Samba share from F26 host to Win10 guest working
I need to access files from my KVM host in a Windows 10 session. I attempted configuring it before by copying an OLD smb.conf file. Both smb and nmb would fail starting up.
The solution was to to run this command and restart smb and nmd.
cp /usr/samba/smb.conf.example /usr/samba/smb.conf
I then had to add the userid from Windows 10 (same user name as on Linux) and restarted smb and nmb.
smbpasswd -a kurtis
Restarting was done via:
systemctl restart smb nmb
On my Windows 10, I ran these to commands:
net view \\192.168.122.1
net use z:\ \\192.168.122.1\kurtis
I am happy.
