SAMBA - Use to share your Puppy content on your home network

#1 Post by gcmartin »

This thread addresses how to use a 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 many of the primary Puppy Linux distros.

Guides for the following Distros included in this threadPlease post to this thread for assistance in "sharing" content with your LAN PC users should you have problems

On the forum, there is this other thread on SAMBA here, as well, Its information is formatted a little differently to ease use of SAMBA.

Coming in the future, a SAMBA guide for FATDOG 7xx/8xx

Pristine usage
To use SAMBA in FATDOG-V6xx, a user MUST know that a Control Panel utility MUST be run so that the OOTB SAMBA server can provide sharing to the LAN community. The following figure depicts this need and it is advised to Enable and to Start the SAMBA server..Image
Running the following command shows what is initially being shared.

Code: Select all

# smbclient -U% -L localhost
WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated
Failed to load upcase.dat, will use lame ASCII-only case sensitivity rules

	---------                     -------
	WORKGROUP            FATDOG64-9E6
There is no Guide at this time for FATDOG tailoring for any user needs. This FATDOG does not fully participate with some modern smb protocols and devices.

Seamonkey Guide minor comments

#10 Post by Snail »

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?

Tahrpup already has Samba built-in. As a common courtesy to 666philb, you should at least mention that before instructing users to install a different package.

Maybe you should read the document for a better understanding.

All documents allow for comments.

Seems a fairly comprehensive guide... and the point is about providing and setting up a SAMBA server not just the client ...the current exercise with packages was to see if it could be shrunk and made a bit more friendly for easier inclusion in puppy. The guides are there for general file sharing help though the package I have played with is referred to.

I have worked on the package/gui...I have not contributed towards any guides ...though as mentioned anyone is welcome to chime in... for matters clarity, additional information or perhaps mention any errors in the usual way of informative blogs/document.
Time and effort has obviously been expended to produce such documentation on a voluntary basis regardless of how the information has been compiled.

The name of the game is making improvements and helping users.
