[thatishari]

Hi,

I just wana know can i share a folder in a linux server to be accessible from all desktops (in the same network or domain) with share permission. I think i am clear with this question.

Please share the ways to do so.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Hari.

If all the computers on the network are running Linux then you can use NFS. If there are a mixture of Linux and Windows computers then you will be better off using Samba

There are a lot of tutorials on the Internet that are a lot more detailed and simple to follow than I could achieve here. You're best off searching Google and if you have any problems following a tutorial then come back and we will help you get through them

I agree with Kieren that there are a variety of OS out there. What you need to do is google on samba connectivity and specify your Linux flavour to get the best help. This link
Samba Setup Guide Samba Configuration and Tutorial shud get you started. incase of a problem. Please tell use the distro you have and a view of your network setup.
