Hi everyone, I would like to configure Samba to share a folder with my other operating systems, windows11 and arch, although preferably it’s fine just between W11 and EOS.
I’m a newbie to linux, and to EOS. I tried to follow this guide here on the forum, but without success:
What I have at the moment is samba installed, a smb.conf file, which a friend wrote to me because I wasn’t able to create it, and I manually placed it in the /etc/samba folder.
I would basically like to have the Public folder (/home/username/Public) active so I can exchange files between the various operating systems.
Could you help me understand how to take it one step at a time, without me getting into trouble? XD
This is my smb.conf file:
[global]
........
# Configure correct UTP
unix charset = UTF-8
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will be part of
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server min protocol = NT1
ntlm auth = yes
netbios name = sermor-endeavourpc
security = user
#interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
bind interfaces only = yes
# add at the end
[Pubblici]
comment = EndeavourOS File Share
path = /home/sermor/Pubblici
browsable = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777
force user = nobody

A thousand thanks.
PS: the command in the guide I linked “sudo leafpad /etc/samba/smb.conf” doesn’t work for me, the terminal tells me leafpad command not found or something similar.
PPS: I have the firewall active, and I use firewalld, which I believe is what is installed by default when installing EOS.
