Live USB - Authentication Dialog - Samba Share - Password

[mtbvfr]

Hi Everyone,

I am using Linux Mint 16 KDE from a Live USB Flash Drive and I am testing Networking to a Windows Computer.

After I have created a Share on the Linux computer and I try to access/open that share on the Linux computer, the Authentication Dialog Window appears requesting a Username and Password.

What do I enter for the Username and Password?

The Share is placed as a Folder under the "Samba Shares/Workgroup/mint" path.

Thanks, Michael.

You enter samba-user username and samba-user password. You need to make samba-user first. An example:

Code: Select all

sudo adduser mint smb
sudo smbpasswd -a mint
