Debian :: File Sharing Via Mapped Directory ?
Dec 13, 2010
My friends and I want to have a central server where we can share our files. I would like it to be accessible to each client (friend) by simply logging onto their VPN client and have the shared directory appear on their "My Computer" as a hard drive. It will be a Debian Lenny server that is accessed by Windows computers, and they'll be able to read and write whatever they like.
We do this same thing at work, but I don't know where to start. To access the file server at work from home, I just run our VPN client and I have access to all the drives I do at work. This is exactly what I'd like to do, but at my place. I'd like to know what applications I need to get to make this realizable, like if I need to use Apache, Samba, OpenVPN, etc. I can learn fast, I just need direction.
Eventually I want to evolve this project into something more, but I figured this would be a good starting point in learning server applications.

I've been trying for what seems like forever to share a single directory with only two authorized users and I just can't get the permissions right.
Running Ubuntu 10.04 desktop as home file/print server.
Two users: chris and gretchen
Directory to share: Music
Music resides in chris' home folder.
I'd like to have full access for these two users and no access for anyone else. The challenge is that the best I can get for gretchen is read-only. What i've done so far:
Created user accounts for each
Created Samba accounts with passwords for each
Created a group called "family" and added chris and gretchen to it
Assigned the family group to the Music folder.
Shared the folder giving read and write access to family group.
chris seems to work ok but when gretchen access it from her snow leopard laptop she can't create a new folder. It should be noted that chris is also the admin account.

I have a redhat server with SAMBA file services. I have copied all the users files into their respective home directories and mapped a network drive to their folders. However, when I try to access a file in those folders the machine reboots itself. There are no error messages or anything, it just reboots!

when I was using Windows XP, I could copy files from my PC into the shared folder of another PC (with WinXP), through LAN, both conected to a router.now I'm using Debian Testing, but the other PC still has WinXP, and I have no idea how to access the shared folder of the Windows box, from my Debian box... but I found out that this type of file sharing is done through a protocol developed at Microsoft, but supported by Samba, only I don't know how to configure smb.conf so I can access the shared folder on the Windows box, and to copy files into it

I've been searching this forum and the rest of the web for days now for a good software for a CLI Debian installation that will take links to file sharing sites such as Rapidshare, Megaupload, Uploading, DepositFiles etc and download them when possible (wait for timer to run out and so on).The only thing i've found so far is Slimrat but i dont seem to get it working with WWW::Mechanize even after trying to update it through CPAN

I'm using Gnome for the first time (after a long time with KDE) and am trying to share a folder the easy way. After installing nautilus-share (and samba, samba-common and samba-common-bin)I can right click on a folder and make it shared. Problem is that the option 'Guest access (for people with no user account)' is always grayed out.On some Ubuntu forums I saw people fix it by purging and reinstalling samba but that didn't work for me.I know how to manually setup a share in samba, just want to figure out why this isn't working and how to get this going.

I do not, and will not, use this feature. This banner to open the configuration is just using up space.
I am sure that this is very simple but I can't seem to figure out how to get the bugger off of Nautilus.

I currently have a debian hpc server unit of 10 p4 computers running under debian lenny in use for serving my home network via pxe. I was wondering if there was anything I could use to allow the same read and write acces that is on my pxe machines on my new palm pre plus. That would save me the hassle of syncing all my documents and movies etc to my phone every day or so.
So basically what I am asking is if I can use the current 5tb nfs raid and mount it some way to a remote ip that I can access fully on my phone without the need for a flash plugin. Btw the phone is homebrew app ready.

I've been searching on google but the only solution seems to be to change the name of the files (which didn't work). Is there any way to remove the banner? I'm not 3yrs old I know how to share files and don't need to be reminded where i can receive files.

I’m new to C programming so I wrote the following program to see if everything I needed to write programs with GCC and the standard C library was already installed. I am having issues in OS 10.10.5, where I am unable to build and compile some simple code, either using Xcode or Sublime text. I decided to install Linux Mint in Virtual Box to see if it would work.
Code: Select all#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("Hello! This is my first C program with Linux Mint
");
}
For some reason, I'm getting the following error:
mint@mint-VirtualBox ~/Desktop $ gcc hello.c -o hello1
hello.c:2:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
#include <stdio.h>

I've been doing some file-sharing with Ubuntu. And I've noticed that the files only in the immediate directory is shared, the rest of the folders are shown in other PCs but access is denied. How can I share all the subdirectories in a folder without having to them manually?

