File Server

Basic Info

• Web interface at http://files/
• Can also be accessed via samba/SMB with the standard lvl1 credentials.
• ssh is also possible, but there is no safety check for accidentally deleting files this way.

Setting up on Ubuntu

• Prerequisites:

sudo apt-get install autofs smbfs

• create autofs config files
• /etc/auto.master

/mnt   /etc/auto.files    --timeout=6000    --ghost

• /etc/auto.files

z    -fstype=smbfs,credentials=/etc/auto.auth    ://files/shared

• /etc/auto.auth
  • (replace CENSORED with the lvl1 credentials)

username=CENSORED
password=CENSORED

• run the following:

sudo chmod 400 /etc/auto.auth
sudo service autofs restart

• the files share will be mounted in /mnt/z
• to make this easily accessible, run

ln -s /mnt/z ~/Desktop/z
