How to share (read/write) any folder with root permissions in centos 6 or linux

Question:

Now a days many people like software developers uses 2 or more OS. So the people who have multiple PC's with different OS need to share the files or folder between them. So how?


Solution:

Requirement:

i.  Samba
ii. LAN connection

Step 1. Install samba by giving command in centos console -
 
                           yum install samba

Step 2. Configure samba by opening smb.conf  

                           vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

i. Create a workgroup in which you are going to share the files/folders.

by default it is like -

                  workgroup = MYGROUP
change it to -
                                 

netbios name = your_host_name 
workgroup = workgroup

because windows system has default group named as WORKGROUP.

ii. Now create a shared resource , where you will indicate the path of the folder you want to share.

        [myshare]
        path = /root/Desktop/share
        writeable = yes
Where [myshare] is the folder name what you want people to see in their PC.
"path" is the path of your shared folder.

Step 3. Make sure your firewall allows SAMBA.

Step 4. Now test the settings of SAMBA by --

# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
rlimit_max: rlimit_max (1024) below minimum Windows limit (16384)
Processing section "[myshare]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE
Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions
Step 5. Disable SELinux by-       
setenforce 0

        To permanently set it modify the /etc/selinux/config file and set the value of -

SELINUX = permissive

Step 6. Restart SAMBA by -

/sbin/service smb restart


Now you are done!

My favourite writer Humayun Ahmed

There is none who can replace him.At least the standard which he create in is life time in the running literature it never be replaceable.The new generation which is all the time busy in playing PC games,chatting ,bands etc. only his writing makes them to take a glance on the literature.For example Himu and Misir ali all the time keep them on track by anti-logic and logic.They also have show-down on the novel.I myself read all of the books of Himu and Misir ali and wait for the new one to come every year.Now I have to wait for life time. Except books he makes our dirty film industry pure by his heart warming ,well versed film.Following him many new producer try to make well and good film (not the dirty one) .He also contribute our drama by his dashing drama's.

The list of books: Selected novels • Lilaboti (2...
