  1. Open Nautilus in root: Type gksudo nautilus<\/strong> in the terminal or Alt-F2 (run dialog). This is due to the fact that nautilus will not allow you to create shares without the root account.<\/li>\n
  2. Navigate to the folder you want to share. Right click the folder and select Properties. Then click on the share tab.<\/li>\n
  3. Check the checkbox that is labeled “Share this folder”. Type your share name in the “Share name” textbox. When you are done, click “Modify Share” to apply your settings.<\/li>\n
  4. Close ‘root’ nautilus.<\/li>\n
  5. The folder should now be shared. Check by going to Places => Network on your menu bar and typing in smb:\/\/localhost\/<\/strong> in the address bar.<\/li>\n
  6. (Note)<\/strong><\/em> If you cannot get into your share even though you typed in correct username and password information, it may be that you have not set a samba password. Do this by typing smbpasswd<\/strong> in the terminal. Enter your Ubuntu login password when it asks for a password.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
