This time around I'll focus more on Samba and how it is installed and configured to allow for the sharing of files and folders. For this article, we will look at the smb.conf configuration file and how it is set up and how to create new shares and even share printers.

A new big change is being discussed on the Ayatana mailing list: single click for opening files and folders in Ubuntu (not Kubuntu - which already uses single click for opening files and folders).

I always wanted to sync a few folders of my system across all my computers. E.g. the my scripts directory, where I constantly fiddle with my scripts and create new ones, my documents I always want to be able to have and edit everywhere, etc. I would never know where the most current version is without bothersome comparison of the dates.

Some time we need to share files to other systems in our computer center quickly with out any tools in hand. If you have a python installation in your system, file sharing is very simple by implementing a little http server, using a single line command.

Airtime 1.9, the open source radio software, is out now. A new file storage system now allows users to set ‘watch’ folders, to magically synchronise files and to easily browse their audio archives. Add to this Shoutcast support, a one line Ubuntu install command and improved front-end widgets, and Airtime 1.9 is one of Sourcefabric's most feature-packed releases ever.

"The Samba team will soon get the fruits of the EU antitrust suit against Microsoft. Samba is software which allows an operating system to communicate with Microsoft Windows shared folders and printers over a network.

There are times when you want certain information on your computer protected from prying eyes. One way to protect your information is to encrypt your home directory. However, that does not protect your information when you are logged on to your computer. encfs allows you to create an encrypted folder and then mount it as a user filesystem using FUSE.

In my post two weeks ago, I introduced you to KDE’s KIO slaves and gave you a brief overview of the services they offer. One of the KIO protocols is remote:/, which relies on KNetAttach to create virtual network folders. With it, you can create folders for the following services: 1. WebFolder (webdav) 2. FTP 3. Microsoft Windows network drive (using Samba) 4.
