Installing & Configuring Samba on CentOS 7 Droplet

Posted on September 7, 2015

Hello, I am a newb to this and CentOS in general. I am trying to setup Samba on my Droplet for file sharing with some Windows machines but all the material that I am finding on the web gives me more concerns than it solves. Is there any guide available to show me how to set this up safely on the Digital Ocean platform?
