Samba provides access to the files on your B3 through the SMB/CIFS protocol. This is the network file protocol invented and used by Microsoft Windows, but can also be accessed from Linux and Mac computers.
Samba support CIFS Unix extensions which means support for Unix file permissions and ownership info is available when mounting a CIFS share on a Linux System.
The default configuration shares the following:
| Share | Path | Access |
|---|---|---|
| storage | /home/storage | everyone in your network can read and write files here |
| home | /home/<username> | users created through the webinterface can access this personal home directory, only the user itself has access |
If you want to change how Samba makes your files accessible, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
