Linux-Noob Forums

Alright, I'm a total noob.. and somewhat clueless with a lot of Linux. Configure your

I am more than willing to help. However, I am really quite unsure what it is you are asking. Do you think you could be a little more clear in your request ?

Well, I can only be as clear as my directions that I was given. Let's see If I can break this down a bit more.

What I have to do is..

Configure my home directory as a Samba Share. Then use the smbclient to connect to my home directory using a bash shell. Then list the home directory contents and copy the contents.

So basically what I have to do is configure the directory and prove that I have done so. :P

Anyone? :P

the following post should give you some ideas

Hello :)

So um, here we go. Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf

Code:
[home]

 comment = My Home Space

 path = /home/myuser/

 valid users = myuser

 public = no

 writable = yes

 printable = no

 create mask = 0765

Thats a simple example, replace "myuser" with your correct username. Then you want to restart the samba service. I believe that under Fedora its:

Code:
service smb restart

That should be it working as a share then. Basically smbclient works like this for listing your home directory:

Code:
smbclient -U myuser //localhost/home -c "ls"

Or for doing a simple copy of a file:

Code:
smbclient -U myuser //localhost/home -c "cp file filecopy"

etc

Any good?

Thanks for all the help guys! Much appreciated!
