Equipment of the project


Block Diagram


Flow diagram


Step 1 Boot the SD card

Step 2 Install the OS

Step 3 writing the commands

Step 4 Sharing is possible in LAN

Implementations


• Update apt-get and install NTFS-3g

• Find out what path your external drive is located at (ex. /dev/sda1).

• Mount the external drive to the media folder and then make a shared folder within it.

• Install the Samba software.

• Edit the Samba config file.

• Restart Samba

• Add a new user to linux

Commands


• Files can be shared in LAN

• Storage can be Obtained

• One can secure its file in the network.

Application


• IP must be open.

• Internet connection must be fast.

• Networking/ sharing is possible in cellular phones through the same network.

• Security can be enhanced.
