Error when mounting a shared drive via Samba

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 663 / 2 Years ago, sun, january 30, 2022, 12:34:58

I have set up a windows workgroup in order to see my network drive.

The network shows it but I can't mount it via smb4K and access it.

And get the error message

The Share "//MYBOOKLIVE/Public could not be mounted

mount.cifs:permission denied:no match for /home/viktoria/smb4k/MYBOOKLIVE/Public in etc/fstab

I have installed samba
sudo apt-get install samba

I have opened the configuration
sudo gedit/etc/samba/smb.conf
and changed the file according to Share Ext4 Partition Over Network using of course my configuration. My computer can trace find the other computer on the network, can find the printers and the network drive but I cannot mount it or access the files. I am sorry for my silly questions but I am a first time Ubuntu user and i understand very little about it.

I have to mention that there are two workgroups that I am connecting to. The one has two windows PCs and the other has only the network drive. I don't why this is happening. The other thing is that sometimes I see the workgroup with the network drive in the smb4K and sometimes i don't. I am pretty sure that I have to do something more but I don't know what.

What do I have to do?

Thanks in advance

Presuming you have installed samba

sudo apt-get install samba

In the Global section of the file /etc/samba/smb.conf I have this :-

workgroup = WORKGROUP

netbios name = PCNAME

name resolve order = bcast host

Change WORKGROUP and PCNAME accordingly.
Set the name resolve order as shown in order to browse windows shares using Nautilus.
