path-to-folder/folder - might have to have 777 on the folder - and UID’s might need to match - e.g.
You might have to do some permissions tweaking (e.g. That’s it! Once you’ve edited the file - you run “exportfs” and it’s shared by NFS. path-to-folder/folder *(rw,no_root_squash) But it sounds like you’re shy of the terminal and editing “conf” files (/etc/exports) - so that’s probably not a solution, but the syntax is unbelievably simple e.g. If you’re Linux to Linux - then NFS is the way to go. I loathe samba so much I refuse (mostly) to use it. The GUI share set-up should do whatever is necessary to make the share accessible, don’t you think? Is Windows compatibility the problem? Why don’t we have a GUI based Linux-only app for this? Google Drive is too slow to move a big file collection from one machine to another. conf files, or executing console commands. To share a folder should not require editing of. There have been a few occasions when it worked, but I never know what I did to achieve that.
Ubuntu samba stopped working portable#
So I give up, and use Google Drive, or a portable drive to share files. Then I sit down at the other machine, which recognizes the share, and try to open it, and I almost always get “wrong user name or password” or “you don’t have permission”, or “failed to open”, and so I spend half an hour trying every conceivable variation of parameters I can think of, and still can’t open the folder.
In creating the shared folder I always choose options that allow “anyone to do anything” in that folder. One thing that has annoyed me for a long time is that although “Files” (Nautilus, etc.) makes it very easy to create a SHARED FOLDER, I then find that it is near impossible to access that folder from another Linux machine on the same local network.
I have been using Ubuntu-based Linux exclusively for decades.
