Setting up Simple Samba File Shares
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2020
- Sometimes, you just want to share files with colleagues quickly without worrying about permissions. In this tutorial, I go over the process of creating shares for your home or small business network that are wide-open and writable for all. This isn't for sharing protected or confidential files, but will get you up and running with a shared folder or two that's accessible by all.

Наука
As a real Linux newbie, I learnt a lot from this video whilst experimenting with a Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu Server. Time to start watching the rest of your Linux videos in 2024. Thank you and a Happy New Year.
For those who struggle to see the Samba server in Windows. Windows doesn't support NetBIOS discovery anymore and Samba out-of-the-box relies on that. You have to install wsdd on the machine running Samba (For Debian-based distros "apt install wsdd"), after that, the files/folders set up in Samba will be discoverable by the Windows machine.
Might that work for getting a Debian 12 client to see Ubuntu Server 22.04? Failed to retrieve share file list from server or directory. Newbie and been over everything numerous times.
OMG, hours trying to figure this out and this worked. Thank you so much!
Wow ! Not just spitting out instructions but also a brief explanation of the instruction.
A foreign concept to most people that believe they are making tutorial videos.
If it's not working for Windows10 try this:
. Click and open the Search Bar in Windows 10
Type Windows Features in the search bar
Double Click Turn Windows Features off and On
2. Scroll down to SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support
3. Check the box net to SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support and all other child boxes will auto populate
After you do this you'll have to reboot.
For more clarity try searching "SMB win10 features" to learn how to enable it more in-depth.
I’ve been scouring RUclips for a video like this, I’ve watched countless videos only to find myself with errors or not working properly. FINALLY YOUR VIDEO SO DETAILED DOESNT SKIP A BEAT. Thank you 🙏
I know this video is 2 years old but your videos just rock man. I followed your Arch install along some years ago and am not disappointed with this one either. Superb and concise.
Worked for me thanks!
I've seen a few of these and this one ranks up there. Thanks for the help. I'd love to see a more advance video on Samba sharing if you have the time to put something together for us.
Gday Jay, your video has to one of the easiest ones to understand and follow with regards to Samba setups. It got me back up and running in no time. Also slowly going through your Linux tutorials, which has helped with mounting drives and understanding permissions. Cheers
Thanks Jay for this great tutorial. I set up my very first samba server today with your help. The mistake I made in typo, used shares instead of share in config file. It took me little time to figure it out. Now I can see content on my other device. Thanks a lot
I think that is my mistake let me see why its not working
Great video. Are you planning to make a video for "not so simple" file shares too?
Thanks man I can't tell you how much searching I did to get this to work before coming across your video, now it's working perfectly.
Thank you for making this video. I'm a newer Linux user, and haven't been able to find a way to successfully make Samba function, until now!
I followed this tutorial at least 10 times and every time I got access tonight or something different. I finally just used putty to SSH into the VM, and copied and paste everything from your tutorial and it worked
Thanks so much, I've been trying to do this exact thing for the last week and the other videos or web pages with instructions I found never worked for me, this did first time, thanks again. I'm subscribing and see what else I can learn.
Thanks Jay! Please make a video on samba sever with user name and password.
Thank you, Jay! This video pushed me to buy your Ubuntu Server book.
Your channel is one of my favorites.
this actually works. Not a given in RUclips. Clear and concise. Subscribed, thanks man.
Understood the concept very clearly, thanks for the detailed and informative explanation, please keep posting such linux videos, these are very helpful and informative
For use in a demo for my master's degree on big data I'll use some Samba shares, and even I have used Samba before (and have the Carter, Ts & Eckstein "Using Samba" book), this was the fastest way to create public shares that I found that works. THANKS, MAN, THANKS
Windows 10 users, pay attention to the last few minutes of the video. If you don't see the shares in Windows file explorer, you need to enter your Linux box's IP address in the file explorer search bar.
Secondly, there are steps that are different and/or missing from the Wiki page for this video. Otherwise, excellent video.
Ok... and where do I ffind this IP address?
