Ubuntu<\/strong>, for its part, offers a good out of the box<\/strong> configuration to share<\/strong> any folder with guest access in a simple and graphical way, although when you want to share through a user or change the workgroup<\/strong>, there is nothing left to do the console.<\/p>\n

The following four points summarize the steps to share resources from Ubuntu 16.04<\/strong> through Samba<\/strong>, as explained by Muy Linux<\/strong> <\/a> for a guest to access these resources, as well as how to change the workgroup<\/strong> in case of using WORKGROUP, which is configured by default in both Samba and Windows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

1- Installing Samba on Ubuntu<\/p>\n

2- Sharing a folder for guest access<\/p>\n

3- What happens when the guest writes over the shared folder<\/p>\n

4- How to change the workgroup<\/p>\n

Today, the only graphical tool that is reliable for configuring Samba<\/strong> is Yast, but this is exclusive to openSUSE and SUSE<\/strong>, so in other distributions one is forced to configure the
