  4. Update the system and then install Samba using the following commands:
    \nsudo apt update
    \nsudo apt install samba<\/li>\n
  5. After the installation is complete, edit the Samba configuration file. Open the configuration file using the following command:<\/li>\n
  6. Use the command “sudo nano \/etc\/samba\/smb.conf”<\/li>\n
  7. Add the following content to the end of the file:<\/li>\n
  8. – The shared folder path is located at \/path\/to\/shared_folder and is available with read and write permissions. Your_username is the valid user with full access to the shared folder, which is also publicly accessible and visible for browsing.<\/li>\n
  9. Replace \/path\/to\/shared_folder with the actual shared folder path.<\/li>\n
  10. Save and close the file. Then, restart the Samba service to apply the changes.<\/li>\n
  11. Restart the smbd service using sudo.<\/li>\n
  12. Your shared folder has been created and is now accessible on the network.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
