| − | #Issue the following Linux command to install Samba server utlity:<br>'''dnf install samba samba-client'''<br> | |
| − | #Create a backup of the file '''/etc/samba/smb.conf''', and create a new one that includes only the following:
| |
| − | [global]
| |
| − | workgroup = <yourlearnid>.org
| |
| − | server string = "put your real name here without the quotes"
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | There are many ways that a Linux client can connect to an SMB server.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Using smbclient ===

| − | | |
| − | x
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Perform the following steps:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | #In a full installation you should not need to install samba-client on your host, but if it is not present then do so.
| |
| − | #You will also need to install the cifs-utils package to be able to mount the filesystem.
| |
| − | #From the host use the "smbclient" command in a terminal window:<br>'''smbclient '\\vm2\home' -U <learnid>'''
| |
| − | #After entering your password you should get a prompt similar to:<br>'''smb: \>'''
| |
| − | #Enter the ls command to see a list of the files in your home directory:<br>'''smb: \> ls'''<br><br>you may receive the following error:<br>NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED listing<br><br>
| |
| − | #SE Linux should be in Enforcing and will need to be adjusted (on the samba server) for this to work by issuing the command:<br>'''setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs 1'''
| |
| − | #Once you have access to the directory use the get and put commands (similar to ftp) to move files.
| |
| − | #When you are finished close the connection.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Using 'mount -t cifs' ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | x
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Perform the following steps:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | #The next way is to use the mount command.
| |
| − | #Use the mount command on the host to mount your home directory by issuing the following commands:<br>'''mkdir /tmp/vm2-home'''<br>'''mount -t cifs //vm2/home /tmp/vm2-home -o username=<learnid>'''<br>'''ls /tmp/vm2-home'''

| − | '''Perform the following tasks:'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | #Use the "Places" menu from the desktop and open 'Browse Network'.
| |
| − | #From the menu in the side-bar of the files tool, choose 'Connect to Server'.
| |
| − | #Enter '''smb://vm2/home''' as the location, and enter your samba password in the prompt.
| |
| − | #Where vm2 is the name of the server, and home is the name of the directory it is sharing.
| |
| − | #After you have checked that you can access your files, unmount the share by right-clicking its icon in the side-bar and clicking 'Unmount'.
| |

| − | === Using a browser ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | x
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Perform the following tasks:'''
| |
| − | #You can also use a web browser with support for the SMB protocol such as Konqueror. Note that firefox does not have such support.
| |
| − | #If Konqueror is not installed then install it with the command:<br>'''yum install kdebase'''
| |
| − | #Start Konqueror, the web/file browser, and in the address bar enter the following:<br>'''smb://vm2/home'''
| |
| − | #Enter your username and password when prompted.
| |
| − | #Double click on a file you have some text in.
| |
| − | #Open it with gedit, make some changes, and save it.
| |
| − | #When prompted, choose to upload the file.
| |
| − | #Close Konqueror.
| |
| − | #cat the file on your VM2 to ensure the changes were properly uploaded.
