Once its installed – I need another thing installing – so do this
sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin
And then run this command
sudo smbpasswd -a pi
You will be asked to enter the pi password twice – use raspberry as the password if you wish. I've chosen something else.
Finally use:
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
#======================= Global Settings =======================
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = mypi server
netbios name = mypi
dns proxy = no
#### Debugging/Accounting ####
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
####### Authentication #######
security = user
map to guest = pi
#======================= Share Definitions =======================
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
writeable = yes
guest account = pi
[public]
path = /
guest ok = yes
guest account = ftp
browseable = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
writeable = yes
admin users = everyone
And copy and paste the following to replace the existing file contents (as good practice first copy the file. If something goes wrong, I can always revert to the original version...)
Finally issue the following command:
sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart:
My Pi can now be accessed as "\\mypi" from any windows machine on the same LAN.
Let's verify that. Issue the command /mypi on any explorer windows. It starts by asking for the password that i defined above:
After issuing the password, I've now access to the folders that I gave access to in the script above:
Here it is. The folder with the latest Andreas Scholl CD, my favourite Contratenor...lol
I can use all the information on the Pi as if I'm locally on a windows machine.
And that's that.
I can also access my Pi folders from my Galaxy Tab (Android OS). For that I use the APP AndSMB. It's going to be handy when I create my Pi-NAS...
Happy hacking. You don’t learn to hack – you hack to learn…
