[SOLVED] simple samba question

[pshootr]

Running samba on ubuntu 8.10 (server) no gui

Where in the samba.conf file do I add the directory I want to share? Also how should the entry look? Thanks

[crwmike]

The Samba config file...

/etc/samba/smb.conf

There are instructions and sample in the file.

Here is a sample of one of mine...


[Documents on flatcat]
path = /home/crwmike/Documents
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

I seen an example only for cdrom in the smb.conf. I wasn' sure if I should go off of that though. Anyway thanks for your sample.

I used your example to make my entry, and tat worked like a charm. Thank you very much.
