Then share your home folder. You can set read only or uncheck that to allow writing to it too. At some point it will ask you if you want to install samba to share files. If you do not plan on using NFS uncheck it. Once you have your share setup, open a terminal window and do this: sudo smbpasswd -L -a [user] sudo smbpasswd -L -e [user] Where [user] is the user who owns the home folder you shared. This activates the user for SMB use. If you run into slow network copying do this in a terminal window: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf then find this "socket options" and make look like below: socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 CNTRL+O to save then CNTRL+X to exit then: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart and you are done.
