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 thread

Appril

Appril has SAMBA V4 built-into (integrated into) its base system

TahrPUP

TahrPUP has SAMBA available via its PPM repository

EmSee

EmSee has SAMBA V4 built-into (integrated into) its base system

LxPUP64

LxPUP64 has SAMBA V4 built-into (integrated into) its base system

LightHouse64

LightHouse64/Just-LightHouse has SAMBA V4 built-into (integrated into) its base system

Slacko Distros

Puppy

Puppy 5.28-U4 has SAMBA 3.6x available via its PPM repository

Pemasu Distros

Exprimo V5.X.12/V5.X.14/V5.X.2.9-11 has SAMBA 3.6x available via its PPM repository

Saluki

Saluki V17 has SAMBA 3.5.12 available via Ibiblio repository for WARY(V3.6+ under development)

Please 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.

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

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..

Running the following command shows what is initially being shared.

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?
