Trying to setup Wifi Rpi into a Linux Network

[ChrisCr]

Hi
I'm trying to set-up a Wifi Rpi B with a webcam as a remote station and send the resulting snapshots to my home network (Ubuntu 14.04) with Samba, can anybody point me in the right direction, I searched the net but nothing definitive yet .
I can ssh onto the Rpi, and ping to and from, I suspect that I need to include the ssid and password into the samba config. and maybe change the network interface config file.
Already have Xbmc running on another Rpi serving 4 TV's and can view these files in both Ubuntu and Win7 in a VB via Samba

Not quite clear what you are hoping to do here. "Sending" pictures with Samba implies you will mount a share from your Ubuntu box on the Pi, or vice-versa, and have the Pi save pictures onto the shared area. Creating the mount would be just the same as if the Pi were on a wired network, but I would not recommend it over wireless. It is likely to be slow and unstable. For capturing images, use wired if at all possible.

I have a Pi at home capturing webcam images. Rather than have the Pi send the images to my main server (also a web server), I just have Apache ion the Pi and view them direct, with a port forwarded from my router. Appreciate this isn't what you asked for.

Putting Wi-Fi SSID and password into a Samba config file will achieve nothing.

If you can ping to and from the RPi over Wi-Fi then the Wi-Fi is working.

Why not just scp them from Pi to Ubuntu?

Samba is for windows to share *nix mounts, for *nix to *nix use NFS

Done and dusted. Have my cheap web cam (6 euro) up and running with network access all thanks to this forum the link is http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18314. This gave me the solution I needed. Next step is to save my videos to Google Drive or Dropbox.
Thanks to all replies.
