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>.]]'''
Note that you have The first step is to input <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code> in create "users" who will be accessing the file browser or other places where files are requestedshares. For example, not in the Internet browser. This is what you should see when using one user for the default settings wife and there are two users in one for each of the system:kids.
[[Image:file-sharingThe second step is to create the shares (another term for filing folders) to put the files.png|frameless]]
= Initial Install =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.
While we build a == Step 1: Create Users ==* Click on the Users Tab* At the bottom of the page click the "New User"* Enter the information for the new facility to manage shares, we ask that you configure file sharing (otherwise known as SAMBA) via the Fedora SAMBA configuration utility, which is a desktop utility. It's available at user and click the desktop under "Create" button
The following are '''critical things''' to do to make it work:You can always edit a user by clicking on their row in the Users table.
== Step 2: Create Shares ==* create a Linux user for each user Click on the Shares Tab:'''NOTE:''' By default, the system creates some common shares when it is installed (Books, Docs, Music, Pictures)* At the bottom of the page click "New Share"** '''Share Name'' is the name that you want will see to access the sharesshare* create a SAMBA user * '''for each userPath Name''' is actually where the files will be stored (no need to change this manually unless you want to access 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 shares.share* associate one with Click the other in "Create" to create the SAMBA config toolshare
= Default = 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 (Shared Folderswithout users having to manually enter its name) =* By default the share is accessible by all users - I want it to be accessible to just one user. I uncheck the "All Users" check box. Now I can see the access rules for each user on the HDA.
By default your HDA comes with the following shares preinstalled: pictures, music, movies, files and books, in addition to one share per user "home directory" and a printers and faxes directory.
= Managing User Permissions and [[File:SS1-Shares =.PNG|750px]]* Simply mark the "Access" column next to each user you want to be able to access the share* Mark the "Write" column for those user you want to be able to save files in the share.
User and share administration is performed (for the time being) directly using the Samba Server Configuration panel in Fedora== Accessing your Shares ===== Windows ===Your HDA shares files on your local network. (In Access to the future this functionality will be controlled shared files is through the setup area in your HDAshare <code><nowiki>\\hda</nowiki></code>.)
To get there, Note that you have to be at the desktop of your HDA (either directly or through [[VNC]]), and go to System -input <code> Administration -<nowiki> Samba. Note: it may be under System -\\hda</nowiki> Administration -</code> Sambain the file browser or other places where files are requested, if you have more server services installednot in the Internet browser. Here 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.
