When you are customizing MindTouch you'll want to be able to easily drag and drop files from your windows environment into the root directory to apply changes. In order connect to Mindtouch via Windows Explorer you need to use Samba, which comes installed on the MindTouch WM. More information about Samba can be found at Wikipedia and the official Samba website.
Here is how you configure Samba:
1. Log in as the root user.
2. Create a Samba password for the root user:
smbpasswd -a root
NOTE: if you want to use the root password use the same password that you have for your root password account.
3. Update the Samba configuration file (/etc/samba/smb.conf):
Enter the following to open the file in nano, which is a text editor:
nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Make sure the following line is commented out:
;invalid users = root
4. Restart Samba: /etc/init.d/samba restart
If your host operating system is Windows Vista
If Windows Vista is your host operating system, you will want to update Samba to a more recent version to avoid a glitch that slows transfer to a trickle. Run the following code to update Samba:
apt-get update && apt-get install samba samba-common samba-client
