RE: Samba Guru... FTP/Samba - Windows/Linux file transfee

hi les....


thanks for the replies... i managed to get it working enough to test it...

the transfer from windows to linux is working ok, although my initialproblem
wasn't due to either the FTP or the Samba...

in case this helps anyone else...

my initial problem was an apparent slowness with transferring data from a
windows box to a Linux FTP server.. everyting is on the same
segment/network... i had wondered if something was going wrong with the FTP
app/server.. and explored Samba as another way of checking what the issue
was/is...

it turns out the issue seems to have to do with the Windows configuration of
the nic card ...

i've wound up setting the nic to 100 full duplex and 100 transfer...

this seems to have solved the issue as both the FTP and the Samba file
transfer are much faster, closer to what i would have expected...

The piece you are probably missing is that samba users get mapped
into some linux user and the normal linux permissions apply as
well as the extra ones you specified in smb.conf.  Usually
the right thing do to is set security = user, log in to the
windows box with the same name as the linux box, and use the
default entry for the home share.  In this mode, your linux
home directory will only show up as a share for the windows
box where you log in with the same name.

If you want to share things among different windows boxes
you might put them all in the same group and use the force
group and create modes to make sure all the users in the
group will have access.

This means you can connect/browse without authenticating so the
home share can't work the right way (i.e. it won't know who you
are before presenting the share list).

This means you don't authenticate at all.  Any connection is mapped
to the guest user, which probably doesn't have write access to
the files/directories.  And if there are untrusted boxes on the
network you don't want it to.
