Title: New to Ubuntu, need help with Samba
Post by: mahesh on Aug 09, 2023, 08:17 AM
Hello,

I am new to Ubuntu, coming from a Windows background ive always wanted to learn Linux.

Im farming some crypto (Chia), so I figured that I could make my farming PC (alot of harddrives) as a Ubuntu setup.

I would like to transfer bigger files from my Windows PC to my Ubuntu harddrives.

Ill downloaded samba on the Linux system and confiured the samba.conf file, added:

[plot1]
path = /media/kekke/plot1/
valid users = kekke
read only = no


[plot2]
path = /media/kekke/plot2/
valid users = kekke
read only = no


I can view the folders on my windows computer, but when ill try to open them ill get this error message:

Windows cannot access \\10.10.x.x\plot2


Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. Try to identify and resolve network problems, Click Diagnose.



Any tips on what to do?
