Samba newbie question please.
I have set up an Ubuntu 15.04 Server box with samba configured, and am
trying to connect my Ubuntu 12.04 desktop to view the share files set
up on the server.
Have followed the goguda55techtutorials youtube video posts to get
this far.
Progress thus: the boxes can ping each other and their gateway; "#
service smbd restart" on server works ok.
- What does client need to do to see server?
- Where is client WORKGROUP set? ...
Client should be able to run smbclient, like this.
criggie@caffeine:~$ smbclient -L \\\\caffeine
Enter criggie's password:
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.1.6-Debian]

Note the double-double backslash.
You can access a SMB share like
All the config is set in the smb.conf file.
Personally, I use NFS between machines where its supported. The same
mountpoints are shared via SMB for the odd windows client, but
realistically, file permissions and ownership gets a bit chopped up. At
least NFS does what its told, and as a bonus runs faster too.
