To give anyone full access, select ‘Customize permissions’ option and select the everyone group and give it full access. The share is given a name which can be anything.Īfter that set the permission on the resource.
This is how the resources are accessed using the share path. Then browse to the folder you wish to share and select it. Next, select and right-click on Shares, then select ‘New Share…’ To create shared resources in Windows 8, press the Windows Key + X on your keyboard to bring up Windows 8 Tools Menu. Those previous steps enabled filesharing and this post will show you how to create content to share on either machine starting with Windows 8. Then we enabled filesharing on the Windows 8 machine and installed Samba packages in Ubuntu 12.10. In our previous post, we created a workgroup and made both the Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 machines a member of it. So to be able to have Ubuntu users access, edit and modify shared content on the Windows 8 machine, you must first share that particular resource and that’s what this tutorial is going to show you. Because filesharing is of no use if there are no shared resources to be accessed. Now that filesharing is enabled, it’s not time to create shared resources in Windows 8 so users on your Ubuntu machine can access them. Few days ago, we showed you how to enable file sharing between Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 machines.
