The Big Ol' Ubuntu Security Resource - IT Security. Simple Home File Server (Based On Ubuntu. Version 1.0 Author: Xam Last edited 01/20/2008 This tutorial explains how to turn an old PC with additional hard disks into a simple home file server. The file server is intended for home use. The home file server is accessible by Windows and Linux computers in the home network. The existing tutorials do not describe how to add additional disks or have a complex authorization or access procedure. Freenas (www.freenas.org) does have too many features for home users and more important it does not support the NTFS format. This Home File Server can work with hard disks formatted in NTFS.
The server is built with Ubuntu Server 7.10 & Samba. I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. 1 Requirements The hard disks for data storage in the file server must be formatted in the NTFS format. I assume that you already know how to install a hard drive. 2 Preliminary Note 3 The Base System Insert your Ubuntu install CD into your system and boot from it. 30 Free Linux Games - Download your Favorite | A New Morning.
