hiii, i am using SUSE11.0 in my laptop, I used to connect other system in my college network through WiFi. In windows i found share option in dropdown list of every folder, but i can't such options in my SUSE linux.
how to share files and folders using commands ??
You would need to be a little more specific. How do you want to "share" these files, or in other words, what protocol do you want to use? Are you transferring files with Windows systems or with Linux/Unix systems?
i am using linux , i want to share my files in linux to the other friends who are using windows. i.e. i want to transfer from my linux system to windows systems. Regarding protocols , i thinks it is 802.11
I don't know exactly which packages you need to install in Suse, but they will probably be: samba, smbfs, samba-common. (Somebody using Suse will need to verify it)
Here is a guide how to set it up then. You might also want to google some Suse-specific tutorials.
hi friends, i am using Fedora 10.0. I too used to connect other systems through WiFi. I want to share my files to others. How to make a file share ? what are the commands to make a folder or file sharable ?
For Suse go to Yast and find the Samba-Server icon. It will ask you a few questions for configuration and load the approapriate software (packages).
This will also determine the level of access for others.
In Yast there is also a module about Windows-Domains. Try this to help getting access to other servers.
(packages). I dont know about fedora, but if you dont have yast - after installation you configure it with a file called smb.conf. Install the samba packages and learn about smb.conf.
Apologies for the vague guidance but I fought these battles years ago and can't remember now.

It's likely the necessary packages/RPMs were installed by default. But you might check those and a general intro to Samba here: A Suse/openSUSE/Windows Network Primer
