Install and configure an FTP server in CentOS 7.
With the open end we will follow the steps. First baixaremos the required packages . For this type :
# yum update vsf*
We’ll be getting new updates packages only FTP service, which in Linux is known as vsftpd .
Made the update will go to the next step , which is the installation of the FTP service. For this type :
# yum install vsftpd
To appear like the screen below , press the Y button to accept and continue the installation.
After installation we will have to start the FTP service. For this type :
Centos 6:
# service vsftpd start
Centos 7 :
#systemctl start vsftpd
Ready , installed and started the FTP service. Now we can perform tests to see the operation of the service. It’s time to create a username and password to connect to your FTP server , for this type :
useradd
Example:
# useradd test
Let’s create the password for the user. which in my case is test :
# passwd test
You will be asked for you to enter a password and click on you are asked to repeat the password. After that, we have created the username and password released to access the FTP server.
Now we switch to the user created . For this type primarily the following command to log in as user test :
# su - test
Create a folder within this user :
# mkdir Softwares
Remember that Linux is case sensitive, so if you type the first letter capitalized , remember to type correctly later.
Okay, now we need to know the number of IP address that is on your computer in order to make the FTP connection.
Easy Samba installation on RHEL/CentOS 7
Samba is a client/server system that implements network resource sharing for Linux and other UNIX computers. With Samba, UNIX files and printers can be shared with Windows clients and vice versa. Samba supports the Session Message Block (SMB) protocol. Nearly all Windows computers include SMB support with their internal network subsystems (NetBIOS in particular).
With an appropriately-configured Samba server on Linux, Windows clients can map drives to the Linux filesystems. Likewise, theSamba client on UNIX can connect to Windows shares by their UNC name. Although differences among various operating systems (such as filesystem naming conventions, end-of-line conventions, and authentication) can limit interoperability, Samba offers a generally serviceable mechanism for resource sharing on a heterogenous network.
In this tutorial we will show you how to install and configure Samba server on RHEL and CentOS 7 linux.
Install and configure Samba on Rhel/CentOS 7
To install samba packages enter following command:
#yum install samba samba-client samba-common -y
Now configure samba edit the file /etc/samba/smb.conf
#mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bkp #vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
and paste following line:
[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba Server %v netbios name = centos security = user map to guest = bad user dns proxy = no #============================ Share Definitions ============================== [Anonymous] path = /samba/anonymous browsable =yes writable = yes guest ok = yes read only = no
Save the smb.conf file and restart the service:
#mkdir -p /samba/anonymous #systemctl enable smb.service #systemctl enable nmb.service #systemctl restart smb.service #systemctl restart nmb.service
Add these Iptables rules, so that samba will work perfectly:
#firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=samba #firewall-cmd --reload
Change permission for samba share:
#chmod -R 0755 anonymous/ #chown -R nobody:nobody anonymous/
Further we need to allow the selinux for the samba configuration as follows:
#chcon -t samba_share_t anonymous/
Now you can access the Centos 7.0 sharing in windows as follows, go to the Run prompt and type \centos :
Acesse \\centos
Now anonymous user can browse & create new text documents:
Secured samba server
For this I will create a group smbgrp & user rasho to access the samba server with proper authentication
#useradd rasho #groupadd smbgrp #usermod -a -G smbgrp rasho #smbpasswd -a rasho
[root@localhost]# smbpasswd -a rasho New SMB password: YOUR SAMBA PASS Retype new SMB password: REPEAT YOUR SAMBA PASS Added user rasho.
Create a new share, set the permission on the share:
#mkdir /home/secure #chown -R rasho:smbgrp /home/secure/ #chmod -R 0770 /home/secure/ #chcon -t samba_share_t /home/secure/
Again edit the configuration file as :
#vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
Add the newly created samba share in smb.conf file:
[Secure] path = /home/secure valid users = @smbgrp guest ok = no writable = yes browsable = yes
Restart the samba service:
#systemctl restart smb.service #systemctl restart nmb.service
Now at windows machine check the folder now with the proper credentials
Open samba sharing
Create new text documents:
That is all!
