9.3 Sharing Folders in Mixed
Environments
Sharing and exchanging documents is a must-have in corporate environments. Konqueror
offers you file sharing with Samba, which makes your files and folders available to
both Linux and Windows users. To configure Samba file sharing with Konqueror,
proceed as follows:
1 Open Konqueror.
2 Right-click the window background then select Properties from the context menu.
3
In the Properties dialog, click the Share tab. When file sharing is not yet gener-
ally enabled, you are informed about this on the tab. To enable file sharing or
select the files to share, click Configure File Sharing and enter the
root
pass-
word.

To enable or disable file sharing, select or deselect Enable Local Network File
Sharing.
