SAMBA PROROCOL:

What is Samba ?

 It is mainly used for file sharing between two different Operating System.

For eg,

Linux – Windows

Windows – Linux

Advantage:

 Two way Sharing:

File sharing on Server to Client and Client to Server

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to use Samba protocol used for Linux?

Server machine steps: Linux Operating System

1. Set IP address for server machine

2. Create Repository
3. Install ‘Samba’ Package: samba ,samba-client
4. To create directory for Samba link
5. To give permissions for Samba link Directory
6. Samba Server Configuration :/etc/samba/smb.conf
7. Add Label value for Samba link Directory
8. Set user name and Password for Samba Account (its used for client access the
Server Host to give Username and Password)
9. Service :enable Samba service (smb,nmb) on Server machine
10.Firewall :add Samba(Samba) Service on Firewal

Client machine steps: Windows Operating System

1. Set IP address for client machine

 2. Open Run Cmd: \\Server IP address

 To take Linux Machine ( Server)

Step 1:Set IP address for server(Linux machine):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Syntax : [root@localhost /]# <nmtui>

Cmd : [root@localhost /]# nmtui

Select -> Edit and connection

Select ->Ethernet(eno) and Edit

Select ->IPv4 CONFIGURATION, and Change <Automatic> to <Manual>

Select -> <Show> IPv4 CONFIGURATION and Assign IP Addresses , Gateway,
DNS Servers and OK

Step 4 : To create Samba link directory

Syntax : [root@localhost /]# <mkdir> space </Samba link directory name>

Cmd : [root@localhost /]# mkdir Samba_dir

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 5:To give permissions for Samba link Directory

Syntax : [root@localhost /]# <chmod > space <777>space </Samba link directory
name>

Cmd : [root@localhost /]# chmod 777 /Samba_dir

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6 : Samba Server Configuration :/etc/samba/smb.conf

How toSamba link created on Server to Client Specified network?

 Samba configuration files are Default location in /etc/samba/smb.conf

Syntax : [root@localhost /]# <vim> space </etc/samba/smb.conf>

Cmd : [root@localhost /]# vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

This is vim Text Editor:

 First you have set line number

:set number

1 # This is the main Samba configuration file. For detailed information about the

2 # options listed here, refer to the smb.conf(5) manual page. Samba has a hug e

3 # number of configurable options, most of which are not shown in this exampl e.
