Building samba server:
sudo yum install samba samba-clientsystemctl enable smb
systemctl enable nmbsystemctl start smb
systemctl start nmb#Update the samba config file
vi /etc/samba/smb.conf#Append this [test]
path = /download
valid users = sambauser
browseable = yes
hosts allow = 192.150.#test the configurations
testparm#Create dir for share
mkdir download#restart the services
systemctl restart smb nmb#Add user for to access samba share
useradd sambauser
passwd sambauser#Add same user for sambadb
smbpasswd -a sambauser#Check if share is visible
smbclient -L //<samba server ip> -U sambauser
smbclient //<samba server ip>/<samba-share-name> -U sambauser
Accessing the share from client:
yum install cifs-utils#Add the same user for to access samba share
useradd sambauser
passwd sambauser#create a dir to mount
mkdir download_mnt# mount it
mount -t cifs -o username=sambauser //<samba server ip>/<samba-share-name> /download_mnt
Note:
samba-share-name is the same name you specify in the config file in [] brackets not the dir nameYou can mount it as a persistent fs by updating fstab
