I like working with Zend Studio, although version 8 kinda sucks. Especially when it comes to remote folders.
Anyway, there's still lots of stuff left before my VMware has everything it needs.
Setting up a Samba share was easier than I expected.
sudo apt-get install samba
sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
(if your background in vim is too dark type this: set background=dark)
Change the workgroup name (default is workgroup) to the same as the computer that is going to connect to the Ubuntu server and add an extra entry right below workgroup.
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = name_of_your_server (no spaces)
Scroll down until you see "[homes]":
browseable = yes
writable = yes
Setup samba user. With whoami, it creates the user that is typing in the console at that moment. Meaning you!
sudo smbpasswd -a `whoami`
Done with the Ubuntu part.
From windows you can access it by going to My network places > Entire Network > My Windows Network > Workgroup
Or simply setup a mount drive. Give it a nice letter and enter the path of your Ubuntu server.
