2.9. Step 9 - Share SavaPage Client Files

SavaPage client files are located in directory /opt/savapage/client. This includes the User Client, SavaPage Printer Driver and JMX related files. It is useful to share this directory over the network so users can use, copy or install the files they need on their workstation. Common sharing methods include:

• Samba - used to share files to Windows based workstations. GUI tools are available on GNU/Linux to help you with sharing the client directory via Samba. However, some system administrators may be more comfortable creating the share by hand-editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. The following configuration will share the directory in read-only form:

  [savapage-client]
  path = /opt/savapage/client
  comment = SavaPage Client
  public = yes
  only guest = yes
  read only = yes
  

• NFS - a popular sharing method used for GNU/Linux and Unix based workstations.

Note

The /opt/savapage/client directory is standard shared via URL path client/. See URL Cheat Sheet.
