Install the Samba packages:

yum install samba -y

Edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following section at the bottom:

[share]
        browsable = yes
        path = /smb
        writable = yes

Save and exit.

Create a user to share the mount point:

useradd shareuser

smbpasswd -a shareuser

Create the directory we're sharing out:

mkdir /smb

Start the smb service:

systemctl start smb

Make sure the client can write to the directory:

chmod 777 /smb

On the client, run:

mkdir /mnt/smb

On the client, install the CIFS utilities:

yum install cifs-utils -y

On the client, run:

mount -t cifs //<IP_OF_SERVER>/share /mnt/smb -o username=shareuser,password=<PASSWORD_SET_WITH_SMBPASSWD>

Install the required package:

yum install nfs-utils -y

Create the mount point that will be served out:

mkdir /nfs

Edit /etc/exports, adding the following line:

/nfs *(rw)

Save and exit the file.

Make sure it's writable:

chmod 777 /nfs

Export the directory we've configured in /etc/exports:

exportfs -a

Start the required services:

systemctl start {rpcbind,nfs-server,rpc-statd,nfs-idmapd}

On the client, install the required package:

yum install nfs-utils -y

Create the mount point:

mkdir /mnt/nfs

Check to see what's being shared out on the NFS server:

showmount -e <NFS_SERVER_IP>

Start the required service:

systemctl start rpcbind

Mount it:

mount -t nfs <NFS_SERVER_IP>:/nfs /mnt/nfs
