This thread addresses how to use Puppy distro to share folders in your LAN community using SAMBA.

This thread is a work in progress to try to address the specifics of sharing from the perspective of each separate distro. this is because each distro can provide its own unique way for the SAMBA subsystem to be made available to its users.

Because Puppy is a varied collection of kernels and package management repositories, I felt it best to try to provide individual documents for several primary Puppy Linux distros.

Guides for the following Distros included in this thread

Please post to this thread for assistance in sharing should you have problems

There is a very simple easy to use document for sharing using LightHouse64 (LH64).

LH64 uses a version of sharing (SAMBA) that makes it capable to conect as well as allow connections to all 2009-2011 devices (SMB2 protocol units.).

Hope this helps

Thank you for this guide. I have a few comments that I hope may help to improve this very helpful document:

Ironically I wasn't able to open the Google docs site in Seamonkey and had to use Firefox to view it. That is probably something I've done however.

Both my Wifi routers issue IP addresses beginning with 10. not 198. . I believe that this is very common with WiFi routers, which are by far the most common home router type in my country. It might help avoid noob confusion if this was mentioned.

The last link on the Seamonkey page points to the Slacko announcement, not the 528 one.

Have you considered getting this information added to the Puppy Help 101 page, which is a file built into the 528 sfs? Or at least getting a link to your site added there?
