Problem connecting to fileshare over samba from win10 was created by Mohamed

Hello,

After setting up the Astroberry image over RPi 4, I was able to connect successfully to the web interface through astroberry.local. I can access the RPi also through the SSH without issue, and I can ping with no issues. Everything is working fine except when I try to access the Astroberry samba share from my win10 laptop.

I checked samba service and it is sunning. I checked its configuration and it was properly configured for sharing. When I try to access the shares in RPi from windows explorer using \\astroberry.local or \\<IP> i get "windows can't find \\astroberry.local or \\<ip>" respectively.

Any idea what could be going wrong?

Thank you
Mohamed

Hi Mohamed,

Your share is called astroberry so try \\astroberry.local\astroberry and see if you can connect to that. Otherwise, install the smbclient software on your astroberry and try

smbclient -L //astroberry.local

to see which shares are available. You may need to add parameters for the username and password (sorry, I am typing this from the top of my head and it has been years since I looked into samba).

Apart from that, you set browsable to No in the homes section and then try to add a share for the astroberry home dir. Perhaps they are in conflict? I'd suggest to take out the astroberry section and set browsable to yes in the homes section. I suppose that astroberry is the only (non-root) user so that should not be a safety issue.


HTH, Wouter

Hi Wouter

Thank you for your response. I've been investigating this issue, and I believe it is a win10 issue and not setup on the Astroberry side. MS disabled many protocols including SAMBA by default. Although I was not successful using win10 to get to my files, as a workaround, I used FileZilla and logged in over SSH, and it worked.

In the policies of Windows 10, you need to allow the connection to servers that do not provide a secure access method. Check serverfault.com/questions/888690/windows...-locations-or-drives.
