How do I share files on my server?

Q. I have an Ubuntu server and I want to share some of its files with my Windows AND LINUX desktops. I have heard that you can use Samba to share files with Windows, but will I be able to access the files throught Samba on a Linux desktop? Thanks.

A. sudo apt-get install samba

then edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
At the bottom it will have some sample shares. These will show up as the shared folders.

ex>
security = share
[Applications]
path=/home/offensivetech/apps/
guest only = yes
read only = yes
browseable = yes

This would put an "Applications" folder to show up when you go to
\\servername

Make sure to reload the samba config whenever making changes to the configuration file.
sudo /etc/init.d/samba reload
(might be sudo /etc/init.d/smb reload , can't remember).
