How can I share my files within a network which is full of windows computers... I installed samba and smb4k, smb4k can see computers but I couldn't view folders... Is there another program or method to share my files with other windows computers...
Thansk!  |

| Are you using GNOME 2.6? If you are (and you have the samba USE flag turned on) you can use Nautilus to add your samba shares and browse them. gnome-vfs allows you to do it. |

Are you shareing files on your linux box with windows or trying to view the windows files from your computer... our post confuses me a little...
Anyway smbclient can be used from the command line to access a windows box from your linuxbox
smbmount can be used to mount a windows machines shared folder
| Code: | | smbmount \\\\servername\\sharename /mnt/windowsbox -o username=<theusername>,password=<thepassword> |
For setting up share directories on your linux box, you need smbd and nmbd running, and your /etc/samba/smb.conf is the config file...
However swat is a usefull webbased interface to make configureing easy
Also if you haven't already look here

Actually, my problem was viewing the windows files from my computer... smbmount worked perfectly, thanks for replies... For sharing my files on my computer, I would prefer ftp. Which program do you suggest for a ftp server program? In windows I used bulletproof and cerberus which they both worked fine...
Thanks a lot  |

I would use sftp via sshd, if you are running sshd you should be able to sftp to it.
| Code: | /etc/init.d/sshd start
sftp 127.0.0.1 |
see if its working.
Your windows programs should be able to access it if they are any good. if not you can get putty which includes a command line sftp client.
I prefer it as its one less port open, one less application to worry about security on, and generally requires no setting up.

| I installed proftpd but I have problems with users.. I don't want to enable anonymous logins so I deleted anonymous part in proftpd.conf... I want to have two users which one of them would only be able to download and other would be able to download & upload... How do I set these! Thanks! |

Im affraid i have never used profpd, all i can says is
a) Make sure you read the manpage and website properly
b) you could try gproftpd which ls a GUI front end to configure proftpd
