Share a folder to an Ubuntu client?

I have an old PC notebook on which I installed Ubuntu Linux. (It's not OSX but it's much better than Windoze.) My iMac (running 10.5.6) is sharing my account's Public folder but, from any other Mac, I can log in as me and access the entire hard drive.
I'd like to do the same from my Ubuntu machine but I only see my Public folder and I'm never asked for my password. I do have Windows file sharing turned on in the iMac. I tried sharing my entire iMac HD but, again, no authentication is ever asked yet I can see into almost all the folders in the HD but not into my Desktop nor Documents and many others simply report they're empty.
I don't understand why the Ubuntu machine even lets me mount my iMac's HD without asking for authentication. This is why I'm asking the question here rather than over at the Ubuntu forums. I did see something over there about having to enable (or install) NFS support on the iMac.
Advice and suggestions gratefully accepted.
Thanks!

D-oh! The answer was to use the "Connect to Server" item in the "Places" menu, select "Windows Share" from the popup, fill in the IP address, the name of the share point (my hard drive name), and click the "Connect" button. A dialog appears and asks for the password (and assumes you belong to "WORKGROUP" which is true unless you're on a domain).
Kinda like OSX in a seductively friendly way...

    I want to share a folder of images with a client who is also using bridge. I want the client to be able to edit metadata and rate the image. How can I do this?

    Metadata won't be a problem as long as you use Bridge to copy the file from within Bridge to whatever media (flash drive, CD/DVD. email, etc) you plan to use for the sharing.
    I'm not sure about the Label part.  Maybe it will travel along too.

  • How do I share a folder over the internet with Mountain Lion server?

    I am new to using formal servers.  In Snow Leopard I was able to use web sharing to serve a small website and if I wanted to share a folder with someone I would  just provide the person I wanted to share a file with the path to the file inside the sites directory.  With Mountain Lion this functionality was removed from the sharing section of system preferences.
    I purchased mountain lion server and was able to restore the website serving ability, but I haven't been able to figure out how to share a folder.  I am still looking over what documentation I can find, but for the most part it just tells me to set up the services without telling me how.  Any assistance would be helpful.  Networking is not my area of expertise.
    Best Regards,
    David Finell

    I purchased server to assist with this as I am unfamiliar with the command line protocols for using apache.  Because of the UNIX architechture of OSX and I presume apache, I am uncomfortable using the command line for fear of causing serious problems.
    Unfortunately, the documentation that I have seen for mountain lion server is wanting in either its completeness or layout/functionability.  To summarize the server instructions as I understand them.  It just says to configure it and my system to meet my requirements without telling me how.
    I am confident that both the apache command line and server are capable of accomplishing what I was able to do before under snow leopard.  I just haven't figured out how.
    I was able to provide a link to family and clients like http://ipaddress/~user/folder
    This no longer works.

  • How to share an unpublished folio with a client to review?

    I am designing a DPS single edition publication for a client. Is there a way for me to share the unpublished folio with the client if they do not have an Adobe Creative Cloud account or an Adobe ID? If they just need to signup for an Adobe ID, what else do I (or they) need to do so that they are able to signin to the Adobe Content Viewer and see the unpublished folio?

    They need an iPad, the Adobe Content Viewer and a free Adobe ID.
    You share the folio via the folio builder panel to that ID.
    That's it. When the client signs into the Content Viewer the folio will
    be available for download.

  • How can I share a folder between two users on the same mac?

    Hi all,
    I would like to share a folder between multiple users on the same macbook without having to transfer the folder to the Public/Shared folder.
    Is there not a way, using the the folders shared permissions, to allow shared folders from one user to be visible and usable by another user on the same mac without having to move the folder to a designated shared location?
    Regards,
    Caleb

    No, you just need to do it once and that's it. Anything that is in the Shared folder is accessible by all user accounts within the same Mac.

  • How can I share a folder between two users on the same iMac?

    I have an iMac with 2 user accounts and I want to share a folder between them. I have gone on to system preferences>sharing and turned on file sharing. I have also got the 'Get Info' thing up, selected 'Shared Folder' and added the other user to the read and write permissions...it just doesn't show up on the other desktop (the folder is on my desktop, I would have expected to see it on the other desktop...?)
    Any ideas?

  • Unable to share a folder with specific users

    Hi,
    I'm attempting a seemingly simple task on my home network of 4 computers. I want to share a folder located on one computer, called PC1, with another computer called PC2 with full read/write permission. All other machines on the network are not to have access
    to this folder. Both machines are running Windows 7.
    On PC2, I am able to see the shared folder under Networks but if I try to open it, I keep getting a 'You do not have permission to access...' error. The following are the steps I've taken to set up the network share.
    Both machines are on the same workgroup.
    Both machines are on the home network, not work/public.
    Turned off homegroup on both machines in Advanced Networking Properties by selecting "Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers".
    Created a standard non-admin user account on PC1 that has the same username/password as the admin login used to log into PC2.
    On PC1, right-clicked the folder I want to share and added the above user account to both the Sharing and Security tabs.
    Removed the Everyone group in PC1 from both the Sharing and Security tab for the shared folder.
    If I am missing a step, please let me know. I have noticed that if I add  the Everyone group back to the Sharing and Security tab for the shared folder on PC1, I am able to have full access from PC2. However, since I want to restrict access
    to this folder to only one machine, I didn't want to have the Everyone group listed.

