For anyone having issues making it so subfolders aren't working make sure you change the directory mode line from the copy and paste to have an equal sign in it. directory mode = 0777 then run the last commands. This is the easiest to follow to tutorial I've found thanks so much. :)

2.5 half hours and then i got your video and it's worked like magic !!! thank you !

Great video, very thorough! What's crazy, is that I went to school for two yrs for IT, but never really got any real training (online university most classes, had nothing to do with setting up networks. The next to last class did, but it was very vague.) Bright side though is that I have over $20, 000 dollars of school loan debt... I guess in the long run, it's a "win, win for me!"👍👍

why is it so complicated to share a folder ffs

[sikandaryosufzai]

for my case this command is not working: sudo apt install samba samba-common python-glade2 system-config-samba, , , may i know what would be the problem

I'm hoping that this will work for me. I have Ubuntu 20.04 and other videos just say it simple as using the GUI, but my Windows 10 finds the server and shared folder but doesn't have the rights to access it. So I'll try using the commands you suggested in the CMD Window. Thank you very much.

After dutifully copying and pasting all of these commands, when I finally click on the Windows Network icon on my Ubuntu machine, then on the Ubuntu icon, I get a prompt for my password. When I enter that password (the only password I use on either computer). I get an error message saying "Unable to access location. Failed to retrieve share list from server: invalid argument. Any idea on what I can do to fix that?

Tried this between win10 machine and fedora linux and didn't work for me 😢

where did this fk pyhton folder come from????

[rimas]

bro all is good but instead of ip you have to use host name as if you will have restart ubuntu pc or your network device you will loose your share folder.

Thank you sir...very helpful
Is there a way to get through the password prompt when accessing files on ubuntu from windows machine? Some of my shared folders is asking for username and password but i never set any up.

[pablocamacho]

Would this work on a Remote Server? (Linux server) to Windows Personal PC?
