samba - Sep 2018 - Read/Write over LAN Possible?

Hi folks.  Just set up a server, and I put Samba on it for filesharing to my Mac
over the LAN.

I’m a little confused as to what to expect from Samba with regards to LAN
editing of files.  I open a remote text file in my workstation text editor, but
I cannot edit it and save it.  I’m thinking this should be possible, as the Mac
space (my workstation) can do that just fine.  I found this:

"One of the cool things that you can do with a Windows box is use an SMB
file share as if it were a hard disk on your own machine. The N:drive can look,
smell, feel, and act like your own disk space, but it's really disk space on
some other computer somewhere else on the network.”

https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/SambaIntro.html

My question is this:  Can this be accomplished?  If so, what do I have to read
to get this done?  I’m not even sure if this is possible.




Cheers, Bee

LOL apparently the word is “no”.

Yes, it's certainly possible.  Take a look at the samba WiKi at:
https://wiki.samba.org in particular
