How to setup share network folder with RaspberryPi

You first need to ssh in to your RaspberryPi and run the following command lines.

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install samba samba-common-bin

Then you and to create a shared folder:

sudo mkdir -m 1777 /share

Next you want to edit Samba config file to include shared folder:

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Insert the below settings to the bottom of the page:

[share]
Comment = Pi shared folder
Path = /share
Browseable = yes
Writeable = Yes
only guest = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
Public = yes
Guest ok = yes

Press `ctrl` + `x` to close file and press `y` to save and hit enter.

Next you want to create a password for Samba:

sudo smbpasswd -a pi

Here it will prompt you to insert password. This is separate to you Pi login but there is no harm inserting the same password if you like.

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

Now you should find that your RaspberryPi is discoverable on your next work.
