Question #207422 on samba in Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+question/207422
actionparsnip proposed the following answer: If you run: sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf add the below lines (but change it for your shares and usernames): [Downloads] path = /home/andy/Downloads comment = Andy's stuff browsable = yes read only = no writable = yes valid users = leanne andy invalid users = root bin daemon nobody Press CTRL+X, Press Y, Press ENTER and then run: sudo smbpasswd -a andy (again match the names you add in the smb.conf file), you will use this to authenticate with. Now if you run: sudo service smbd stop; sudo service smbd start And the share will be accessible. If you want to add another share, just add another entry in the smb.conf file and restart the service. You can also add more samba users and you can control whom has access to what.
