Begin by using your distribution’s package manager to make sure it is installed.

Samba will run on nearly any Unix-like system and can be found in the repositories of just about every Linux distribution. Note that you will need to be root to edit these, or use sudo. The configuration file is commonly found at /etc/samba/smb.conf or /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf. You can choose from several Samba configuration GUIs, but we’ll go the old-fashioned route and point our text editors to smb.conf. We’ll focus on configuring and using Samba for file and print-sharing in a typical home network with Linux and Windows machines. GNOME and KDE offer Samba client functionality built in to their default file managers, Nautilus and Konqueror, respectively.

Windows machines and Macs come with the functionality to work with with Samba out of the box, and you should only need to install a single Samba package for Linux machines. Several cross-platform file and print-sharing solutions exist, but Samba and the SMB/CIFS protocol may be the easiest to implement in a home networking environment. For all the devices in this familiar family setup, or even a scenario with thousands of users, the Samba suite is an ideal solution for file and print sharing.

I would use this if I can be assured that I would get my shared computer back in the finder and it would work, but with my experience it wa s no go, and it seems that I had better luck with things the way they were.Your home network might have a few Windows machines on the ground floor, a Mac in an upstairs bedroom, a PocketPC on a nightstand, and a Linux box or two in the basement, all networked with a generic router. I went through the process of deleting/uninstalling it, and it might have deleted correctly, but I cannot see my windows shares in the finder at all, which is kind of annoying cuase I liked being able to access them like that. Basically I want every trace of this proram uninstalled/trashed from my computer. I was going to use smbUP to configure sharing with my xbox, but dont want to break compatibility with the native apple protocols, and just figured I'd leave my windows machine to stream to my xbox until something comes about with apple.

It shows my imac share so I believe that the native afp is still working. I just want my shares back in the finder. I dont think think I ruined anything as I can still connect to my shares from the go->connect to server option, so theres some kind of smb there. I tried the typical commands which I cant rememberĪnd a few others. I just want to get back to the way things were and I dont think the developer is going to help, so could somebody help me out? I understand terminal a bit and tried some commands from and I'm not sure what happened from there. Passing non-absolute shell paths is not currently supported'. When I tried to run the app again to make sure I uninstalled everything correctly I got "An exception of class UnsupportedFormatException was not handled. I emailed the developer and responded to him as soon as he responded to me and he only emailed me back once with " What errors did you get when trying to run the built-in uninstaller" I emailed him back and told him my problem/s and he never responded back.

I did the uninstall and it showed that it uninstalled the samba packages and I still dont see my networked windows 7 computer in the finder. I was able to at least see my sjhares before, now I dont see anything at all, and after installing this program my windows networked computer dont show up in the finder like it used to. I just wanted to try to incorporate this for sharing between my mbp and xbmc4xbox but it actually made things worse. I've tried everything and it just wont work. The status stood on red the whole time, and never went to green.

Can somebody instruct/direct me on how to do this? I installed this smbUP but for the life of me I cant get it to work.