@@michaelbraunermost of the time it’ll be your host servers IP. so if you type “ip a” on your linux machine, just harvest the interface IP you are currently using and that’ll be your smb server ip
thank you very much I was confused
Thank you sir I copied Open Meadia Vault config, some times it works some times it don't. Exactly follow your tutorial, and smb works every time, even with an ntfs share. Great stuff
I have watched at least 20 times ...Love to learn from you. At last did experiment creating samba server.
First time I got a samba server working reliably. Thanks Jay
samba is kind of complicated but you made it much easier to understand and implement, thanks.
I had to allow samba through my Ubuntu server's firewall to see it on my Windows 10 machine.
The command I used:
sudo ufw allow samba
Thanks friend.
Hey man, THANKS ! U literally just saved my life with this tutorial ! Keep up with the great job !
This is one of the best videos about SAMBA I ever watched, thanks a lot!
I don't know if it's an older version of samba on the video but the service is 'smb' not 'smbd', for those who didn't get this working by copying exactly from this video.
Thanks, works awesomely. Other guides wasted my time trying to figure it out.
Great explanation and example. Very straightforward
Worked first try. Thank you so much
Thanks much. Clearly said, best vid on the topic!; works with Odroid XU4 linux 20 and Win10 ver 1909. Sonos users should to add the line "ntlm auth = yes" in the [global] to make the share visible. Also for Linux 20 add server min protocol = NT1 ... to make it work.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! I've followed it and it works perfectly for the local drive however I'm having no luck with a USB external drive share.
great tutorial. works great with next to no modification. made this a lot easier than it needed to be and I learned some things as well :)
This was the video I have been waiting for. I use arch and it has been a challenge to get samba share with a mycloud 4tb storage.
Very well done. I can share all content.
I landed on this page because I want to setup a file share in my lab that my students can use to upload their work files too large for the school servers. Honestly, this is the clearest explanation to Samba shares I've ever seen. There are a lot of garbage videos claiming tutorial status but none comes close. That said, I find Samba and Linux tedious and unnecessarily difficult for such a simple task of sharing a folder. I cannot believe that after all these years, Linux still don't have a decent native file share option. This is one of the many reasons why Windows and Mac will always remain superior to Linux. It only took a few clicks of the mouse in Windows and I had a share folder my kids could use. Yes, I know about the 20 user concurrent connection limit, but I'd rather deal with that than learn a new language just to create a simple share. Thanks for the video. I've shared it with my students, so if one of them wants to go this route.
" I cannot believe that after all these years, Linux still don't have a decent native file share option." On most modern linux distros, like Mint, you can just right click on the folder you want to share and select "sharing options" not sure how you missed this... did you even try new distros before making assertions like this?
GREAT TUTORIAL! I keep coming back to this every time I break my server :P One error I wanted to mention if other get it is not being to chown (change owner) of the share folder, this happened to me and apparently it's caused by the format of the drive itself, in this case it was Vfat. So if you're getting this error, it might be worth to check out.
Thank you for the video! very clear and detailed explanation
Thanks so much for this. Not sure why I was directed by Google to tens of sites with completely inaccurate or outdated instructions before I found you. There is so much incorrect information about this topic. Also not sure why this process is so much more involved than it used to be. Back in 2008 I used to build samba office servers and the process of setting up shares was much more straight forward. It was a long time ago and I stopped using Linux in 2010, but as I recall it was just install SMB samba and system-config-samba and then edit samba.conf and add the user to samba group. Then you were done. What happened?
Once again thanks so much for the very detailed instructions. Clear voice and instructions. Really helpful.
Very helpful, useful video - Thanks so much for sharing
very clear explanation works perfectly
Awesome - you made it so easy! Thanks.
fantastic walk through. thank you
Absolutely outstanding work! CompTIA Linux+ is on my wishlist. I might have to sit down and watch every video you've ever made. Thank you.
I like this because this makes it much easier to change it into a more complex setup after one succeeds in getting it to work. Thank you so much (Keeping it Simple and Stupid on the first steps )
you don't know how much time you saved me 😭 Thankyou
Still works well on Debian 11 (Bullseye) in late 2021. My physical disk is a ZFS Mirrored Pool.
