Linux Server

sudo apt install samba smbclient

samba conf backup
sudo cp /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf_backup

Samba users have to exist on the system as well before they are added to samba's user management system.
Add user to samba and create a password for it
sudo smbpasswd -a (user)

Directories can be shared with groups or users.
Make sure to set the owner and group for the directories you want to share.

Sharing with users

[sharename]
   path = (absolute path)
​   read only = no
​   writeable = yes
​   browseable = yes
​   valid users = (user), (user 2), (user 3)
​   create mask = 0660
​   directory mask = 0770

Sharing with groups

Make sure to add all users to the group
The "@" signals samba that this is a group

[sharename] 
   path = (absolute path)
​   read only = no
​   writeable = yes
​   browseable = yes
​   valid users = @(group)
​   create mask = 0660
​   directory mask = 0770

Finally, restart the samba service.
sudo systemctl restart smbd
