I'm trying to access the files using xp home. I've setup Samba, but it's not appearing in my network places. I want to be able to send the files on my xp machine to the debian machine. The files will probably be mp3/video files, but I'm not trying to stream them.
 
right, samba is extreamly easy to setup with the txt-config being fairly straight forward.
I have a SAMBA server in my house (which is also a HTTP,Torrent,Music,SSH,FTP,...) and I can access it with XP-home and My Linux PC

Here is my Config

Code:
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2)
# Date: 2006/05/29 21:52:16

[global]
	netbios name = FLUID-SLUG
	netbios aliases = FLUID-SLUG
	server string = Samba Server
	map to guest = Bad User
	null passwords = Yes
	smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
	log file = /var/log/samba/%M
	max log size = 10
	name resolve order = wins bcast
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY  IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=65535 SO_RCVBUF=65535
	os level = 8
	preferred master = Yes
	dns proxy = No
	ldap ssl = no
	create mask = 0660
	force create mode = 0660
	force directory mode = 0771
	hosts allow = 127.0.0.1, 10.0.0., 10.0.1., 10.0.2., 192.168.0., 192.168.1.
	case sensitive = No
	veto files = /.ShareConfFile/quota.user/quota.user~/lost+found/
	map system = Yes

[Torrents]
	comment = Torrent Store
	path = /opt/DATA/Torrents
	valid users = USER, ADMIN
	ADMIN users = ADMIN
	read list = USER, ADMIN
	write list = USER, ADMIN
	read only = No
	guest ok = Yes

[mp3]
	comment = MP3 files
	path = /opt/DATA/mp3
	valid users = USER, ADMIN
	ADMIN users = ADMIN
	read only = No
	guest ok = Yes

[ROOT]
	comment = Root system
	path = /
	valid users = ADMIN
	ADMIN users = ADMIN
	read list = ADMIN
	write list = ADMIN
	read only = No

[Documents]
	comment = User documents & files
	path = /opt/DATA/documents
	valid users = USER, ADMIN
	ADMIN users = ADMIN
	read list = USER, ADMIN
	write list = USER, ADMIN
	read only = No

[Misc]
	comment = Misc data & files
	path = /opt/DATA/misc
	valid users = USER, ADMIN
	ADMIN users = ADMIN
	read list = USER, ADMIN
	write list = USER, ADMIN
	read only = No

Effectively yr first [global] bit should be very simiar to mine (do put in the socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=65535 SO_RCVBUF=65535
it makes SAMBA alot faster!!!)

The rest are just share names and locations.


Windows can be a bit funny for a server to apear in the network neighbourhood (probably cause MS dont like SAMBA) but when you have it up and running (should be able to test in Debian since you should be able to see the SAMBA-shares) in XP-home goto run and just type

\\192.168.1.77\

well the IP of yr SAMBA-server (that is my local SAMBA-IP). XP should then register it and an Windows-Explorer window should appear, equally the Debian-box should also appear in the network Neighbourhood.


One thing if you see my smb.conf I have two users, USER and ADMIN, make sure the USER is a valid user on the Debian-box (and is the same as the username on the XP-box)

Also ensure the passwd is the same and remember to use the smbpasswd on the debian box to register the user as a SMB-allowed user


Oh and sort out SWAT, it will make configuring SAMBA really easy

I'll try this. Thanks
