It's very easy to set up: takes about two minutes including downloading and installing it.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install samba
[Home]
path = /home/xbmc
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775
force user = xbmc
force group = xbmc
sudo service smbd restart

Code:sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install samba
Then edit the file: /etc/samba/smb.conf
and add the following at the end
Code:[Home]
path = /home/xbmc
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
create mode = 0664
directory mode = 0775
force user = xbmc
force group = xbmc
save the file and
Code:sudo service smbd restart
You should be able to see a xbmc-network share on your windows computer
sudo chown -R [color=red]username[/color] /folder/to/share
sudo chgrp -R [color=red]username[/color] /folder/to/share
