SAMBA woes - no guest access
SAMBA woes - no guest access
(OP)
All I want is a simple Samba installation that anonymous users/guests can access. I have modified the smb.conf file so much using 'tips' that should enable a simple folder share. Nothing works.
If I share the folder using Nautilus share then the folder is accessible without any credentials from only Win7 and android ES File Explorer. XP can't see the folder, nor can any other linux device.
I've been struggling with this for days. I want to switch to linux as a main OS but without shares it's not practical.
Does anyone have a stripped down smb.conf which provides guest access to a single folder?
here's the testparm
