This is exactly where SMBUp comes in play вЂ“ it does it all for you.Keep in mind that at the time of this writing, SMBUp is mainly aimed atВ getting a SMB server going вЂ“ i.e. And it does.As with most of these type of applications, a lot of command-line work might be involved and for the average user I do not consider this a good option. So IвЂ™m leaving that behind as an option as well.A better trick would be to actually install Samba 3.0, after all itвЂ™s freely available, and should run on a Mac. With NFS I have zero experience, and Windows users would need a special client application for that (requires a Windows Enterprise edition), if even available.

Avoid lengthy names, special characters and spaces!The next step is to add users вЂ“ which is based on the users that already exist on your Mac.Since IвЂ™m assuming a simple share, IвЂ™ve used my own user account, but you could of course create an account specifically for this purpose.Click вЂњ Manage UsersвЂќ and select the user youвЂ™d like to add.Enter the password and click вЂњ Add userвЂњ, rinse and repeat if needed for other users вЂ“ for a simple share youвЂ™ll only need one user, specially when вЂњguest accessвЂќ will be allowed.Now that we have at least one user, time to add the folder or drive we would like to share вЂ“ this can be on the internal harddisk of your Mac or on an external drive.Click вЂњ Add new Shared DriveвЂќ and select the drive or folder youвЂ™d like to share.After selecting your drive or folder, you will see something like this:This is a very nice post and a fantastic tutorial for SMBUp. IвЂ™m just super grateful that SMBUp exists!First thing I did was to clickВ the padlock in the upper left corner to unlock it вЂ“ youвЂ™ll have to enter your password here.Next thing I did, which is optional, was to enter a name in the вЂњ NameвЂќ field that made sense to me. We will just focus on sharing a folder or drive on your Mac with other devices, for example my Amazon Fire TV withВ Kodi/XBMC can accessВ media that resides onВ my MacBook Pro.If you completed step 2, youвЂ™ll be looking at a window like this one:And this is where things became confusing for me вЂ“ which can be totally my failure of course. SMBUp has tons of configuration settings and options. Step 3 вЂ“ Configure SMBUpNow keep in mind, this is the short and quick version.

Apple used Samba until Samba changed licenses to one incompatible with AppleвЂ™s policies. ThereвЂ™s no need to open SMBUp unless you want to do changes, start/stop the service or check the status.-The Protocol is called SMB (or CIFS) and is owned by Microsoft, вЂњSambaвЂќ is an open source implementation of this protocol. If when you open SMBUp the вЂњLEDвЂќ is green, then Samba was already running. Most of these are covered in the FAQ linked in the App page, but that tends to be missed.-SMBUp, as you outlined, doesnвЂ™t start with the OS, but the Samba services should. Most come from the fact the SMBUp tries to do some stuff that wasnвЂ™t designed to be automated in a front-end, especially for automations on OS X.

Luckily thisвЂ™ll mean newer devices will add more support to this than legacy protocols (NFS and AFP) or force deprecated versions of existing ones (SMB with Samba). SMBUp installs samba, not being limited by AppleвЂ™s policies.-Apple not only added SMB2 support into Lion and later, but seem to be promoting it as their preferred format (as Ex-FAT is being promoted vs FAT32). Apple canвЂ™t include Samba any more, and that would be the only way to support all the devices out there that use it. Depends on whatвЂ™s connecting and how. This is the reason OS XвЂ™s shares sometimes work sand sometimes donвЂ™t. Most devices out there use samba, too, so they support old-school SMB.

The FAQ contains steps to create one of these вЂњSharing-only usersвЂќ.-Dragging folders onto the list can add them quickly. In those cases SMBUp will complain that a specific user canвЂ™t be used and a new one should be. Since the application checks for version updates I have a rough idea of its usage and installations and the lack of donations became the main reason no further updates to SMBUp were made after the current (stable) one (which is the point when the application became 100% useable for me, so I donвЂ™t need added functionality for it).-On adding users: In some rare cases OS X has the existing users with a recursive tree of groups that makes Samba choke.

If every user would donate a buck, it would cover my time and server expenses.I try to donate where I can as well вЂ“ for apps that I use all the time. But I would say that is maybe 1 in 25,000 users вЂ¦ which is a shame. IвЂ™m very grateful that some users actually take the time to donate. I develop some apps myself as well, even though they might not be the most significant apps in the world, working on them consumes a lot of time. IвЂ™ll admit that IвЂ™ve overlooked the SMBUp FAQ initially as well, hence the link at the end of the article haha вЂ¦YouвЂ™re most welcome when it comes to the donation reminder.

You might have to experiment with those settings. Or vice versa of course.For a share, in SMBUp, click вЂњAdvanced Server ConfigurationвЂќ and look for these options:вЂњClient NTLM v2 AuthвЂќ, вЂњclient PlainText AuthвЂќ, вЂњNTLM AuthвЂќ. I would like to have the shares showing up whenever the computer starts, even without any user account being logged in, how can I attain that?As an example, if I try to start SAMBA3 over the command line with these two commands I see that samba processes are started but the shares are not available and if I fire up SMBUp I see the red dot of services not started.Sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.samba.smbd.plistSudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.samba.nmbd.plistIf one Mac uses SMBUp and the otherone uses Apple SMB, then you could look into this:It could be that your WDTV uses the older NTLM authentication method and might not support the newer types (yet).In simple words: the old NTLM authentication shares the password as regular text, whereas the newer versions encrypt the password вЂ“ which cause the older NTLM to think itвЂ™s the wrong password as it does not know how to decrypt it. Adding it to login items will mean I must be logged into the account to have the shares working.I see Samba3 files (config files and launch scritps) are installed and could play a bit with them on command line, but my Shares will only show up once I fire up SMBup. SMBUp solves it except for the issue with loosing the shares when the computer starts up.
