Samba

Jump to: navigation, search

Samba is an Open Source/Free Software suite that provides file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients especially the numerous versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems.

You can access your Netsoc Filestorage from most machines (including the Open Network) in college using Samba. Outside of college you'll have to use WinSCP.

Note

This has a tendancy to break from time to time (especially if you're in Computer Science). If this happens use WinSCP until we figure out how to fix it. Check back on this page for updates.

If you wish to access your files on Matrix, substitute matrix.netsoc.tcd.ie for spoon.netsoc.tcd.ie and 134.226.83.50 for 134.226.83.42.
