Hello,

I would like to install Samba on AROS (specifically ArosOne 64-bit), but I’m not sure where to start. There are two archives available on Aros-Archive. I tried installing the GUI, but it throws errors related to "datatype." Is there perhaps a guide available on how to install Samba?

Best regards,
D

You mean as a client to talk to network shares on Windows? I think this is already working somehow by default in AROS One. Samba is Carlo's preferred way of exchanging data so look into the distribution itself.

@ Bilbo
On AROS One, you can use SMB2, which works very well; AROS One has everything you need.
Once there is compatibility with ABIv1, you'll be able to use the correct version of SMB by configuring it directly in Network Preferences.

I want to exchange data with my home laptop, which has Fedora Linux installed (everything is on the same home network).

So, I take it this is part of the system—where should I start? Is there any documentation available, such as a list of commands, a help section, or a step-by-step guide? Not everyone is a programmer or expected to know everything; apologies if I’ve offended anyone.

There's a video tutorial and all the necessary information on AROS One!

I've attached the video here. In the video tutorial, I used a network drive (you can use a shared folder) on Windows “without needing a password.” If you have a password, you'll need to enter your username and password.

I am trying to set up Samba on AROS, but I am encountering errors. I am not sure what the cause is, so I have attached the configuration file from Fedora, as well as the one from AROS.
Bilbo attached the following image:

Does the shared folder work with other computers on the network?
Move the DOSDrivers SMB2 + Icon to Storage/DOSDrivers
Mounting too quickly can cause an error; SMB2 must be mounted after the network is active.

In my Fedora home directory, there is an 'Aros' directory that acts as a central hub for everything I download, upload, etc., and I have shared it via Samba.

I'm not a Linux expert, but it works fine for me on HostedLinux running on VMware; the only issue was that it required a static IP address instead of the PC name. Did you move it to Storage/DOSDrivers?
