Implement LAN shared folders on Ubuntu.

If your system is Ubuntu Or, there are two ways to share local files over a LAN on a computer running Windows or other Linux.

Passwordless sharing is provided to each user in the local area network.

Access is limited to specific areas and folder password protection is provided.

This article includes two methods where you can choose the one you want to use.

1.LAN passwordless shared folders.

Step 1: In order to share a folder on Ubuntu, right-click on the folder you want to share and select "Local Network Share".

Useful troubleshooting solution: If you don't see the "local network share" option in the context menu, create a new terminal and use the following command to install the nautlius-share plugin

sudo apt-get install nautilus-share

Then restart nautilus. You can choose to log out and log in, or use this command:

nautilus -q

Step 2: Once you click on "Local Network Share", the option to share the folder will appear. Just check the "Share this folder" item:

Possible troubleshooting: If it says that the shared service is not installed, as shown in the image below, click Install service and follow the prompts.

Step 3: Select the "Share this folder" option and you will see the "Create Share" button become clickable. You can also "allow others to create and delete fies in this Chinese folder". The same goes for the option "Guest Access".

You'll see that the folder icon is already displayed as shared. If you want to stop sharing a folder, just undo the "Share this Floder" option.

It's as simple as that, so that anyone on the LAN can access the files in the shared folder. Under normal circumstances, you would choose this way. Because, the computers in the home LAN are usually trusted computers.

But this is not always the case. What if you only want specific users to access? That's where the Samba server comes in.

We discuss this approach in the second part of this article.

1. To share folders and directories for Windows system under Ubuntu, you must first install a software in Ubuntu: Samba, open the terminal command line window in Ubuntu system, and then enter the following command to install Samba:

sudo apt-get install samba

2Once Samba is installed, open the directory where the folder we want to set up sharing is located.

3Right-click on the folder you want to share, and then select "Share Options" from the pop-up menu

4. After clicking to select "Sharing Options", the "Folder Sharing" settings dialog box will be opened, as shown in the figure below, some settings of folder sharing are mainly set in this dialog box.

5In order to better access the shared directory under Ubuntu under Windows, it is best to refer to the settings on the following surface, and click the "Create Share" button at the bottom right after setting.

6. After clicking the "Create Sharing" button, the prompt box shown in the figure below will pop up, this is actually the creation of the permissions we set in the previous step, click the "Automatically Add Permissions" button on the right, and the file sharing settings dialog box will be automatically closed after the setting is completed.

7. Go back to the directory where the folder we want to share is located, and find that there is a small icon of a hand-shaped tray on the folder we want to share, which means that the folder is shared.

8Now on the Windows system, use the win7 system, open a file, and then enter in the address bar, we set the IP and double slash of the computer of the shared folder, so that you can open the share under Ubuntu.

Installing SendAnywhere is the easiest. No additional permission settings are required.
