How can I access files & folder from linux OS?

Hi Baker,

There is a way that you can access files and folders from Linux system as you are in using windows OS.

The package name SAMBA :), if you configure samba server into your Linux system you can access files from a Linux system across the Windows. Configuration is given below…

1, Install samba-{common,client,swat} packages
2, Configure /etc/samba/smb.conf
3, Chkconfig smb on
4, service smb restart

# vi /etc/samba/smb.conf  ( make sure the following lines are available for you or you are edit as follows)

Linux group (working group)
Any name ( server string )
Hosts allow = 192.168.0. 127.
Host deny = 192.168.1.
Security = user / share

Share Erics’s home directory:
[Erics-home]
coment = Erics’s home share
pathe = /home/eric
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
valid users = %S
create mode = 0664
directory = 0775

To create samba user:
# useradd -s /sbin/false username
# smbpassw -a username (create smb password)
# smbpasswd -e username (enable user)

Now you can access to Eric home directory

Some important command to samba server:
# smbclient -L hostname or Ip -N
# smbclient    //IP/smbshare -U username (login)
# smbmount   // IP/smbshare /mnt -o username=smbusr
# nmblookup * (list all machines)

Now you can find an Eric home directory as a share folder in your windows system, now you can access to your desire file from Linux system across the windows.

Hi Baker,
 

Generally there are two tools for sharing:

Samba is a Windows operating system based technology that enables windows operating systems to share a file from RHEL.

Another is Network File System (shortly named as NFS).

It is mainly invented for Linux operating system for sharing.

You can get a tutorial about NFS from

Thanks.
