touch /smb-private/demofile-priv /smb-public/demofile-pub Allow Remote Access to Samba

Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions Sample output Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf You can simply execute it as follows: testparm
#SAMBA SERVER UPDATE#
It is recommended that you verify the Samba configuration each time you update the /etc/samba/smb.conf file using the testparm utility
#SAMBA SERVER PASSWORD#
useradd -M -s /sbin/nologin demouserĪdd the user to the smbinternal group usermod -aG smbinternal demouserĬreate SMB password for the user smbpasswd -a demouserĮnable the Samba account: smbpasswd -e demouser Verifying the Samba configuration Next, create local accounts for the users you would like to give access to the private share. This makes the new files/folders created to inherit the group of the parent directory instead setting it to the users primary group. Set the permissions of the directory chmod 2770 /smb-private/ chmod 2775 /smb-public groupadd smbinternal Update the permissions of the SharesĬhange the group of the shared private directory chgrp -R smbinternal /smb-private/ chgrp -R smbinternal /smb-public Therefore, let us create an smbinternal group and add specific users to this group to allow access to the private share. The above Private share will only allow users of the smbinternal group to access the share. Public Share ConfigurationĮxample public share configurations. We will set the public share as publicly accessible and private one will require authentication to access it. In above, we created two directories, a public and a private one. Hence, at the end of the Samba configuration file, add the share name and the configuration options. Configure file or printer sharingįor now, we will only be configuring file sharing. Ĭonsult man smb.conf for a description of the configuration options used. Passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully*. Panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d Server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu) Open the Samba configuration file for editing vim /etc/samba/smb.conf Global Samba configuration optionsīelow is our global Samba configuration, with comment lines removed. Configure Samba File Server on Ubuntu 22.04 We will allow public access to the public folder and a few users to access the private folder. You can create a public or a private shared folders.įor example, we use /smb -public and /smb-private as our shared directories in this setup. Create a Shared Directory/FolderĬreate a directory where you will place files to be shared. This means that Samba is not configured as a member of any directory service and thus, local system database will be used for authenticating users to access shared files. As already stated, in this setup, we will run Samba as a standalone file server on Ubuntu 22.04. Once the Samba package is installed, proceed to configure Samba file server on Ubuntu 22.04. To easily install and configure Samba File Server on Ubuntu 22.04, you first need to install Samba packages by running the commands below apt update apt install samba smbclient cifs-utils Configure Samba File Server on Ubuntu 22.04
