I am totally new to Antix. I use mainly Crunchbang and at times my dear Puppy Linux Lucid 5.2.8. I would like to know how exactly to set up shares in Antix as well as access my other shares that I have. I saw a video by Dolphin discussing Connectshares. Looks interesting but I am not sure how exactly to set up a share in Antix. I am using the Rox-Icewm configuration as well as trying out the SpaceFM-Icewm desktop configuration. I love Rox though. Simplicity rules for me.

Thanks __{{emoticon}}__

this is a vid I did on samba shares using Linux Lite. the working smb.conf is in the notes below the video. the tools are a little different (file managers, editors) but the basic concepts are the same. The smb.conf file is located in / etc/samba/smb.conf. I usually back the default on up, and replace the smb.conf there with one very similar to that in my video notes. Hopefully it helps. To do a simple share is not all that hard.

by the way, the command to restart samba in antix is as root

service samba restart

Great. Thanks!! So creating a share is just a matter of configuring the smb.conf file like I do in Crunchbng and then restarting the samba server? If so, I have done that many times before. I just thought that because Antis is new to me that there has to be some special way unique to Antix.

Thanks again!!

no problem. samba is basically samba everywhere. just remember about users and the linux permissions. that's where most people trip up.

Just tried Connectshares. Works great!! I can see all my shares on all the computers on my LAN! Thanks so much for continuing to do these very informative videos. Now on to your persistent USB video hoping I can do the same thing I can currently do with Puppy Linux.
