can anyone tell me step by step procedure to have samba file sharing ?
i need 3 shared folder for 3 pc
i use SME 7.1

Here is simple answer. All this is doable through the server admin page
1) create users (the people whose pc's will share folders)
2) Create ibays ( smeserver speak for folders or directories)
3) Create Groups that will have access
4) modify ibays so that groups have either read write permission or just read
Have users log on to server. Each should be able to see their user folder, which is private to them and the ibays you created.
post if you have questions

Hi,
I know this will sound a little prissy, but read the manual.
Please, at least try to understand for yourself before asking others for help.
The less you know to start with, the harder it is to help you.
As a starting point: SME creates shared directories called Information Bays (IBAYS). They can be for whatever you want them to be. When you create a user on the SME, there is an ibay for that user's home directory......log on at a Windows PC as the same user/password and you can map that SME ibay using Explorer and assign it a drive letter. From the command line it would be something like:
net use z: \\smeserver\fred (assuming fred is the username)
BUT, the wonderful thing with SME is, you can create public ibays, with (almost) whatever names you like , and allow a single user acccess, or a group, or everyone - and it can be read-only, or read/write. They can be simple files stores or websites, ftp repositories and so on.
Do some reading then think about your questions again. If you state them clearly, and give as much detail as you can, someone will quickly come to your help.
Cheers
