Samba / 2012-04-03 06:33:26
Installing Samba is not that complicated and great resources exist out there to help. This page is strongly inspired by the page available on the Birra Borthers' page.
- Download the base archive at samba-2.2.5-base and extract its content to your disk, for example in SYS:;
- Download the 68k binaries at samba-2.2.5-bin-2.3-68k and extract its content to your disk, for example in SYS:samba-2.2.5/;
- Read the INSTALL.AMIGA file, it could save you a lots of troubles later!
- Follow the steps provided by Tiger to configure Miami to work with Samba, they work straight out-of-the box for me;
- My Samba configuration file tells pretty much all about configuring the Amiga side.
Using this configuration, I managed to access the content of the Amiga from the PC directly:

Also, using smbfs, I can browse the content of the PC directly from the Amiga. WARNING, you must set the stack to, at least, 40,000 using stack 40000 before running smbfs. I have a script that contains the following lines (the *** just hide my password ):
Stack 40000
SMBFS WORKGROUP=GIB \
USER=Administrateur \
PASSWORD=*** \
SERVICE=//MAKOLI/Amiga \
DEVICE=SMBFS0: \
VOLUME=Makoli: \
TRANSLATE=L:FileSystem_Trans/INTL.crossdos
