SMB Ubuntu share with WIN 10 1903 - protocol 3_11
To access an SMB share on Ubuntu from a Windows 10 1903 machine using the SMB protocol version 3.11, you'll need to ensure that the necessary configuration and software are in place. Here's a general outline of the steps:
Verify Samba Installation: Make sure Samba is installed and properly configured on your Ubuntu machine. You can install Samba by running the following command in the terminal:
arduinosudo apt-get install samba
Configure Samba Share: Edit the Samba configuration file to define the shared folder and access permissions. Open the Samba configuration file
/etc/samba/smb.conf
using a text editor, and add the following configuration block at the end:bash[share]
path = /path/to/shared/folder
read only = no
guest ok = yes
Replace
/path/to/shared/folder
with the actual path to the folder you want to share.Restart Samba Service: After modifying the Samba configuration file, restart the Samba service to apply the changes. Run the following command in the terminal:
sudo service smbd restart
Enable SMB 3.11 Support on Windows 10: By default, Windows 10 supports SMB protocol versions up to 3.0. To enable SMB 3.11 support, you can install the latest Windows updates, including any optional updates related to SMB protocol enhancements. Ensure that your Windows 10 machine is updated to the latest version.
Connect to the SMB Share: On your Windows 10 machine, open the File Explorer and enter the following in the address bar:
\\ubuntu-machine-ip\share
Replace
ubuntu-machine-ip
with the IP address or hostname of your Ubuntu machine, andshare
with the name you defined in the Samba configuration file. Press Enter to connect.If prompted for credentials, you can either provide a username and password or, if you set
guest ok = yes
in the Samba configuration, you can choose to connect as a guest without entering credentials.
By following these steps, you should be able to access the SMB share on Ubuntu from your Windows 10 1903 machine using SMB protocol version 3.11. Remember to adapt the configuration to your specific needs and ensure that both systems are on the same network and can communicate with each other.
