SAMBA SERVER

SAMBA SERVER

Samba Server is one of the powerful servers that helps you to share files and printers with Windows-based and other operating systems. It is an open-source implementation of the Server Message Block/Common Internet File System (SMB/CIFS) protocols.

Lets configure the samba in server side

Samba Server Side configuration

Step 1:

server ip:192.168.1.143


installing the samba
# yum install samba

for creating public directory
# mkdir /public  
# mkdir /private 

to check the permissions and set into enable
# getenforce

give the files to all permissions
# chmod 777/public
# chmod 777/private

for checking the permissions
# ls -ldZ /public  
# ls -ldZ /private 

Step 2:

add the new users account

# useradd samba1
# useradd samba2

configuration file path.
# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf  
Add this entry in configuration file at the end

[global]
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        netbios name = centos
        security = user

[Public]
        comment = Public File Server Share
        path = /public
        browsable =yes
        writable = yes
        public =yes

[Private]
        comment = Private File Server Share
        path = /private
        browsable =yes
        valid users = samba1 samba2 samba3
        writelist = samba1 samba 3

save it with :wq

set samba password
# smbpasswd -a samba1   
#smbpasswd -a samba2   

Step 3:

check configuration
#testparm 

Client Side Configuration

Step 1:

install the samba client 

# yum install samba-client

# yum install cifs-utils

# smb smbclient -L 192.168.1.143

restart the services
# systemctl restart smb.service
# systemctl restart nmb.service

go to root directory
# cd /

for mounting
# mkdir mntsamba  
# mkdir mntsamba1 

Step 2:

mounting the public directory of server to client mntsamba directory

#mount -o guest//192.168.1.143/public /mntsamba 

mouting the private directory to client  
#mount -o samba1 //192.168.1.143 /private /mntsamba1

now try to create a file in the mounted directory of client and the reflection of that file will be shown in the server public directory.
