Configure NFS Server to share directories on your Network. This example is based on the environment below. NFS stands for Network File System, helps you to share files and folders between Linux Unix systems, developed by SUN Microsystems in 1990. We suggest you read through our special series on setting up Samba. Active Directory Domain Controller, which includes critical topics for Ubuntu, Cent. OS, and Windows. Install Samba. Cent. OS 7. 1. First install Samba. Cent. OS repositories using the yum package manager tool as shown. Install Samba. 4 on Cent. OS 7. 2. After installing the samba packages, enable samba services to be allowed through system firewall with these commands. In order to Unzip to Extract Zip File on Linux RHEL 67, CentOS 67 and Oracle Linux 67, you have to install the unzip or zip utility. Open Samba on Firewalld. Check Windows Machine Workgroup Settings. Before you proceed to configure samba, make sure the Windows machine is in the same workgroup to be configured on the Cent. OS server. There are two possible ways to view the Windows machine workgroup settings Right clicking on This PC or My Computer Properties Advanced system settings Computer Name. Check Windows Work. Group. Alternatively, open the cmd prompt and run the following command, then look for workstation domain in the output as shown below. Verify Windows Work. Group. Configuring Samba. Cent. OS 7. 4. The main samba configuration file is etcsambasmb. But, before configuring samba, I suggest you to take a backup of the default file like this. Then, proceed to configure samba for anonymous and secure file sharing services as explained below. Samba. 4 Anonymous File Sharing. First create the shared directory where the files will be stored on the server and set the appropriate permissions on the directory. R 0. 77. 5 srvsambaanonymous. R nobody nobody srvsambaanonymous. Also, you need to change the SELinux security context for the samba shared directory as follows. Create Samba Shared Directory. Next, open the samba configuration file for editing, where you can modifyadd the sections below with the corresponding directives. Samba Configuration Settingsglobal. WORKGROUP. netbios name centos. Anonymous File Server Share. Now verify current samba settings by running the command below. Verify Samba Current Configuration Settings. Load smb config files from etcsambasmb. Windows limit 1. Processing section homes. Processing section printers. Processing section print. Processing section Anonymous. Loaded services file OK. Server role ROLESTANDALONE.

Printer Drivers. path varlibsambadrivers. Anonymous File Server Share. Finally, start and enable samba services to start automatically at next boot and also apply the above changes to take effect. Testing Anonymous Samba File Sharing. Now on the Windows machine, open Network from a Windows Explorer window, then click on the Cent. OS host, or else try to access the server using its IP address use ifconfig command to get IP address. Shared Network Hosts. Next, open the Anonymous directory and try to add files in there to share with other users. Samba Anonymous Share. Add Files to Samba Anonymous Share. Setup Samba. 4 Secure File Sharing. First start by creating a samba system group, then add users to the group and set a password for each user like so. G smbgrp. smbpasswd a tecmint. Then create a secure directory where the shared files will be kept and set the appropriate permissions on the directory with SELinux security context for the samba. R 0. 77. 0 srvsambasecure. R root smbgrp srvsambasecure. Next open the configuration file for editing and modifyadd the section below with the corresponding directives. Samba Secure Configuration SettingsSecure. Secure File Server Share. Again, verify the samba configuration settings by running the following command. Verify Secure Configuration Settings. Load smb config files from etcsambasmb. Windows limit 1. Processing section homes. Processing section printers. Processing section print. Processing section Anonymous. Loaded services file OK. Server role ROLESTANDALONE. Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions. Global parameters. USER. idmap config backend tdb. Home Directories. No. inherit acls Yes. Mac Os X Update Combined Can T Be Installed On This Disk Is Offline there. S DwS. comment All Printers. No. printable Yes. Printer Drivers. path varlibsambadrivers. Anonymous File Server Share. Secure File Server Share. Restart Samba services to apply the changes. Testing Secure Samba File Sharing. Go to Windows machine, open Network from a Windows Explorer window, then click on the Cent. OS host, or else try to access the server using its IP address. Youll be asked to provide your username and password to login the Cent. OS server. Once you have entered the credentials, click OK.

OS and other Linux systems as well as Windows machines. Share any thoughts with us via the comment section below. NFS Server and Client Installation on Cent. OS 7. This guide explains how to configure an NFS server on Cent. OS 7. Network File System NFS is a popular distributed filesystem protocol that enables users to mount remote directories on their server. NFS lets you leverage storage space in a different location and allows you to write onto the same space from multiple servers or clients in an effortless manner. It, thus, works fairly well for directories that users need to access frequently. This tutorial explains the process of mounting an NFS share on a Cent. OS 7. 0 server in simple and easy to follow steps. Preliminary Note. I have fresh installed Cent. OS 7 server, on which I am going to install the NFS server. My Cent. OS server have hostname server. IP as 1. 92. 1. 68. If you dont have a Cent. OS server installed yet, use this tutorial for the basic operating system installation. Additionally to the server, we need a Cent. OS 7 client machine, this can be either a server or desktop system. In my case, I will use a Cent. OS 7 desktop with hostname  client. IP 1. 92. 1. 68. 0. I will run all the commands in this tutorial as root user. At NFS server end. As the first step, we will install these packages on the Cent. OS server with yum yum install nfs utils. Now create the directory that will be shared by NFS mkdir varnfsshare. Change the permissions of the folder as follows chmod R 7. We use varnfsshare as shared folder, if we use another drive such as the home directory, then the permission chnges will cause a massive permissions problem and ruin the whole hierarchy. So in case we want to share the home directory then permissions must not be changed. Next, we need to start the services and enable them to be started at boot time. Now we will share the NFS directory over the network a follows nano etcexports. We will make two sharing points  home and varnfsshare. Edit the exports file as follows varnfsshare 1. Note 1. 92. 1. 68. IP of client machine, if you wish that any other client should access it you need to add the it IP wise other wise you can add instead of IP for all IP access. Condition is that it must be pingable at both ends. Finally, start the NFS service systemctl restart nfs server. Again we need to add the NFS service override in Cent. OS 7 firewall cmd public zone service as firewall cmd permanent zonepublic add servicenfsfirewall cmd permanent zonepublic add servicemountdfirewall cmd permanent zonepublic add servicerpc bindfirewall cmd reload. Note If it will be not done, then it will give error for Connection Time Out at client side. Now we are ready with the NFS server part. NFS client end. In my case, I have a Cent. OS 7 desktop as client. Other Cent. OS versions will also work the same way. Install the nfs utild package as follows yum install nfs utils. Now create the NFS directory mount points mkdir p mntnfshomemkdir p mntnfsvarnfsshare. Next, we will mount the NFS shared home directory in the client machine as shown below mount t nfs 1. It will mount home of NFS server. Next we will mount the varnfsshare directory mount t nfs 1. Now we are connected with the NFS share, we will crosscheck it as follows df khemail protected df kh.

G   3. 3M   1. 9G   1 mntnfshomeemail protected So we are connected with the NFS share. Now we will check the readwrite permissions in the shared path. At client enter the command touch mntnfsvarnfssharetestnfs. So we successfully configured an NFS share. Permanent NFS mounting. We have to re mount the NFS share at the client after every reboot. Here are the steps to mount it permanently by adding the NFS share in etcfstab file of client machine nano etcfstab. Add the entries like this. Note 1. 92. 1. 68. NFS share  IP address, it will vary in your case. This will make the permanent mount of the NFS share. Now you can reboot the machine and mount points will be permanent even after the reboot. Cheers, now we have a successfully configured NFS server over Cent. OS 7 5 Linksview as pdf print.
