Setting up File Sharing Between Windows, Linux, and Macs with Samba!

[holec0591]

Awesome video! I have a few questions.

I have a couple hard drives that I want to share through samba.

I'm a total noob with linux btw.

So i have a sata hdd 100gb for my os (ubuntu)

I have a 2tb hdd for media (movies)

I have a 1tb hdd for music

How do I add these other hard drives to my samba.

when you do mkdir, im not too sure what to put lol.

Could u help me out?

[sakoudas]

Hot girl and linux! Please marry me!

[MrKurtdriver]

Why not nfs?Samba is Windows software.

[starsiegeplayer]

@MrKurtdriver Samba is not Windows software.

[kiddragos]

...u gave me a boner

[KIKLOP27]

i love sexy girls which wants to learn technical things this is so sexy !!!! :P kiss from Zagreb :O

[sachinabey]

Is the server name absolutely necessary? I mean I dont think I have a servername in my network, just a workgroup.

Thanks,

Sachin

[michielofthemorning]

Thank you for making this video tutorial, works like a charm! Finally somebody who understands what I want and failed to do in the past 2 years. To (re)start samba i had to use "sudo start smbd" though. Probably changed over the years.

[Shakeitupyes]

OMG She's so hot! she's wrong though. Samba doesn't work to share files. :((( I installed samba on Ubuntu 11.10 and it can't access my windows shares. My windows machines can access the windows shares but can't access my Ubuntu shares. Samba kinda sucks.. anyways.. she has a sexy voice :O

[novachevyguy]

@Shakeitupyes then ur dumb

[Shakeitupyes]

@novachevyguy This coming from someone who can't even spell "you're" properly. I'm so highly offended by what you said to me, you are clearly so much more superior in knowledge and intellect than myself. Wow.

[novachevyguy]

@Shakeitupyes that's right, I am.. There! Did I spell everything all good and nice that time?

[Avonidsed]

@Shakeitupyes What happens when you try to access Windows/. What version of Windows? Any error messages? Inbox me if you wish

[starsiegeplayer]

@Shakeitupyes Maybe it's due to your firewall settings? I have successfully done it.

[PhilhellenicAgori]

you just gave me a happy fun time in my pants

[Tha1337king]

I have a linux, which means i get laid as often as i have to reboot my computer...

[dhunsyam90]

thanks ur helpful and fit :) xx

[Blaasterification]

damn youp*rn is calling me now.

[kadmany]

I quit CS,what this female thing capabilities?

[4ddavis2]

Hi, I'm really new to this, I'm a little uncertain about what to do for the netbios = servername part, how do I know what my servername is? If anyone could help I would really appreciate it. Thanks!



[MrSnipestech]

Smart girl !

[viknyc]

Wait, what are we talking about again? X)

[henceqed]

Sweetling, if I saw you at a club come up to me looking like you were about to flirt with me, as soon as you opened that cotton candy mouth of yours, I'd be looking up on my phone for wedding rings to propose to you.

You are the epitome of what I would like to spend the rest of my life with!

[70rm3n70r]

O_O

[a3h]

Goodie! Now how can I get the Linux machine to see the Mac HDD? o_O

[NewsPulse]

Lady, do you know you are hot?

90% of hits on video are due to your video's thumbnail.

[Kthelis]

Instead of using the mentioned programs you could try Team Viewer through Team viewer you can even control the other computer (linux windows and mac)

[Arceusdude222]

Samba was originally designed to take advantage of the Windows SMB share, just a little tidbit for you all.

[jameszip9yahoocom]

ok..i know I'm a noob with linux...but wtf..

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree

Reading state information... Done

samba is already the newest version.

The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: linux-headers-2.6.38-8 linux-headers-2.6.38-8-generic

Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

What does this mean? Do I have it?

[jameszip9yahoocom]

@jameszip9yahoocom nvm figured it out. XD!

[korne2ta]

@jameszip9yahoocom

yep. exactly. "samba is already the newest version" everything is written

[necopost]

@jameszip9yahoocom If you are using Ubuntu. Just open the file manager (Nautilus), right on the folder containing the files you want to share, click on Sharing Options.

[SillieWous]

or make a shared partition

[cermi1]

sudo service smbd restart

sudo service nmbd restart

this is the command you need to use in 11.04

[JonHeckendorf]

You, funny girl!! Keep it a going too!!

