samba and 2 files share

English Network/Internet

Hi all

I have two users and I want to do every one of them file share .

So that the user does not see a file used II.

Each one of them has a special file in which no one can see
only he

Is samba can do that.

Here is a share that only user “william” can see into:

Make a directory /home/william/special
Make the permissions on the directory to be drwx------

Make this entry in the Samba configuration file:

[william_special]
path = /home/william/special
valid users = william
read only = no

Add user william to the Samba user databse with this command in a root console:

smbpasswd -a william

Restart sSamba

That will do it. The share is read-write to william and no one else can read in it.

I did

Just for interest:

This will make the share invisible on the network:
add the line: browseable = no
the share becomes then:

[william_special]
path = /home/william/special
valid users = william
browseable = no
read only = no

But William can always open it, even when it’s invisible, by using this address in windows, and the files will be visible:

\\server_network_name\william_special

or from a Linx machine he uses:

smb://server_network_name/william_special

Thank you for this information.
