I found the file and tried to edit it but because I wasn't logged in as root it wouldn't save. So I opened up the terminal and typed:
"sudo gedit /ect/samba/smb.conf"
and tried to add the line that way, but it still won't save and gives the the error message
"could not save the file /ect/samba/smb.conf unexpected error file not found"
I feel like there must be something I'm missing here but I can't figure it out. I'm still learning the terminal so maybe that's part of it.
Basically all I want to do is mount this drive on boot up and share it over my network. Can someone break it down for me and tell me what I need to do? I'd really appreciate any help I can get. Thanks!
You have a typo in the address. It should be /etc/ ....
Also, when using graphical apps, use 'gksudo' rather than sudo:
Code:
gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