[tumbler999]

Nixie Pixel is my Linux Guru

[tedescucci]

Just a heads for anyone that reads the comments. Did (basically) this (using the GUI) in LinuxMint11, there are a few things you'd expect to see (Sharing Options in the right-click menu or a Sharing tab in the properties window)... They're just not there (IME), but the share WILL be working. Finally figured out that it was working when I checked it out of frustration (sharing videos to my xbox running XBMC).

So, yeah. There you go... was frustrating the hell out of me for a while there.

[p7272]

Whats up with the big 80's fake lashes

[p7272]

Is your day job in IT?

[owenmatt435]

She's so pretty.

[ashinms]

God, you people are horny... You act like you've never seen a female before

[TehSchwartz]

@ashinms Whats a female?

[StormTheGamer]

@TehSchwartz that's one of those without penis

[GovGoose]

@TehSchwartz You mean "What's".

[Lovelypovely]

@ashinms

I´ve never seen a female using Linux before!

[ashinms]

@Lovelypovely Too true. Can't argue with that.

[MorkaGraven]

@ashinms It's nerd candy...

[Vortex93]

@ashinms Well i have never seen one that is a nerd and hot :)

[JustWickedSwede]

@Vortex93 All nerds are hot O_o

[Vortex93]

@JustWickedSwede Well i have never seen a girl that is nerd :) ..

[BassZanval]

@ashinms well its a channel for nerds...most nerds havent if i look around at my university...

just too sad they have to shout it out everywhere

[Benzedirk2012]

people are nerds @ashinms

[jimmayl1]

You don't need that much makeup!

[Gen1us2k]

please be my wife :-[

[00011theman]

sudo -i marry | pixie

[theonering93]

lol everyone keeps asking her to marry them. Don't you guys know that you have to put sudo in front of any request?!?!

[shortandbald]

nixie, your a smart cookie, well done

[cuntdrac]

as soon linux is in the game of sharing files, possibilities are endless..

[MrDemilord]

sudo chown -R demilord /home/nixie

[dr07828]

I have a good one for you Nixie... mount a windows share, or any other SMB share, to you linux machine. By default you cannot do this.

[RalenSanis]

chmod +X NixiePixel

And this video was awesome. Nice for newbs.

[OrlandoStarCleaning]

Damn you are so good !!!

I thought that only guys like me know those things and not sexy girls like you!

I am smarter than that but still you are above most girls :)

lol

[Vevusio]

don't you think it would make more sense to zoom in on the shell instead of having this almost-unreadable text and blend in the commands at the bottom?

[dark3zz]

why i would do such low security filesharing on linux? windows right click: share it, done! bring more advanced tuts...this one here is for crap

[djaa2807]

Sexy Geek

[enricokorderos]

How do I make it so that every directory I create within this shared one automatically has the same permissions set?

[KoeniggseggCCX]

The Linux Princess =P

[ABehrooz]

@Ohcommyway:how about chown NixiePixel $USERNAME & #or maybe a NFS Share?

[Ohcomemyway]

sudo chown NixiePixel ohcomemyway

[marktindal2186]

Nice vid thx gorgeous. I've only just installed my first Linux OS (Ubuntu) and this is real useful!

[jkbasa34]

i haVE WINDOWS 7 WHEN SOMEONE DOWNLOADS SOMETHING IT APPEARS AS A SHORT CUT ON MY DESKTOP AND I HAVE AN ADMIN.NEED HELP TO SHUT OFF SHARING

[manndtp]

Love when you talk Linux 8)

[niqqadarshpolice]

the sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart doesnt work???

command not found?

[TomAlvee]

Hey I'm confused, What was attracted to the tutorial or you..lol

[projectivemotion]

what a nerd lol

[TechSupportx86]

I like Ubuntu 10.10 Server 32-bit for my server (Cause my hardware sucks). I have it setup similar, however i have a headless server and share entire drives (also the USB ports, and the "Computer" directory). Quick and easy to work with (Windows 7 and SSH) One thing to note on setting up a headless server, you will need to edit fstab to mount your drives each boot, and edit the network config for a static IP.

Not only is it open source, it's a cool weekend project :D

[kaiba1977]

i'M ALWAYS Suck @ Remembering commands

[SupremeCoalition]

thanks! worked like a charm

[PRM2643]

Nixie, you got any ideas on getting Ubuntu 10.10 running on a dell optiplex gx 60 with the crappy intel video chip? I 've tried all kind of things. Maybe If I just set it up to boot in the same safe graphics mode the installer uses.. The Low budget intel chip can't handle the kernel & the whole GUI crashes with 10.10 on this box and others with these intel ( crappy) video chips.

