  • This was a really useful tutorial! I already knew how to set up a static IP, but had no clue about ufw. Is there a chance that you could put together a video on Samba? I'm in the process of converting from a machine that has Ubuntu Server w/ GNOME installed to a different computer with a pure command line interface and setting up shares without a GUI is taking me forever to sort out

  • @kowskixc I will look into it but I had to reload my computer about a month back so I no longer have that virtual machine but I can set a new one up.

  • @maximum988 Well, if you ever feel bored and would like to do that it would be a huge help. I'm a total novice in the CL interface, sadly.

  • @kowskixc Sure no problem. What exactly are you trying to setup with samba? Is it just a simple file share with simple permissions or is it more complicated? Have you tried just copying /etc/samba/smb.conf from the old system to the new one?

  • @bmfitzgerald3 Its a little program called Putty. For some reason I can't put a link in the comment so just google "putty" and its the first result

see all

  • @maximum988 I believe it is quite simple and that the problem is that I just don't know what I'm doing. I need to create three shared directories that are associated with specific users (one of them being me, who will have access to all three while the other two users can only access their own directory,) two directories that are shared to everyone who has access to the network, and then the last thing I need to do is share a USB device that I back things up on. They're all kinda the same task

  • Thanks for the video dude! Really helpful. My question is about how you administer your system remotely. I noticed in your videos you're running Windows, and (I THINK) you're using SSH to "remotely" connect to your virtual Ubuntu Server to configure it. Is this correct? If so, how do you do that original SSH connection from within Windows to your Ubuntu server? Did you need need to install some special SSH software, or is that built into Windows?

    Thanks!!
