Network sharing

Network sharing in Kubuntu, or Linux in general is easy and only requires very little configuration. Three quick choices are

Samba

Provides file and print services to all SMB/CIFS clients, including Microsoft Windows. Samba is the recommended way to connecting to your Microsoft shares and the easiest to setup and configure.

NFS

Network File System supports sharing of files, printers and resources over a network. NFS is more difficult to setup and configure however it contains extra features and added benefits to an all Linux network.

ZeroConf

Zero Configuration Networking is a system that automatically creates an IP network without configuration or servers. This type of setup allows users without the knowledge of networking to easily configure a simple network.

Samba

If you are using a Windows network, then Samba may be your choice and configuration does not require use of the command line. To start simply press Alt+F2 and type kdesu kwrite /etc/samba/smb.conf and press the Run button. This will open the KWrite text editor. Navigate down just below the Global Settings section to where it says workgroup = MSHOME and change out the MSHOME to match your Windows workgroup. Save the file and close KWrite. The next step is to install Samba. For more information on installation please review the section Adding Applications.

Using the icons located in the Kicker, the terminal looking icon (System Menu) to the immediate right of the KMenu icon will allow you to navigate to Remote Places. Once you have navigated to there, you will be able to access Samba Shares.

For more information, further instructions, or advanced features of Samba please review https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpSamba.

NFS

NFS, or Network File System, is a file system supporting the sharing of files, printers and resources permanently over a network. NFS is much more advanced and difficult than Samba. Considering NFS is a very extensive protocol for file sharing, this portion of the Kubuntu System Documentation will ask you to review the following sites for further information:

ZeroConf Networking

ZeroConf, or Zero Configuration Networking, is a system that automatically creates an IP network without special configurations or servers. This type of networking and sharing is by far the most simple and is targeted to users with little or no networking knowledge.
