Samba Configuration Helper

Samba provides an extremely flexible mechanism for sharing files and printers with Microsoft Windows, Linux and Mac OS X clients. But Samba's flexibility comes at a cost: there are 420 unique configurable parameters, which can make setting up a simple file or printer sharing service a chore. The Samba Configuration Helper simplifies setting up simple sharing services, allowing you to specify which directories and printers you would like to share. At the press of a button, it then generates and downloads a script, which will update your Samba configuration and ensure your system is set up to run Samba.

This app helps you create a configuration that provides basic file and printer sharing. You can specify basic properties for your server, such as it's netBIOS name and a brief description, or simply use the defaults. Add any directories you'd like to share, add an optional description and specify whether they should be visbible, read-only or accessible anonymously. You can also elect to share all attached printers, or add them individually.

Click the "generate" button to generate a script that will set up your system to run Samba using your new configuration. You can review the script before clicking the "download" button to download the script.
