Ubuntu Servers :: Should / Could Use A Network Share For Proftd
Apr 20, 2010
I'm in a strange situation where i have a windows host with a Ubuntu Server VM running Proftpd which needs to be able to ftp files to a shared drive on the host. This is so the webserver (a separate VM) can access the files in the ftp directory. Also so i can take snapshots of the server without the ftpd files. So, my question is how can i do this? Am i able to mount the share somewhere and use that to store my ftp accounts/files? Is it possible (or is it a stupid idea) to mount the home directory on the share?

I cannot browse the samba printers from windows xp professional clients.
I get the following message when trying to access the workgroup:
Code: Example is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available
Another strange thing is that if I set the workgroup to EXAMPLE in smb.conf, the workgroup shows up as Example on my windows clients.

I'm trying to setup a Samba network share with a Fedora Directory Server backend. This will be used primarily for Windows users to authenticate before accessing the share. I am using Fedora Core 10 and have all of the latest updates installed. When I try to connect from a Windows machine, I am prompted for a username and password. I enter the username and password of the account I created in Fedora Directory Server in OU=People. The credentials are rejected. At the same time in the log file I see this:
[2009/02/24 16:50:16, 3] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(282)
check_sam_security: Couldn't find user 'Administrator' in passdb.
[2009/02/24 16:50:16, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(318)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [Administrator] -> [Administrator] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER
Administrator is the user I created in Fedora Directory Server. If I perform an ldapsearch it will find the user as uid: Administrator so I know it is able to be looked up in FDS. But I'm guessing that's not the problem.

I have a Karmic server install on which I've set up a network drive mapping to a NAS (CIFS). I'm having trouble with automounting the disk though, as (from what I can tell) the disk is attempting to mount before the network is up.dmesg shows the following:

When the ping command is used there is no problem, and the pc name can be pinged.This is shown below:

i have 3 comps(running suse 11.3) and a laptop(running vista sp2). i have installed samba on all suse comps. i have a printer attached to one of the comps and it has been shared also the internet connection on that comp has been shared. all the computers are connected using lan cables through an ethernet switch. i also have a wireless router which is connected to the ethernet switch.
I am able to view all the comps on the network except the laptop running vista. all the desktops are visible on the network and are able to print and share files on the network and also connect to the internet. the laptop running vista can connect to the internet but its not visible on the network and nor can it share files across the network or access the printer.

In Googling around it appears that the Network Manager used to have a nice simple (obvious, logical, straightforward, intuitive, easy-to-use... ... can you tell I'm a bit surprised that there's not a simple button to do this, it's pretty common functionality ) option in the IPv4 tab called "Shared to other computers" allowing you to share your network connection with any computers connected to yours... kind of like this:
[URL] ....
Professor Google seems to indicate that this may have existed in Debian at one point but, I don't see this option anymore. How do I get it back (or is there another gui way to do this without editing the /etc/network/interfaces file... if there's no other way to do this... that's fine but I'd prefer an easy method of enabling and disabling sharing)?
What I'm trying to do... I have a Beaglebone Black connected via IP over USB. When I'm ssh'ed into the BeagleBone, I want to be able to use aptitude install to grab new packages etc... and that kind of requires access to the outside world. Everything I've found so far seems to to require a modification to the interfaces file but since (according to the interfaces man page) the preferred method is to use the network manager if possible... I'm trying to avoid that.
* It should be noted that I'm running sid with the experimental 4.3 kernel so... maybe in doing so I've shot myself in the foot?

Every time I try to mount a folder from my server, it ignores whatever folder I specify and just mounts the first folder in the exports file.I used to be able to mount more than one nfs folder, so I don't understand what is going on. Google isn't helpful.

Im running Ubuntu 10 desktop. Im trying to make it my fileserver for my windows laptops. The computer im using only has a 40GB HDD so I want to be able to share my 1TB external HDD. I cant get it to work to save my life. I read another forum from a guy trying to do something similar but it still wont work.
I reformatted the drive to ext4, added it to fstab and gave it 777 permission but windows still keeps giving me an error thats saying there might be a problem with my spelling or a problem with my network?

We have a server running Hardy. I configured it as an NFS client and mounted a share. The NFS server is remote and accessed through TCP only (no UDP allowed through the firewall). Now I've mounted it, though, I can't unmount it!

Hi, I have a server at my home which is a Ubuntu 9.1 which is setup as a NFS server using NFS v3. I am also using DYN DNS to access my home server remotely from another location using SSH. Everything works good, I can sucessfully log in to my server from my laptop via SSH, however my problem mounting my NFS share which consists of appx. 300 mp3 files. My question is:
1 How Do I Tunnel a NFS share through a SSH tunnel?
2 Is there any other configuration? needed to be done to the router?
3 is there anything needed to be configured to the server or my laptop?
4 Manual mounts is fine for me I don't care about automounting.
I just want to be able to mount the NFS share via the SSH Tunnel and play my music and access other files from my server.I just need the steps to set up this connection.