[Turbo8499]

@PRM2643 Have you tried the XUbuntu release? It does not require much of the hardware and runs perfectly on slow/old computers.

[066thugz]

holly shittt, i got a boner from 4:24. lol just kidding, this babe is hotter then lava

[Spartreeman]

Hi Nixie: Does this work when using VBox? I have a Mac host with Linux guest

[themooseOFpower]

hello i tried to share some files today i carefully inserted the files into the small holes on the back of the monitor but they are not appearing on the screen can you please help. i just want to send some files to yogi bear

[jestemashok]

thanks for the video..

[tunkusingha007]

hey..i am very new to linux..can i add you in facebook or in orkut so that i can post my queries directly..thank you

[TOTORIALSFOROLDPEEPS]

@tunkusingha007 smooth...

[TheHipfixer]

How did such a gorgeous woman end up playing with linux. Talented, pretty, and smart.....thanks for sharing this with us! I'm a total newb learning to make this all work....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! And kubuntu users will want to know that its kate to edit.

[TheHipfixer]

[jimbo80982]

i have a question. You know you are using ubuntu there? well , can you use any distro? say i wanted to use freedos , is that possible?

because to me it just seems like an unpack job

[SAMY2690]

how about sharing internet connection i have vista ultimte in my home computer and linux 10 in my laptop so how i share the internet connection between them with cabels (not wifi)

[hsapley]

Nixie- I am a SUPER NEWB. Things seemed to be going ok.

...start: Job failed to start

Processing triggers for libc-bin ...

ldconfig deferred processing now taking place

hsapley@hsapley-T5062:~$ sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf_defaulthsa­pley@hsapley-T5062:~$ sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

hsapley@hsapley-T5062:~$ sudo mkdir /myshare

hsapley@hsapley-T5062:~$ sudo chmod 0777 /myshare

hsapley@hsapley-T5062:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found

[benmould4185]

hey hows it going, loved the video. had a bit of trouble though. i am running mint so that might be the problem. the last two command lines did not work. sudo chmod 0777 /myshare and ben@ben-laptop ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart. after i hit enter on the chmond line it did not ask me again for a password and after the restart command it told me it was an invalid command line. just wondering if you had any ideas? thanks a bunch!

[man0070]

hey there, i did a similar thing with open suse, i would love to get an opinion on it if possible??? as you sound as though u have more experience with samba servers than i do lol,

watch?v=Nu2RNJ7_VcE

all in all, great tutorial, very clear directions. well done. :)

[25esky]

Thanks for the video. You rock!

[generalludd]

Loved the save point joke!

[davegtan]

hi guys try this application called "drop box" it allows you to share and transfer files with friends for free! Its like an online USB.

follow or type this link without space to register and enjoy free sharing storage!

db.tt / jO8QScf

[zinadork]

@davegtan Nice way to rack up referral credits.

[squarepusher303]

you are so loving attention from nerds aren't you haha

[Spiratech]

Is there a way to see my 360 hard drive on the network, i am using ushare. I also have samba... but idk if it needs to be used for this

[gemini9025]

Thank you! Ehh but there are still no drivers for my printer. DAMN YOU LEXMARK!

[DarkgeneralFTB]

I'm Trying To Figure Out How To View My Windows 7 Files In Ubuntu 10.10...I Have Ubuntu Installed Inside W7...Any Help Would Be Great!

I Love Ubuntu, Just Kinda A Linux Noob!

[duminicad]

thumbs up if you're here 'coz of the hot babe (:

[michaelterry1000]

I’d love to have 777 permissions with her.

[novachevyguy]

@michaelterry1000 sudo mkdir /nopants && autoremove panties

[shouldnotseeme]

@michaelterry1000 777? really? why would you want to share any kind of access to her with a group and others? Ok, I think we just went full nerd...

[michaelterry1000]

@shouldnotseeme Ok, you got me. your comment was more cleaver than mine.

