NFS - Network File Sharing (install server)

YouTube-ServerSide

SettingUpNFS

top

install nfs-server

sudo apt-get install nfs-kernel-server

Create dir to export (share)

sudo mkdir FolderName (root)
umask = 0022 / permissions = 755
sudo chmod 777 file1

Create local settings such as ...

POSIX permissions (owner and group)

The most restrictive combo of Local and NFS permissions is what applies.

If a folder has full permissions locally (777)
but I export that folder as (ro) instead if (rw), 
My actual permissions are read-only.

Add dir you wish to share to /etc/exports file

cat /etc/exports
sudo nano /etc/exports
(add the following lines)

/dir/FolderName1 192.168.1.7/255.255.255.0(rw,sync)
/dir/FolderName2 x.x.x.x/x.x.x.x(ro,sync)

Export the file system

sudo exportfs -a

Restart the NFS daemon

sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart

NFS - Network File Sharing (install client)

YouTube-ClientSide

Install client tools for mounting NFS file system

sudo apt-get install nfs-common

Mount network shares with nfs4

sudo mount -t nfs4 -o proto=tcp,port=2049 RemoteHostIP:/dir/ShareName LocalFolder
(LocalFolder on client)

SAMBA Part 1 of 4

1. Samba-Part1
2. Samba-Part2
3. Samba-Part3
4. Samba-Part4

SAMBA uses (SMB) "Session Message Block"
SAMBA uses (CIFS) "Common Internet File System"

Install SAMBA

sudo apt-get install samba 

Edit the Configuration File

[ALT + F2] then 
gksudo gedit/etc/samba/smb.conf
  
search for "workgroup" workgroup = WORKGROUP
personalized to something like workgroup = sjnWorkgroup

find "security = user" and uncomment

At bottom of Config file create a "share" such as ...

[sjnPUBLIC]
comment = Public files shared on "name of server"!
comment = Public files shared on bob scott (that's server bob and server scott)
path = /sjnPUBLIC
guest ok = yes (can browse without authentication)
browseable = yes
read only = yes
#create mask = 0000
directory mask = 0000

[sjnREADONLY-EXT4]
comment = Read-only share on bob
path = /sjnREADONLY-EXT4
guest ok = yes (can browse without authentication)
browseable = yes
read only = yes
create mask = 0000
directory mask = 0000

[sjnWRITEABLE-EXT4]
comment = Read-Write share on bob
path = /sjnWRITEABLE-EXT4
guest ok = yes (can browse without authentication)
browseable = yes
read only = no
create mask = 7777
directory mask = 7777

top

Create dir to match SAMBA shares "Name and Permission"

sudo mkdir -v /sjnPUBLIC 
sudo mkdir -v /sjnREADONLY-EXT4
sudo mkdir -v /sjnWRITEABLE-EXT4

Change file permissions to match the config file

sudo chmod 777 /sjnWRITEABLE-EXT4

SAMBA Part 2 of 4

Samba-Part2

Mount necessary partitions and devices

Mount necessary partitions and devices in /etc/fstab 
(unless they are already mounted)

Not necessary if you are only sharing files on the default ...
Ubuntu Linux ext4 root (/)

Is necessary if you want to auto-mount NTFS partitions to share on network

SAMBA Part 3 of 4

Samba-Part3

After modifying files in /etc - restart the daemon

Best to create a SAMBA password
sudo useradd sambauser
sudo passwd sambauser
cat /etc/passwd
sudo smbpasswd -a sambauser

Anytime you modify /etc/samba/smb.conf 
sudo restart smbd (unknown?)
sudo start smbd
sudo restart nmbd

FSTAB SHARE configure

see Mount HDD to mount a hard-drive

sudo mount to see what is mounted
sudo mount -a to mount all entries in fstab

gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
select Edit -> Preferences -> Editor
create a backup copy before saving file

Example 1. Share on Linux

[path to share]    [mount point] [file-sys] [options]      	             
//IPAddress/share  /mnt/sjnSAMBA   cifs    users,auto,credentials=/sjnLinuxCredentials.txt, (cont)
  noexec,noperm 0 0

sjnLinuxCredentials.txt file to be owned by root (permissions 400) and contain two lines:
username = samba_user
password = samba user password

Example 2. Share on Windows
[path to share]  [mount point] [file-sys]  [options]            [dump][fsck order]
//win_box/share  /mnt/sjnSAMBA  smbfs      rw,credentials=/sjnWinboxCredentials.txt 0 0
NOTE: add username=share.password= to options list on fstab line

File System Category

#File Systems [auto] [ext4] [jfs] [reiser4] [swap] [iso9660] [FAT 32] [NTFS]
#Note [ntfs-3g]necessary for write access

#Network Types - nfs, smb, cifs
