There is a lot of money for the Linux operating system. Linux is very powerful and easily customizable. But there is often a need to continue a program or two to Windows computer, even after the most used Linux. Even if you are using Linux in the strict sense, more people are using home computers to Windows, Linux or other computers. Learning the computer network, and is very useful. Fortunately, the new version of Ubuntu Linux, is also very simple.
First, they must recognize that the network team of Ubuntu Linux, Windows PC will be different in the two ubuntu network computers. We will cover the Ubuntu / Windows network first.
Unfortunately, Microsoft, the company, which is Windows, I decided to really want to be, only the Windows operating system at all. Therefore, the computer, Windows does not recognize, or “play well with Linux computers. Microsoft ignores the fact that you do not want Windows computers only. This kit will allow the Linux network. The solution to this problem, to trick the computer into thinking your Windows computer to the Windows Ubuntu!
Therefore, through a program called Samba. Samba is a great little program that helps Windows computers to Linux on your computer. It also opens the windows of the Ubuntu team, and to share the printer, the printer can use the network for the whole house.
The easiest way to Samba, and Ubuntu running on the machine to select a folder to share. Suppose you want to share the “Pictures” folder. Open your own folder, and then “right click” on the “Image” folder.
A small pop-up menu. Click the “Options” button at the bottom of the list. Another window opens. The window is called “Shared Folder” – the box and click on “Create Share” button. You’ll be prompted to install the Samba. Go ahead and confirm the installation.
That’s right! They install Samba is running and can browse the shared folders on your computer with Ubuntu Linux on your computer. You can see the shared folders on your Windows computer by going to “Network” menu on the Ubuntu site.
If you need more advanced distribution functions (like mapped drive) is a thread in the Ubuntu forum helps: HOWTO: Samba configuration.
Well, what should I do if the two computers to share files in Ubuntu? Samba turns Windows operating system, so the Ubuntu computer “talk” differently. Fortunately, it’s easy. Open any folder on your computer to Ubuntu. The browser program folder called Nautilus. You will see that the address bar in Nautilus is a little more than the Windows folder. If you are not in the address bar, where you can type, click the small pencil icon in the folder. This will be the address bar. Use the Delete or Backspace key to delete the address. Now he wants to give the address of the other Ubuntu computer. You need to know the IP address of the Ubuntu team to another, you can find it by opening a terminal and typing “ifconfig”. Then enter the address of the Nautilus window:
ftp://192.168.10.165/home/YourUserName
Replace IP address with other Ubuntu machine’s IP, and “username”, which is his nickname. This will open your home directory (enter your username and password to the computer), and find and get the necessary files. Click on “Bookmarks” in the menu bar of the Nautilus Nautilus can easily save your favorite place.
Ubuntu Linux has a long way the light that your network is operational. A few steps and you can navigate your files and share printers without problems!
