1. Enter terminal.
2. Input “sudo apt-get install samba”, then press Enter.
3. Now you can use “\\ip” to access the Ubuntu server in a windows client, but the username and password you input won’t be authenticated, you need to edit the SMB’s configuration file.
4. In terminal, input “sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf”, then press Enter.
5. In the editor, find “security = user”, then change it to “security = share”, and delete the “#” in the beginning of this line.
6. Then we try to create a share folder named “website”, add the following contents to “smb.conf”, then press Ctrl + S to save, Alt + F4 to quit editor.
   [website]     //share name
   comment = All tester
   browseable = no
   public = yes
   path = /etc/www/html                //actual path
   guest ok = yes
   read only = no
7. Back to terminal, press “sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart”, press Enter to restart SMB service.
8. Ok, all done, you can use “\\ip\website” to access the share folder in any windows client.
