 Posted: Mon Mar 30, 2015 4:07 pm Post subject: samba share strategy |
 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to set up a samba share on linux to be used with M$$$ 7 under qemu.
I have a few questions:
- Is the built-in qemu option useful and does it depend on host samba configuration?
- Is it better to configure a share folder under linux? (preliminary search results claim that m$$7 under qemu detects host samba)
- What's share strategy is better to use?
For the last question I'd like to expand from what I understand so far.
There are several ways of sharing that have different convenience levels:
- by using m$$'s guest account, possibly most convenient and easy set up:
| Code: |
|shared|
comment = Shared Folder
path = /home/user/shared
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
writable = yes
force user = nobody
force group = shared
create mask = 0770
|
- by using a fully configured shared with user, password etc. More complicated.
I am getting these mixed up because for the last one some places mention about creating a linux account exclusively for the samba share then give that user permission etc.
The problem with this is about organization.
Should I share a single folder? Should I share the exclusive shared user /home/sharinguser, should I share via /mnt/shared mount point?
What've noticed that sharing a folder on the host home directory is tricky due to permissions set up to the host.
Can anyone share a good strategy and not too complicated for moving files across linux <-> m$$?
To be honest I get by using a very backward way with several steps involved but is not useful at all in other scenarios, like for a friend. I'd like to get with modern times.
thanks |

My pick on this would be FTP. I know, I know, it sucks, but it is supported, takes no configuration and it works, so why bother with samba? |

mmm... I thought ftp was outdated and was on its way out.
So do you have an example to set up host/qemu(with m$$7)?
