Setting up Samba shares on a Linux VPS
- by 101265052760541259879
Hi,
I'm trying to set up a folder that can be accessed via Windows clients over the net on my Linux VPS on which our companies website resides.
I know a little bit about Linux, and have used Samba before to browse Windows shares from a Linux laptop. I'm guessing it's possible to do the reverse - to share a folder from Linux TO a Windows client.
I have root SSH access to the VPS, would anyknow know what steps I need to take to set up the share, and how I can secure it, ideally with a simple username/password so the Windows clients can connect easily?
Many thanks,
Jack
