We are going to setup a Samba\/CIFS share on Fedora Server that we will then access from Windows 10. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Install Samba\/CIFS server packages<\/li>
  2. Create user to access share<\/li>
  3. Configure SELinux and firewall<\/li>
  4. Connect to erver from Windows<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. Install Samba\/CIFS Fedora Server Packages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    First we need to install the samba package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    sudo dnf install samba<\/pre>\n\n\n\n

    Samba Dependencies <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    Next, lets enable the Samba service so it automatically starts when the server boots up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    systemctl enable smb nmb\nsystemctl start smb<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    nmb is a “NetBIOS name server that provides NetBIOS over IP naming service to clients”
    https:\/\/www.samba.org\/samba\/docs\/current\/man-html\/nmbd.8.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    2. Setup Samba\/CIFS User<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    We now need a user to connect to the Samba share with.  You can use the commands below to to create a new user.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    pdbedit only configures a current Linux system user for Samba.  You can skip creating a new Linux user, but only if there is one already created that you can use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sudo useradd -m sambaUser\nsudo passwd sambaUser\nsudo pdbedit -a sambaUser<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    3. Configure Server SELinux and Firewall Permissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Configure SELinux permissions with the following command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sudo setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    You can also just disable SELinux.  Although it is not necessarily recommended.
    How To Enable\/Disable SELinux<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
    sudo setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on\nsudo firewall-cmd --add-service=samba --permanent\nsudo firewall-cmd --reload<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    4. Test Samba\/CIFS Share from Windows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    You can now test to see if the share works.  Open up Windows Explorer.  Type in the IP address of the server and connect. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
    \\\\ip-address\\sambaUser<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    It should prompt you for a login. Enter the user and password you set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If it loads, then congratulations!  You have successfully setup a Samba\/CIFS Share on Fedora Server.  Create new directories or files or whatever else you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
