Hey, thanks for taking the time too read this.
I want too set up two or more LM 18.3 Cinnamon computers for simple file sharing under the Network Icon on the Desktop. I have selected too share my downloads folder on both my PC and set permissions too modify files and allow guest access.
I also installed Samba when requested as I could not of got that far with out doing so.
My problem is this.
I can not see my downloads folder in my networking folder on my desktop for both machines despite having my eth1 up. I am currently running the ufw on both machines so I'm not sure if that’s a problem.
Last time I posted about this it was for LM 17.3 so I'm not sure if I can use those particular setting that were valid for that version or if their has been changes; so I wanted too post on the forums too check with you gyes.
ANy help would be great as I want too use my other PCs as NAS on my Home Network.
Thanks.

In addition to the link PhilippeH provided you will need to allow samba in through your firewall:
Code: Select all
sudo ufw allow Samba
