Samba
From Attie's Wiki
Configuring a Samba server
Below is a simple configuration file.
- It will provide anonymouse access for everyone to the /home/shared directory.
- It will also provide authenticated access for users to their home directory.
- Don't forget to use
sudo smbpasswd -a <username>
to give the users a samba account! - You will need to do this as well:
mkdir /home/shared chown nobody:nobody /home/shared chmod 775 /home/shared

Install the following packages:
samba samba-client samba4
Setup a credentials file, and secure it:
username=xxx password=xxx
And insert the following lines to /etc/fstab
(will need to be root or use sudo to mount/unmount):
<share> <mount_point> cifs user,noauto,noexec,uid=<UID>,gid=<GID>,credentials=<credentials_path>,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700 0 0
Eg:
//baloo/l$ /home/attie/baloo-l cifs user,noauto,noexec,uid=attie,gid=attie,credentials=/home/attie/.smbcreds,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0600,dir_mode=0700 0 0
