Hi Chris,
You can actually do this very easily if you don't use SWAT
Basically there are a couple of things you need to make sure you have switched on. First of all, if you are using a firewall on your FC3 computer you need to open up the ports for Samba, which are ports 135-139. You do this by going to the Security Level option and clicking on the firewall tab. In the other ports box the correct syntax is:
- Code: Select all
135:tcp, 136:tcp 137:tcp, 138:tcp, 139:tcp
Click OK and your firewall will be ready for Samba.
Next go to a command prompt (user or root) and type
- Code: Select all
rpm -q system-config-samba
to find out if you have the Fedora Samba Configuration interface. If not, use
- Code: Select all
yum install system-config-samba
to download and install it.
Under system settings you should see another sub-menu which should contain a Samba option. Click this to bring up FC's Samba config tool. Check to see that your folder is listed and select it with a single click. Click edit and make sure that Is VIsible and is Writeable are checked. Go to users and select available to all users (unless you have already created a Samba account this is the best way). Click OK and then exit the Samba config tool.
You should now be able to access the share across the network!
Let me know if this doesn't work and I'll try something else for you.
