chmod 777 shared_folder gives me a message "cannot access, no such file or directory. Is this because im trying to share a folder on an external drive?
Hi, I followed the steps.. It didn't work for me. Even then I took the steps to add a user and windows did ask me for login credentials, but it still did not work. At both times I got the following error message, "Windows cannot acces \\192.168.x.x\guest"
@John Michael Haha! I see your point of view, but personally I bear no hard feelings towards Microsoft. I think that most of their products are quite good tbh. Sure, they like money, but don't we all? ;-)
I've been able to share a folder on the home directory with no problems. I got an additional hard drive and did all the steps 1 to 1 to share a folder on the new drive but my windows machine can't access that folder. I'm really not sure what the problem is. By the way, the original folder I shared is still accessible from my windows machine, it's just the new folder that isn't
I have a ubuntu server 18.04 , file sharing is already enabled , but everyone can see others file kept in central server i want to make a centralised share folder where students can save their file in server with id password. Is this possible , pls suggest Thank you
If Windows is the Samba client (as shown in the video) you don't have to install anything on it. Did you make sure that the two computers share the same network? Can you ping the Linux server from Windows?
@@ReflexGamingMru Try to ping the Linux server from Windows and copy the output to here. Then run “ip address” on Linux and copy the output. Then run ipconfig on Windows and copy the output.
so the shared folder might be in your home/account/testshare this makes windows see the share but not access it. To make this work purely because of this video and as test go to /home and then do chmod 777 account. this makes it so that you can now access it.
hello. ubuntu 18/20: testparm gives "max connections = 0" value but I set the max connections in the smb.conf for 5. I cannot connect because I get error message that I exceeded the allowable connections. I cannot change this max connection value given by testparm no matter what I do with smb.conf. On slackware this is not issue only on ubuntu.what can be problem? thanks
Tbh I don’t really know this specific error but I made an updated tutorial for Samba configuration, you might want to take a look ruclips.net/video/s1cPjRs5qLw/видео.html

@John Michael I don't really understand... what do you mean "Files showing as windows network"?

I have an updated video about Samba installation and configuration, maybe it will be useful

Also add in the smb.conf "writeable = yes"
not open in windows 10 "windows cannot access "?

why is not working in ubuntu server 22.04?