My first post, and I'm an Ubuntu n00b. But I've done a lot of reading and still can't seem to get anywhere with this. First of all. I know that I've set Samba up correctly because I can create a share in /home/documents which is mounted on my primary hard drive /dev/sda1, Windows 7 can access it no problem. But, when I try to set up a Samba share on my second hard drive /dev/sdb1, Windows 7 cannot access it. I've mounted the share in /media/Share The error I get in Window 7 is: " Windows cannot access \HOMESERVERData Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network."
My first thought is I must have the hard drive mounted or formatted incorrectly, but I can't find anything on this forum to tell me otherwise. I feel like I need to restart the process of this Samba set up. Can someone please guide me through: reformatting sdb1, mounting sdb1, setting up my smb.conf, fstab, and any other config files required to use my second hard drive as a Samba share?

I have been through a lot of sites and googled allmost everything to get an answer about sharing folders on a Ubuntu Server with Windows clients.
Every site tells me, that the only way to get from windows to the shared folders on a ubuntu server, is by using some extra software, installed on the windows machine.
Is this correct?

Is it possible to share bandwidth over Internet? A friend of me has made a little radio station with win-amp to screw around with. But as you can guess after 10 users the connection flips due to bandwidth limits. So we where wondering if we somehow can share both our bandwidth. I was thinking about perhaps linking some proxy's and combine that with load balancing... Something like that! But i'm not even sure if it's possible to do so.

I'm having a some pretty weird problems with some mounted file share in Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. Currently we are mounting several file share stored on a SLES Files Server onto our Ubuntu Web Servers using the CIFs protocol. Occasionally ( no rhyme or reason ) we will find that when you do a directory listing on the mounted share, while you are on the Ubuntu Server, there are no files being listed. Yet if you browse the SLES File Server or any other of the identical Ubuntu Servers (with the same mounts), the files are there ready to go.
Before using SLES for our file server we tried windows, and experience many of the problem you that you see on the forums of CIFs errors on the console screen. I'm beginning to wonder if 1. we can resolve the CIFs problems in Ubuntu 10, or do we need to down grad to Ubuntu 9 or 3.) change to something other than CIFs.

I'm trying to mount an ISO file over a Windows network share. The share is automatically mounted by Nautilus somewhere in ~/.gvfs and I'm trying to mount the image using:
Code:
sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 '~/.gvfs/[...]/image.iso' /tmp/iso
However, I just get a
Code:
[...]/image.iso: Permission denied
When I copy the ISO file over to my local hard disk, it works fine, but not over the network. How come? I don't have write access to said network share, but I don't think that should be necessary anyway.

I'm probably missing something really simple here...
In Ubuntu, with Nautilus, there is an easy GUI method of making folder to be shared and visible over the network.
I can't seem to find the means of doing this in Xubuntu, either in Thunar or Gigolo.
I can use either of these to browse folders on other networked machines I have shared using Nautilus.
I had Nautilus for a while on my XFCE machine and used that to share some folders, but I removed it as it was conflicting with Thunar at times.

I have a Windows 2k8 server acting as my domain controller. My goal is to have my Ubuntu 9.10 Server box share some folders via Samba, which should be authenticated via the PDC. So far, it seems to be mostly working. The Ubuntu machine has joined the domain, and is browse-able to domain users. The only problem at this point, is that the shares are not writable.
Code:
[global]
workgroup = smatech
netbios name = smalinux001
security = domain
idmap uid = 15000-20000
idmap gid = 15000-20000
winbind enum users = yes
winbind enum groups = yes
winbind use default domain = yes
password server = 10.10.10.2
domain master = no
local master = yes
[www]
path = /var/www
writable=yes

Anyone know if you can use samba to share a folder to stream music and video files to a wireless enabled dvd player? I have a machine running Ubuntu server and have all my music stored and shared using nfs with my network computers. I just got a Samsung BD-P3600 blu-ray player that has wireless for blockbuster, netflix, pandora, and you tube. You can also setup a shared folder on a Windows system to allow play back on the blu-ray player. I was just wondering if anybody has tried it with ubuntu and samba.

Ubuntu server 8.04
Samba version 3.0.28a
Config:
1) I created 2 shares in Samba, one is "/home/aaa" and the other is "/home/bbb". Both have the same owner, say "jack", with permission 775
2) I created one link named "pubshare" in "aaa" pointing to "bbb". "ln -s /home/bbb pubshare"
Problem: I connected to aaa from a Winxp client with account "jack" and access pubshare, (say cd pubshare), it prompts "access denied"
Experiment I've done
1) login local machine with account jack, cd /home/aaa, then cd pubshare. It works fine. (So I believe link works fine and permission of bbb is correct)
2) connect directly to /home/bbb with account jack from the Winxp client. It works fine too. (So I believe the samba config is correct)
3) I did not face this problem until I used "apt-get ugrade" several days ago.

I recently reinstalled my file server (moved from fedora to ubuntu server). Now I cannot mount my nfs share from windows 7, mounting from mac osx works fine. In windows I either keep getting "the semaphore timeout period has expired" or "an unexpected error has occured". Does ubuntu need some special magic to allow windows 7 to mount an nfs share? This is my exports file
Code:
/home/ducky101/ 192.168.1.*(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash)
/home/ducky101/mnt/EXTRN2 192.168.1.*(rw,sync,insecure,no_root_squash)