  • How do I share a folder on mac mini with other macs in the network?

    Howdy all!
    The scenario I have in mind is that I have one folder in our Mac Mini (used as Home Theater) with all the family's music files on it. The rest of the family would be able to access the folder and copy the music they prefer onto their own computers (iMacs and Macbooks). The other computers would have read only access, they would not be able to alter the contents of the original file (to prevent accidental deletion). Only the user of the Mini Home Theater could alter the contents of said file.
    I have tried pulling up the "Get Info" window and clicking the "Shared Folder" and "Locked" boxes, but all this seems to do is make the user of the Mac Mini unable to alter the contents of the folder. All the other macs on the network can access and alter the folder contents no problem.
    What am I missing?
    Thank you for any advice you can give!

    This isn't quite what I was looking for. I don't want to share the folder with users on the same computer--I want to share the folder with users on other computers.
    Unless there is some way to identify users on other computers. How can I do that?

  • How do I share a folder permanently to guest user - no internet connection

    Hi, sorry but ive tried looking everywhere and cannot find the answer.
    Im the main user and admin of my macbook pro, I have also set up a guest account so any user can login with no password and use the computer.
    However, I would like to permanently share 1 folder I have with movies and pictures with the guest account.
    I know I can enable folder sharing through the internet, but I dont want that, I all I want is to allow access to one of my folders and make it visible to the guest account.
    Is this possible or do you have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hi Clinton thanks for your answer.. But it does not work for me. I put the folder under: Users > Shared Folder
    and I still cant see it when I log in to the guest session.
    I attached 2 screenshots.. Screen 1 shows how I placed the folder "movies" in the shared folder on my main account and Screen 2 shows you what I see when I log in as Guest.
    Please let me know if Im doing something wrong,
    Thanks,

  • Command to share a folder with hyphens

    I need to share a folder via cmd for use in a batch file hence the %computername% part. The file is %computername%-scan and is located in the root of c drive and will be shared with a share name of %computername% where %computername% is the pc's hostname to
    a local user which i used in administrator mode.
    net share %computername%=c:\"%computername%-scan" /GRANT:scan,CHANGE
    I used the above command to share it but it is not successful. However, if i remove the -scan from the filename and the command with the quote marks,the sharing works. Is there a special option for sharing a folder with symbols and characters?

    Hello,
    Try this this will work....
    net share %computerName%=C:\%computerName%-Scan /GRANT:UserName,CHANGE

    How to configure Team explorer 2010 command-line tool in Mac x os.
    Hot to configure shell or system path to include the folder to which (TF client) unzipped archive available. I am new to Mac X OS. Please help.

    Dmitry,
    Thanks for the great writeup!
    I think I've got my universal instant client libraries built correctly.
    I too am using MacBook Pro but I'm getting stuck at building the 32 bit oci8.so
    First problem is my pecl download (ver 1.4.1) did not contain a "configure" file so ./configure failed.
    I used configure from /sw/....... to try to continue.
    Second problem. Using existing configure from /sw/.... I used an appropriate variation of your example command
    (./configure --with-oci8=instantclient,/usr/local/oracle/instantclient_10_2 && make).
    Things look like everything ran OK but The output does NOT include an oci8.so file
    So I guess my question is: Which "configure" should I be using? And if it is not the one on the system under /sw/...
    where would I get it since it doesn't come in the pecl download?

  • How do I share one folder on iCloud Drive

    Me and my wife have different AppleID. We are going paperless and want to share one folder either on my or her iCloud Drive.
    Using a mutual Dropbox account today but want to be inside Apples ECO-system.
    Called Apple and they told me not possible. Are they correct?

    AsI said - you have to open the application folders and delete the documents  inside - for each folder separately. And wait for these changes to sync.
    The folders themselves cannot be deleted, only their content.
    The iCloud setting for the applications are device specific. If you enabled an app for iCloud on any device, you will see the application collection in iCloud, even if you disable it on other devices.
    If one disables the apps in the iCoud System Preferences, their folders disappear in the finder but are still in the cloud -- and there is a big pile of other garbage.
    First delete the documents in the folders, until they are empty on iCloud, then hide the folders on your devices by disabling the app in the "Manage my storage" iCloud preferences.
    I want to reliably delete ALL data (including any folders or metadata Apple lets us not see) -- a complete reset for iCloud Drive
    You can only delete documents you move to iCloud drive, not Apple's maintenance files.
    And you can only reset each device individually, that is using iCloud Drive, by disabling iCloud Drive, rebooting, signing in again. But you cannot reset the central storage in iCloud.
    - and there is a big pile of other garbage.
    What kind of other garbage, beside the application collections?
