I made complete tutorial on samba configuration to share you data from Ubuntu to Windows and also Windows to Ubuntu, Its mean you can access your Ubuntu shared data from Windows and Windows Shared data from Linux Ubuntu with/without permissions. Permission is up to you, if you want to set permission or not.
Install Samba on Ubuntu/Linux Mint open Terminal (Press Ctrl+Alt+T) and copy the following commands in the Terminal:
- sudo apt-get install samba samba-common
- sudo apt-get install python-glade2
- sudo apt-get install system-config-samba
It is working on all Ubuntu versions and all Windows Versions.
