Next, don't forget to save the changes made and close the text editor. Now, press enter to see a dump of your service definitions. Samba will need the following ports open to operate correctly. How we open these ports for the Samba services will depend on the type of firewall you have on your Linux server.
Let's open our csf configuration file with your chosen text editor. Now, make sure to add the ports to the appropriate section.
Finally, save the changes and reload the firewall rules. In case you are running the firewalld service, simply add the service using the following command. Samba uses two system services to operate: the smb. The smbd service implements a file sharing and printing service which listens on ports and To make sure those services are started automatically on system boot, we need to enable them.
Next, press OK and our Anonymous directory will be shown in our file explorer. Now, double-click to access the directory, and then right-click to create a new text document.
Choose a file name and then save it. We will name our file testfile for this purpose. Once we have a group for our Samba users we can easily assign any needed privileges to all of them at once.
Notice how we used -s flag to deny our user shell access and then we used a second flag -g to assign it to our group. There is one more thing our user will need to access our share and that's a password so let create a Samba access password for him.
Our samba users for this password protected share will now need a place to store their files so we need to create a directory for them. We can now move on to configuration for this share.
Open samba configuration file and add the setting for our private share. Full configuration file will now look like the following. We have learned what Samba is, how to install it and how to configure and use it for file sharing but Samba as a free and open-source software brings many more.
Step 2 : After installation is complete, you can check the Samba version with the following command:. Step 3 : Next, we need to configure Samba to enable sharing on the network. First, create a backup of the original configuration file:. We installed the Samba server and created a public share accessible to everyone.

Samba consists of two main programs, i. They are supposed to implement four CIFS services —. Smbd also handles share mode and user mode authentication and authorization to protect shared files and print services by requiring passwords.
Nmbd handles the name resolution and browsing parts of the four mentioned above, and this is done with the help of NetBIOS. FreeBSD ships with packages stored as tarballs. Binary RPMs are basically compressed cpio archives with some extra bits added.
