Accessing a Linux Samba share

The installation of Samba on a Linux server is a way to allow other OS to connect to it, by using a common sharing protocol.


Before we begin, best is to know the ip address of the linux samba server

usually this address is in the range of 192.168.1.x (e.g: 192.168.1.2) 

I will assume the address is 192.168.1.4

and the samba shared folder is /home/smbshazam 

So first how to access a Linux Samba Server Files from:


From Windows

Start button -> Run (or pressing cmd+R)

Type: \\192.168.1.4\home\smbshazam


From Mac OS

Menu Go -> Connect to server (cmd+K)

In the "Server Address" field, type:

smb://192.168.1.4

and press Connect

then select guest and OK