This helped allot. Thanks for the step by step
Awesome video! Helped me a ton!
Great class. Thanks!!!
Fantastic guide. Thank you!
Really great video. Thanks a bunch.
Thank you! Everything works great!
Very good video. I use sshfs for most everything now though, whether home network or remote access to it.
Thank you. You make Samba easy.
Very good guide, thank you!
Yes, absolutely! Thank you!
It works!!! Thank you very much.
VERY GOOD tutorial, thank's!
There is basically no one else who is as great as you as a teacher so your guidance are much appreciated! Having said that, is there any chance these videos could come in newer versions so the content could reflect the latest version of these services?
Thank you, that helped a lot. Worked 1st time.
Great. Learnt a lot thank you.
This is great. Now i can access my backup files from my proxmox server to save them in my cloud so i have multiple copies. Thanks
outstanding explanation, thank you.
This was very helpful.
Excellent video,,, clear precise with a link to a created wiki... very professional touch.... earned my sub-channel
Very useful, thank you 😊
Great video. Well done.
Thank you very much! Awesome video. Had to watch it twice, but learned so much. Where can I go to get the links for the data?
thank you very much! very helpful!
Anyone know how to actually put some files in the Protected Files location? No matter what user I'm logged in as, I get permission denied.
thank you its helped me a lot.
Great video, had to say thanks!
great job - very clear & understandable - thank you - oldtony
Thank you Mr. Jay.
Excellent ... Thanks a lot!
Thank you! I wanted a way to locally backup my steam games and re download them faster when I need them.
Jay you are my hero, keep it up dude 👌👌
I'm a beginner web developer who designs my web pages on my Windows 10 desktop. I'm implementing samba so that I can work on my web pages with my Ubuntu 20.04 notebook. So, I want to be able to transfer files from my Windows 10 desktop, to my Ubuntu 20.04 notebook. I followed all of the steps in this video, it works fine on my Ubuntu notebook, but, I still cannot see it from my Windows 10 desktop. I've never found a single tutorial video, that is reliable in explaining how to troubleshoot this issue.
Earned a new sub. Great video!
thanks for helping us.
Thanks for the video
I have setup samba share and one of the option is "force directory mode = 2770". All the shares are working perfect . You set value the to 0770 what is the difference. ?
Thanks you so much!!!.
Great video!
thanks for the video
Thank you for the video. Can an existing folder be shared the same way as in the video and just change the group and owner to that existing folder?
I did set this up, and it works just fine for what I do, does anyone know how to add an extra HDD to your SAMBA server? I can not find a good tutorial on how to make your shares as big as you want. Thanks.
Thank you very much.can do a video on Samba active directory ?
Hi Jay, I could not get this to work on an Ubuntu server server running within a Proxmox container (even with a privileged container), although it did work when I tried it on a stand-alone desktop running Linux Mint. Your Linux tutorials are the best on RUclips. As a thank-you, I will buy your Ubuntu Server Book! Thanks Jay!
Is this why I cant get this nonsense to work? Im running it in VirtualBox just to test it and no matter what I do nothing works.
Have a look at this video - he demonstrates the process with VirtualBox, like you are using.
ruclips.net/video/GAev1TbOhNY/видео.html
As always, thank you, Jay.
My pleasure!
thanks.. been searching for how to add multiple folders..
I need users to be able to add but not modify the current files, except for what they have added. In Windows what I did was give full control to the Creator Owner group, what should I change in the .config? thanks for the video
Thank you.
Great video as always, though it leaves me curious as to how this differs from making a "Local Network Share" using the "file explorer" ?? What, if anything, is different ??
Best regards.
Very helpful
Thank you👍🏻
Brilliant, life saver. I did have a problem seeing the server and then bam suddely it all appeared - is there a propogation delay, I wouldn't have thought so. Anyway next step...
Been using VCL for my network streaming. Hope this is better.
Thanks it helps me :D
