First we need to install Samba   sudo apt-get install samba    sudo apt-get install samba-common-bin   Set a password for Samba   sudo smbpasswd -a user_name   where "user_name" should be replaced with your username (maybe pi?).  Let's assume that your the folder you'd like to share is at /home/user_name/shared_folder.  We need to edit one file:   sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf   Add the following the end of the file:  [shared_folder]
path = /home/user_name/shared_folder
available = yes
valid users = user_name
read only = no
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes  where again, "user_name" should be replaced with your username.  Now restart the Samba server.   sudo service samba restart   To access your shared folder on another network computer, type   smbclient //host_IP/shared_folder   This will then prompt for the Samba login credentials.  If successful, you'll get a prompt that says  smb: \>  Type dir to list the contents of the share drive.  If this works, you've successfully accessed the shared folder, and your Samba server is working properly.

sudo mkdir /mnt/mydrivename   You'll also want to change the permissions on the new mount folder   sudo chmod 775  /mnt/mydrivename   This combination (775) provides read, write, execute permissions to all the current user and group, and only read, execute permissions to the rest of the world. Here's a (http://www.draac.com/chmodchart.html) link showing various chmod configurations.  To mount the drive, type   sudo mount -t cifs -o username = XXX,password= YYY //host_IP/shared_folder /mnt/mydrivename   Here, of course, replace "XXX" with the Samba username, "YYY" with the Samba password, "host_IP" with the IP address (or host name) that's sharing the folder, "shared_folder" with the actual name of the shared folder in the Samba server's /etc/samba/smb.conf, and "/mnt/mydrivename" with the location of the folder where your want to mount the drive.  If you're successful, you should be able to browse the contents of the network drive.   dir /mnt/mydrivename   Automount Network Shared Drive on Boot [ (Sign in to edit) (https://auth.fandom.com/signin?redirect=https%3A%2F%2Fmtrtech.fandom.com%2Fwiki%2FPermanently_Mount_Network_Drive_with_Samba%3Fveaction%3Dedit%26section%3D3&uselang=en)    ]   To mount the shared folder automatically on boot, we simply need to modify one line of /etc/fstab.   sudo nano /etc/fstab   At the end of the list, add a line with the following information, separated by tabs:   //host_IP/shared_folder /mnt/mydrivename cifs username = XXX,password= YYY 0  0   Where again, you should replace "XXX" with the Samba username, "YYY" with the Samba password, "host_IP" with the IP address (or host name) that's sharing the folder, "shared_folder" with the actual name of the shared folder in the Samba server's /etc/samba/smb.conf, and "/mnt/mydrivename" with the location of the folder where your want to mount the drive.
