[brlug-general] Help my Ubuntu LAMP server with FTP and Samba

[Joe Fruchey]

okay, I've done the following...

aptitude install samba smbfs proftpd

I edited the smb.conf like some site told me to to allow access to my
home dir, but it didn't work. If I type \\wiki from my XP box at work,
I get a login prompt, I log in, but all I see is a 'Printers and
Faxes' share. What gives?

And while Samba is great for at work, I'd like ftp for when I'm at
home. What more do I have to do with proftpd beyond the install? If I
try to ftp from work, I get an 'unknown error,' and from home, I
get...

Any thoughts?
