| Seems like no password and user are set. Try creating a new user in Kubuntu for samba only by executing smbpasswd -a username It will ask for a password. Enter the password that you want to use for remote access. After a reboot of lubuntu try logging in from the windows machine with that username and password thet you created.
Hi guys. I tried sharing files between two desktop computers, one of which is running Lubuntu LTS, the other is Windows XP.
When I'm using Lubuntu on one desktop computer, I'm able to access the shared files in Windows XP on the other desktop computer, using this: sudo apt-get install cifs-utils For vice versa, I used this: sudo apt-get install samba Windows XP sees the shared folders on the Lubuntu Machine thru "My Network", but in order to access the files within those folders, I have to type a username and password. I assume this is the password that I use when running the sudo command in terminal, correct? The problem is even if I type in the username and password, I just can't get to the files. The username and password entry box keep coming up. Any suggestions? | ||
