RE: Network Attached Storage (NAS) 2024 Series - 1

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I have realized that File Explorer is the windows app, and have run aground on an inability to sort Workgroup (which I cannot seem to share from) from Homegroup (which I cannot seem to reach from Ubuntu and wants to be where everything is shared in Windoze), and find either using Samba and Ubuntu. I don't know what else I can do, although I will continue to endeavor to ascertain what it is I am not doing right. You have been kind enough to provide guidance that revealed to me the need for Samba, so if you have a moment and the inclination, perhaps you could understand what I have failed to do right, and set me straight.

When I say file explorer, I mean whatever GUI explorer you have. For Ubuntu I believe the default is Nautilus. If you are using KDE flavor, it is Dolphin.

Both should support this syntax for accessing SMB (Samba\official Windows) shares.

Ubuntu's file explorer is just called 'Files'. When I specify the windows computer name/share and enter the password in the connection dialogue, it is unable to mount the windows share. When I try to search the network from the Windows box, it doesn't find the Ubuntu box.

I am stumped.
