Ubuntu – How to share files over a Windows network

filesystemnetworkingsambasharing

I have a media computer which I recently reformatted to Ubuntu 10.04. I am probably just missing something obvious but I can't figure out how to share folders and files, so that I can browse to them on my Windows computers in order to copy files to/from the computer.

How do I do this?

Best Answer

Right-click a folder and select "Sharing Options". Then check off "Share this folder".
