Ubuntu Networking :: Access To Shared Folder In A Strange Configuration?
Dec 12, 2010
I've a question about a connection to a shared folder on a pc behind an ubuntu 10.04 server. The Ubuntu machine itself is behind a Cisco router. Cisco router has a nat 1-to-1 to Ubuntu machine with the static public ip x.y.x.z The Ubuntu machine has one only interfaces eth0 bridged with a virtual tap0 in the virtual br0 interface. This because on the Ubuntu machine is running OpenVPN in bridged mode. I want to reach a private share on the host 192.168.100.2 using the x.y.w.z static IP. Is that possibile? Ubuntu machine has no firewall running (I was not able to run shorewall firewall for now).

Been using Ubuntu now almost 1 year and love it but I'm still mostly lost so I need someone to explain in great detail how to be able to access the My Documents folder on my LAN XP machine. I've been up and working fine for 6 or 8 months but all of the sudden (maybe it was an update package?) I get the following error message, after a long delay, when trying to access the shared folder:
Could not open location 'smb://office/my%20documents/'Failed to mount Windows share.I have set an icon on the top panel mapped to the XP machine and launched by launcher.

I've set up a laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 32bit and shared specific folders on my Win7 PC. Everything should work okay as they both can see each other, but when I try on Ubuntu to access the Win7 shared folder it asks me for username and password. In Win7 I'm always logged in as Administrator with no password set and Ubuntu won't let me connect to it leaving the password blank. It just keeps asking for my username/password over and over again without any kind of error message. It doesn't come up with 'access denied' or anything, it just keeps refreshing the username/password login/connect gui so I can't say which side of the fence the problem is occurring on though I suspect it's on the Ubuntu side.

Installed Fedora 10 on my Downloader (just a name for the pc as its mainly used for torrent downloading) computer. But I cant access the fedora shared folder from my windows XP. Accessing XP shared folders from F10 is fine. I have another 2 computer where I have installed Ubuntu 8.10. I have no problem accessing either of the Ubuntu system from my XP computer. The F10 computer comes up fine on my Workgroup list of xp. I double click to go into the F10, a login window pops up and askes for username and password. I used the normal username and root / password to log in. But it keeps popping up for password again and again. BTW, Recently I Installed Win7 Beta on the Windows computer and Surprisingly I can access the Fedora 10 computer shared folder just fine from Win7. But I need to get it working under windows XP.
Here is my smb.conf file
Code:
# Global Settings
[global]
# Network Related Options
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, e.g.: MIDEARTH
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field netbios name can be used to specify a server name not tied to the hostname. Interfaces lets you configure Samba to use multiple interfaces. If you have multiple network interfaces then you can list the ones. You want to listen on (never omit localhost). Hosts Allow/Hosts Deny lets you restrict who can connect, and you can specify it as a per share option as well
workgroup = THEMATRIX
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = MYSERVER
;interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.12.2/24 192.168.13.2/24
;hosts allow = 127. 192.168.12. 192.168.13 .....

I've installed Fedora 12 on my laptop and when I share any folder and try to access it over the network using smb://<ip-address/<folder> it says "file or folder smb://..... does not exist"
Now if I simply try to access - smb://<ip-address> on the file browser it shows me shared folders but when I double click I get the same error.
I've SELinux disable, Firewall disable but I'm still not able to access these folders.
I did the exactly same samba configuration on openSUSE and I'm able to access the folder but not with Fedora 12.

I have created a shared folder via nautilus. I can not access it, because it asks me for user name and password again and again. I'm sure both username and password are exactly right. But I can not access the folder. Only when I check "Allow guest user access" it will allow me to access my data, Which is not secure enough for me.

I have a Linux Box running Fedora 13, it has Samba installed, and I have configured it, I also have a Windoze 7 PC, I want to be able to access the Windoze PC's files from my Linux Box, and vice versa, but when I try to open the Windoze PC in the network on my Linux Box, it asks for my Username and Password, I enter them, the box goes away then pops back up asking for them again... and on the Windoze PC, I find my Linux on the network, open it, it asks for my username and password, I enter them, and it lets me in, but then when I try opening my shared folder, it gives me: "You do not have permission to access \LINUX Shared Folder. Contact your network administrator to request access".

I successfully installed Samba, but have problem with access to any shared folder on my secondary drive. If I try access secondary drive with admin user, everything is fine. If with another account try to access via samba to shared folder on partition with Ubuntu, everything is fine again. Every folder has set privileges to read&write to everyone, so shouldn't be problem here.

I have been learning about P2P networks and have been experimenting with all kinds of operating systems. I figured out how to share and access Windows shared files on other Windows computers.
Now I'm trying to access Windows shared folders from Linux operating systems.
Here's the deal. I created a shared folder on Windows 2000 Professional. I want to open it from Kubuntu 10.04.
I am not running Virtualbox. These are separate operating systems on separate computers.

- I have ubuntu installed, and win7 is installed using vbox.
- I know how to set shared folder, so win7 can access the folder in ubuntu.
- I need to have an access to certain folder in win7 from ubuntu.
How can I do that?It is not about samba, right?

