Click the Options button above the Users section and enable "Share files and folders using SMB." This is the Mac's SAMBA.Under the Users section, toggle the permissions as you see fit.Per your comment to your post, leave that unchanged. By default, you should see your own Public folder already populated under the Shared Folders section.Like YoshiBotX said, turn on "File Sharing" in System Preferences > Sharing.I can provide basic instruction to connect from your Linux box to the Mac, but you'll have to research your particular distro if you run into any issues:

#RETROSHARE FILES NOT VISIBLE IN SHARED FOLDER MAC#

With the Mac hosting the share point, here's what you need to do.

This shouldn't take 5 minutes to set up 2 x 1-way sharing through browsers on both boxes, and relieves you from hacing to trouble-shoot the slightly more complex task of installing and configuring netatalk or running SMB sharing from the mac and getting the linux client to mount it, which isn't always a "it just works" situation, like running 2 apache2 servers is. Then you need the ip address of the Linux box, and the relative location from the apache root to see the files in your Mac's browser.

#RETROSHARE FILES NOT VISIBLE IN SHARED FOLDER HOW TO#

Those instructions inadvertantly also cover how to get the apache2 server up and running.

You can enable directory listings on the Linux apache2 server with instructions here.

#RETROSHARE FILES NOT VISIBLE IN SHARED FOLDER INSTALL#

To share in the other direction, from linux to Mac, you could do the same from the Linux box: sudo apt-get install apache2 I believe directory listing is enabled by default on the Mac apache2 server. This is one way sharing, from the Mac to the linux box, and will work fine as long as there are no files over 4GB (unless apache fixed that issue and didn't tell me about it). Tell your brother to open a browser and put in that address it will give him a directory listing as long as there is no index.html file in there. Then give your brother the address that it tells is your personal web sharing address in the Sharing Preferences pane when you enabled Web Sharing. To make it super simple, I'd enable web sharing on the Mac, and put the files you want to share to the Linux box in a folder in ~/Sites/a_folder/. Basically, the script is just the mount point creation, and the cifs connection to the smb server. Once this is working, you can create a script for your brother to automatically mount when it is executed from the gui. .¸¸ sudo apt-get install mkdir mount.cifs //172.17.8.212/smb_share /mnt/mavericks_smb/ -o mkdir mount -t cifs //172.17.8.212/smb_share /mnt/mavericks_smb-dup -o username=amitsbrother,password=trustno1,nounix,sec=ntlmssp.Samba no more, mount.cifs needs extra options, "nounix,sec=ntlmssp"ĭon't use the linux gui to connect, have bro open a terminal and try these commands Regarding getting your SMB sharing connection from linux working. I still should be able to use SMB if my OS provides it natively! There might be tools out there that work better than SMB, doesn't matter. Mac gives SMB as a part of the OS and thats what I want to use. S.: I am NOT interested in installing any third-party tool for this job.

#RETROSHARE FILES NOT VISIBLE IN SHARED FOLDER PASSWORD#

It then asked for user name, domain, and password and I entered guest for all three, as advised by And this gave the following error: Then I tried the following address on my Ubuntu's Nautilus: Then I activated file sharing on my Mac and designated my Public folder as the share point (default). Is there any simpler method?įirst of all I enabled guest sharing on my Mac: Is it possible to share files with a Linux user using SMB or AFP? I understand FTP is an option but connecting using FTP involves a lot of Terminal steps each time, i.e., activating FTP, sharing password with the user, connecting, and then closing FTP. Any suggestions around how? I have tried checking the file sharing option in the Preferences > Sharing module but it didn't help. While I do know that Airdrop works only for Apple devices, I am sure there must be some way to share files with non-Apple devices using the built-in WiFi capabilities. Both the laptops are Wi-Fi enabled and I also understand that Mac does allow file sharing over Wi-Fi. I am using a MacBook running Mavericks and my brother is on a Linux box and we often need to exchange files between each other.
