How to block unwanted file save on samba share network.

Has been seen quite a few times. users save some such files on the network, which make no sense to use on the network or in the office. And consume space on the network. To prevent all this, we use the veto command in samba share network.

Open your samba conf file
/etc/samba/smb.conf
[root@xyz~]# vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
*
*
*
*
*
[eps$]
        comment = File Server
        path = /home/MainData/epsdata
        read only = No
        create mask = 0750
        directory mask = 0750
        valid user = deven
        admin user = deven
        veto files = /*.msi/*.exe/*.mp3/*.bat/*.com/*.dll/*.lnk/*.asd/*.shb/*.vb/*.wsf/*.wsh/*.pif/*.scr/*.chm/*.hta/*.shs/*.vbs/*.vbe/*.js/*.jse/*.wmv/*.3gp/*.avi/*.mp4/*.ini/*.inf/*.db/
        delete veto files = yes


Add these lines as mentioned.


Now protect your samba share network as you want.
