sudo addgroup developers

3) Add User to Group

sudo adduser developer developers

4) Give permission to that folder to the user group

chown -R developer:developers /var/www/foldername

5) Now we have to check whether we installed samba in the computer
Try running this code , If its alreday installed then no pblm.. otherwise install.

sudo apt-get install samba

6) Now in the terminal type like this:-

gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