[shouldnotseeme]

@michaelterry1000 Just kidding, I gave your comment Thumbs up :P

[jontehgeek1]

@shouldnotseeme Maybe he's into group interactions... ;D

[DaFakaMatt]

@shouldnotseeme Thats why I would use the chmod command and the chgrp command, make both the groups yourself and the owner yourself and other people nothing so make it 770 haha :P I'm kidding :) awesome vid girl :)

[xeemo]

@michaelterry1000 You don't mind all the other people getting in on the action?

[ashboxtoo]

@michaelterry1000 BEST COMMENT OF ALL TIME MAN!

[DaFakaMatt]

@michaelterry1000 NO, this is own you'd do it if you wanted good permissions:

sudo -s

chown michaelterry1000 NixiePixel/*

chmod -R 700 NixiePixel/*

su michaelterry1000

Win.

[ujoronen]

@michaelterry1000 You wanna execute her???  Sheesh! Perhaps you meant 766... ;)

[gkaio]

@michaelterry1000 hum...better is 700 permissions with her! ;)

[brickmastertube]

@michaelterry1000

Unless you're into gangbangs you probably meant something more like 700.

[coquita1234]

@brickmastertube i hope u guys are just messing around about not understanding the 777 joke...

:/

[SilentPeat00]

@coquita1234 7777777 all is said

[Truth128]

@michaelterry1000, hey, I really laughed after reading your comment.

[fabiofloripa159]

I am trying to share Lubuntu and windows. I installed samba and configure but the problem is: how can I "see" the windows network? there no such thing as places/network on lubuntu..

I had been a beginner for over a year.. I guess I need a brain upgrade.

[relm1200]

[TechSupportx86]

I made my own little file server with some old computers parts and hard drives. Installed Ubuntu 9.10 and used (obviously) samba. I used older IDE hard drives, the largest being 160GB (160, 80, 80, 60, 6<boot), using an IDE/SATA Raid card. Works perfectly. I can stream my entire music collection to iTunes, watch video from it, upload and download files from all my Ubuntu and Windows 7 Computers. Also shares my Printers on the network, which is REALLY nice. It's a great weekend project.

[Jamieduk999]

how can i make my own distro from files from my hdd to share my current aperance settings etc any ideas? i want it to incude all my updates and apt-gets and compiz fusion etc minus the private files like pics music etc ? help please :d

[phonebooth19]

Haha, this is the best humor ever :D

[iwillflagurvids]

4:22 LOL

[Jamieduk999]

wow very good video also can u help me with apache on linux mint

i have it installed with mysql but i need to use port 2010 not default 80 as my isp blocks port 80 traffic coming from my apache2 any ideas for how i can do this (iu have edited files but none of it worked even after restarting). plz help you make sense with your videos unlike some other linux geniuses:P

[PlatypuSPawn]

Thank you so much Nixie, I tell all my friends about you!

[chaoticloir]

Linux chick? Rulez!

[assalane]

Maybe you should include a 100% graphical configuration to not scare terminalphobic people off lol. only half serious... it would defeat the purpose of switching to Linux :productivity

[spindlegrinder]

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart = command not found??????

[OricTosh]

@spindlegrinder Just set this up and hit the same brick wall needed to do sudo apt-get install samba4 and then using the command whereis samba I changed the path to one of the ones listed ie /usr/sbin/samba restart

error cleared :-)

[spindlegrinder]

@OricTosh Thanks, what I'm trying to figure out is how to make an ubuntu home server that shows up in my network connections and I can just click on an icon there and send files to it and retrieve files to it but there is little information on this and the information I do find is very confusing, and too complicated can you help me please my only other option is feenas but I don't understand this either

[OricTosh]

@spindlegrinder I haven't yet be able to share files using Samba, I used the method in amzertech vid which is quite clean; during my time to get some sleep I struck on fundmental thing I belive you need that is a static IP. With this in place amzertech method it should work. I need to try it. Found this about NAS and freenas talks about NAS and has screen shoots showing how to set up freenas

[bobobano]

does she remind anyone else of Codex?

[elizabethpowell]

I've seen other Linux videos that people do they aren't nearly as coherent as your videos ... don't misunderstand when i suggest that the fact that you're doing the videos makes the software seem less "threatening" (less anxiety causing) and your voice is just beats Mr. Geekoid Nasal Man ...

[evillemonkey]

Thanks!

[lezion]

nice voice

[thaijunkie19]

aint nuthin sexier than a cute computer geek lol

[thebigbigdaddy]

there is nothing more sexier than to see a pretty lady like you explaining how to do Samba :)

Keep up the good work!
