Your All file sharing functionality in the Amahi HDA shares files on your local network. Access to the shared files is now managed through the share <code>web browser interface found at '''[[Setup|<nowiki>\\hdahttp://setup</nowiki></code>]]''' The first step is to create "users" who will be accessing the file shares. For example, one user for the wife and one for each of the kids. The second step is to create the shares (another term for filing folders) to put the files. The third step is to "Match the Shares with Users," that is, say which users save files or read from which shares. Actually accessing your shares is the last step.
Note that you have to input <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code> in == Step 1: Create Users ==* Click on the file browser or other places where files are requested, not in Users Tab* At the Internet browser. This is what you should see when using bottom of the default settings page click the "New User"* Enter the information for the new user and there are two users in click the system:"Create" button
[[Image:file-sharingYou can always edit a user by clicking on their row in the Users table.png|frameless]]
= Default = Step 2: Create Shares ==* Click on the Shares Tab:'''NOTE:''' By default, the system creates some common shares when it is installed (Shared FoldersBooks, Docs, Music, Pictures) =* At the bottom of the page click "New Share"** '''Share Name'' is the name that you will see to access the share** '''Path Name''' is actually where the files will be stored (no need to change this manually unless you are 'hacking')** '''Visible''' indicates if users can see the share (if not checked the share is hidden)** '''Read Only'' means that users cannot save things in the share* Click the "Create" to create the share
== Step 3: Match Shares with Users ==* Click on the share you want to match with users (I will use the Docs share for this example)* Visible defines if the share can be seen (without users having to manually enter its name)* By default your HDA comes with the following shares preinstalled: pictures, music, movies, files and books, in addition share is accessible by all users - I want it to be accessible to just one share per user . I uncheck the "home directoryAll Users" and a printers and faxes directorycheck box. Now I can see the access rules for each user on the HDA.
= Managing User Permissions and Shares =
User and share administration is performed (for [[File:SS1-Shares.PNG|750px]]* Simply mark the time being) directly using "Access" column next to each user you want to be able to access the Samba Server Configuration panel in Fedora. (In share* Mark the future this functionality will "Write" column for those user you want to be controlled through able to save files in the setup area in your HDAshare.)
To get there, you have == Accessing your Shares ===== Windows ===Your HDA shares files on your local network. Access to be at the desktop of your HDA (either directly or shared files is through [[VNC]]), and go to System -the share <code> Administration -<nowiki> Samba. Note: it may be under System -\\hda</nowiki> Administration -</code> Samba, if you have more server services installed.
Here Note that you have to input <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code> in the file browser or other places where files are requested, not in the Internet browser. This is what it looks like you should see when using the default settings and there are two users in my case.the system:

You can then configure your Also see [[Map Shares in Windows]] for assigning shares directly and configure the samba usersas network drives.
Tips:=== Mac OSX ===Refer to [[SharingToMacOSX|sharing to Mac OSX]] page for details.
* Samba users are separate from === Linux users (System -> Administration -> Users and Groups)===* However, each samba user must be mapped into a Linux user* Standard See the [[SharingToLinux|sharing to Linux permissions apply to samba users, except that samba can restrict ]] page for read-only and/or visibility of a share.* You may have to create user groups under Linux to manage shared spacesmore information.