To be clear: I searched and used the button above to find similar topics, but my solution wasn't there.
I was very busy with work the past months, so my quest to become a Linux Crack hasn't borne too many fruits yet So I am still a ...
So here is my problem:
I have 3 users on my CentOS VPS:
root
user1
user2
For security reasons I only log on via public key, root access is denied. Admin is user1. user2 is a regular user.
I want user1 to be able to additionally access user2's home directory, when I log in via SFTP using FileZilla, because occasionally I want to move files from user1's home directory to user2's home directory. But I need user2 to still be able to connect to his home directory via SFTP, too (everything I tried up to now always "breaks" his account).
How do I do that?
user1 is in the wheel group in order to be able to become root if necessary.
user2 is in the user2 group.
I tried adding user1 to the user2 group, but that alone doesn't seem to give him access to user2's home directory.
I know this must be about rights and permissions, maybe group permissions? I sit on it about 8 hours now and don't see no light at the end of the tunnel. When I think I got it I suddenly can't log in with user2 anymore (neither PUTTY nor FileZilla).

I have samba set up and working quite well, but I have several shared directories containing multiple directory trees, and for some reason the sub-directories of the shared one are not shared.Is there a way do set them to shared automatically rather than having to go through and set share for each and every one?

When I first installed VMWare Workstation and Player everything ran great. I guess after a system restart things started to get buggy. When trying to load my virtual machine I get the following error:
Could not open /dev/vmmon: No such file or directory.make sure that the kernel module `vmmon' is loaded.Failed to initialize monitor device. Unable to change virtual machine power state: Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to I have tried running as root, through terminal, and reinstalling. The window still shows up eventually.

I am using Debian Lenny as my server to host multiple databases.
Whenever, I used to add a new database, I used to add an IP address like eth0:test in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
Today when I tried to do the same, I got an error when I tried to start the interface by typing "#ifup eth0:test". I also tried to do in this way "#ifconfig eth0:test up" but both of then yielded the same error saying "/sbin/ifconfig: no such file or directory".
The path is valid and the files are also present there. There are ifup, ifdown, if and ifconfig files in the /sbin directory. I also checked the permissions which is root:root. But still I cannot find the problem.

I have 10.04 and have samba running.
Samba is remotely administered with webmin and aim to setup home directory sharing. I am however having some trouble getting this to work.
I was of the understanding that home directory sharing allows me to create a user in ubuntu, which samba will then pickup and offer it up as a share.
My smb.conf looks like this..
Code:
#======================= Global Settings =======================
[global]
unix extensions = no
share modes = no
security = user
[Code]....
Essentially I've found this works providing I give the samba user a password after it is automatically created using the 'Configure automatic Unix and Samba user synchronisation' option in webmin.
However if I move the location of this home folder off the main drive i.e. /home/username I get turned away at attempted login.
I've tried specifying the path in [homes] using the path = /media/discarray, but this seems to break authentication somehow.

I am running a fairly new Debain Jessie stable installation with Xfce desktop. I need to use Xfce4 becuas the standard Gnome 3 does ot work when logging in with xrdp which I use becuase the actual box is headless.
I have an issue when starting synaptic. When I start it from the menu entry it just does not start. When I start from the terminal with
Code: Select allgksudo synaptic
I get an error box "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file" At the same time I can see in the terminal window a message
"Error copying '/home/userxxx/.Xauthority' to /'tmp/libgksu-SwcIe0': File or Directory not found".
I assume it is related to that I use a rdp session to connect, but I am otherwise clueless.
Code: Select alluserxxx@server2>xauth
xauth: file /home/userxxx/.Xauthority does not exist

I have just installed Ubuntu desktop and I am using this pc as a file server. I have already installed Samba and have it operational and viewable by my windows computers. Now the problem is that I have 2 hard drives and the way that I have Samba set up it is sharing my home directory which is wonderful but my windows computers do not have access to the second hard drive. I search for several hours this morning trying to figure out how to do this but cannot figure it out.
