samba
This package provides the components necessary to use Samba as a stand-alone file and print server or as an NT4 or Active Directory domain controller. For use in an NT4 domain or Active Directory realm, you will also need the winbind package.
This package is not required for connecting to existing SMB/CIFS servers (see smbclient) or for mounting remote filesystems (see cifs-utils).

Simply a necessity if you want to use the SAMBA protocol to share files (for example for Kodi) on your network. No issues yet except user error, the issues you might face will be because of your network, not because of this program.
as always with everything linux this doesnt work, and there is ZERO useful information anywhere !!! grrrrrr
(Linux Mint 19.3) Чтобы работал общий доступ к папке, добавьте строчку force user = Ваше имя пользователя в файле /etc/samba/smb.conf ниже строки workgroup = WORKGROUP.
This is the core package for SAMBA network file and printer sharing and is required for other PCs/SMB clients on your local network to see your machine. The sharing plugins for Caja, Nemo, Nautilus etc. won't work if samba is not installed. If youre using a firewall on your PC, open ports 139 and 445 to allow others to connect to your server.
since years we have this piece of sh. of win10 - how long will you need to fix the connection probolems, so it can communicate with a windoz10 machine? you morons ignorant dumbs still have no clue what you are doing. thats it. Big words but no eggs
Installation warned about removing files. Died silently, until I read the directions and typed: sudo touch /etc/libuser.conf. Awesome software that bridges Microsoft to *nix. MUST HAVE if you have more than one machine.
Since Redmond decided to help rather than hinder its development, this package has become really useful in a still undiscerning proprietary office world…`
This is the best way to share files between linux and windows and linux to linux too.