I have been having off and on issues with my samba file shares. I am sharing a NTFS formated hard drive where the mount point is in my home directory, as well as a printer connected via USB. I am to the point where printing works (using it as an ipp print share, samba is configured for it, but I don't know if it works or not), and I can access the shared folder from Windows, but I can't access the shared folder from any Ubuntu machine. I get the error:

I have two computers running for daily use. One is called 'server' and it is powered by Ubuntu 10.04. The other one is called 'workstation' and it runs on Windows 7 professional. On workstation I have created a folder 'Share', which I made shared for 'everybody'. Also I have installed smbclient and smbfs. With the Google I found this link: [URL] But there are errors on that page that have undermined my confidence. How do I access this shared folder?

Heres what I have and what I am looking to do. I have a PC with a single core 2 Ghz Pentium processor and 1 gb of RAM. Its pretty limited in what it can do and run. It has two physical HDDs one a 250 GB SATA and the other a 160GB SATA. One the two hard drives I have the following partition structure:
160 GB HDD
28 GB Ubuntu OS Partition
2 GB Swap Partition
130 GB Free Partition (EXT4 but empty)
250 GB HDD
250 GB Free Partition (EXT4 but empty)
What I would like to do is the following:
1. Strip down Ubuntu 10.04 to where only the bare minimums run and system resources (Since they are so scarce on this system anyway) be readily available
2. Have the system run solely as a Samba File server for all other computers in the house to read and write to
3. Allow other "known" systems to access the shared folder without authentication, but any system with an unknown name, should have to authenticate first
4. Have the 130 GB from HDA and 250 GB from HDB, be presented as one network drive of 380 GB as opposed to two of 130 and 250 gb respectively
Are these things that are possible for a person of mid level understanding of Linux? How would one set about achieving all of the above goals?

The problem I am facing is, with the Samba server configuration.I have configured Samba server with a folder shared between server and client machines. I have tried downloading data from the shared folder on the server to the client machine which is successfully downloaded, however I am not able to upload any data to the shared folder in the samba server.

I'm a Windows person and will soon be tasked with UNIX/LINUX projects. I'm trying to learn as much as possible in a very short period of time. I'm very familiar with VMPlayer and VirtualBox. Recently I installed OpenSUSE 11.3 as a guest OS on VMPlayer (bridged network). The host is WinXP. I have also enabled shared folder to the host @ CRepositoryInstalls. Question - How do I access the shared folder from OpenSUSE (the guest OS) and vice-versa?

I am planning to build a server in future. That will be a computer with GNU. It will be a router and file server. It will get the VPN-Internet and share it with all the PCs connected to LAN. There will be Samba for file sharing. And I'm thinking that if I just share some directory on that server with Samba, it will be possible to get access to that dir from VPN. So it's not very safe to do that. Is it possible to prevent access to Samba dir from VPN connection?

I have a MacBook Pro.I just got it to "mount" the recording/video folders using NFS to connect to my mythbox.Here is my /etc/exports file:
Code:
/var/lib/mythtv 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,insecure,all_squash,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000)
Here is my hosts.allow file:[code]....
I also made sure that under Settings -> Shared Folders, the "Read-only" box was unchecked.I did all this and I still cannot get the MacBook to write to the mounted folders.

Every time I share a folder (using Ubuntu 9.10 Desktop), the share is gone after I reboot. How can I make it a permanent share that persists?
Note: I used the gui to create the share (if that matters). Once I get the share permanent, the next thing I'll want to do is automatically mount it from another Ubuntu Desktop computer on the network.
Note: this will be a "peer to peer" network. I don't have Ubuntu Server and don't intend to get it. Just have two Ubuntu Desktop computers.

I have two partitions: one for Ubuntu 64-bit and another one with the format NTFS only for keeping documents. I have shared one folder of this NTFS partition, but every time I reboot the PC (or shutdown and start again for that matter) the folder is no longer shared.Why?How can I prevent this folder to be un-shared when I reboot the computer?

The title says it all: I have two folders which I share in Ubuntu (10.10), one of them is "public", so I set it to allow guests to create/move/delete files in the folder. Then there is my mother's PC running Windows XP Professional (also one shared folder with write access). When I was using Windows 7, I could create/delete/edit files on my mother's shared folder but now, using Ubuntu, I can only read from it. Same with the shared folder in Ubuntu, I can only read it from XP but not write to it.

Recently I've been finding two strange-looking files on my Windows shared folders! Their names are 'khy' and 'qffhtx.exe', they appear as hidden, and they're hard to delete!! especially the first one because it has no extension. I use Ubuntu 10.10, but I am worried because I also dual-boot Windows XP. Today I tried to open the .exe file in nautilus to see what is inside and I received the message "Unable to open archive", 'khy' is apparently an empty text file. Then I unmounted my /home partition so my files are out of the way, and I ran the .exe file using WINE,
Now I have a strange-looking applet on my top panel!! and it says "Script paused", also it says "Exit', and also Wine command prompt says something strange about "LockWindowUpdate", don't imagine it I'll post the screenshots so you can see it for yourselves. Also --and this is weird-- the virus apparently is trying to call a Windows process named csrcs.exe!! Again, I'll post the screenshots.
If this is a virus, then it's like a fish out of the water on my Ubuntu, it's probably trying to do something but it can't find its way around, it's kinda funny, but Im worried because I also dual-boot Windows XP, I'm having a hard time trying to remember the name KHY, it's a very weird acronym, it's the acronym of a disease, according to what I googled, i'm sure it's a virus!!! Anyway it's HARD to remember!!!
what can I do about this? How can I see the "script"? can Ubuntu kick its ***?how can I clean my Windows?
