If you aren't used to working with SMB/CIFS network shares make sure you understand that you have separate Samba Users and Unix Users which need to be synchronized as William is doing here:
$ sudo smbpasswd -a william I'd also add that starting with *a clean smb.conf file* will make things easier. You have to get the user and group mappings correct between the two operating systems. Don't forget to RTFM at http://www.samba.org, there are many helpful examples if you get stuck. Also, there is a (flawed) very useful admin tool Webmin, which is a GUI for a Samba Windows File Server documented at http://doxfer.webmin.com/Webmin/Samba_Windows_File_Sharing. I have found NFS mounts easier to work with and more stable, https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754350(v=ws.11).aspx. If this is new to you, it is *much* easier to figure out between a Windows host and a Linux VM hosted on your PC, first. ------------------- Paul Wolfson On Fri, May 20, 2016 at 3:25 PM, William Hermans <yyrk...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've found Samba to be the best way: > > $ sudo apt-get install cifs-utils samba > $ sudo mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak > > $ sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf > add: > [beagleshare] > comment = beaglebone support share > path = /home/william/ > writeable = yes > valid users = william > guest ok = no > security = user > > $ sudo smbpasswd -a william > $ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart > $ sudo nano /etc/hosts.allow > add: > ALL: LOCAL > > Windows PC: > Click start > Right click MyComputer, or ThisPC > Select Map Network Drive > In the folder field put in the share name.
