SMB Share from Ubuntu to windows

Getting Started

Installing Samba

sudo apt update
sudo apt install samba

Configure Samba

In a terminal window open the smb conf file.
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

At the bottom of the file paste in - I will use media in this example

[sambashare]
    comment = Media
    path = /mnt/media
    read only = no
    browsable = yes

Then press CTRL+x to save and exit.

Restart the SMB service sudo service smbd restart

Samba does not use builtin OS password you will need to make your own for samba. (probably best to use the same usr name and password as OS user).

sudo smbpasswd -a username - change username to the name of OS user.
