    Samba share

    Hello,

    I would like to share one linux folder and have access from W11 PC. I have Ubuntu server, running on Proxmox VM. I am new linux user and probably doing something wrog. Please can you advice me?

    I do as follow:




    1. Install Samba

    Code:
    1. sudo apt-get update
    2. sudo apt-get install samba
    Seems, samba is running

    2.) Set a password for me (my user name is rev)
    Code:
    1. sudo smbpasswd -a rev
    3.) I set myself as owner and also allow for now all permissions: Folder I want to share is filmy

    4.) Edit the file "/etc/samba/smb.conf"
    Code:
    sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
    I added to the end:

    Please don't use external links for relatively tiny files. I have no idea where those lead and will not click on them.
    When posting text here, please wrap that text in "code" tags, so the whitespace is retained. Often, for terminal/CLI commands, this will make it much more readable.

    Please don't make it hard to help you.

    Hello,

    Originally, I posted all monitor screens here, but was over limit. So, I compressed all pictures but still over limit and in addition, was not readable in some cases.

    All commands are in code tags from beginning.

    Sorry if I I angry you in some way, but I did my best to describe and post thread as best as I could.

    Re: Samba share

    On the Windows machine try to connect to \\ip.addr.of.server, e.g., \\10.10.10.10. It may be a name resolution problem.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.

    Hi,

    thank you very much. That was it!

    In all guides, I visited, there was written to always use whole path to shared folder.

    Thank you one more time,
    R.
