Chcon -t sambasharet allaccess/ Now go to Windows machine and select Run then type the folder path to access it. Creating secure folder with member only access. Restart the samba: sudo service smbd restart. Once Samba has restarted, use this command to check your smb.conf for any syntax errors. To access your network share. Sudo apt-get install smbclient # List all shares: smbclient -L /// -U # connect: smbclient /// -U. Mounting network share on empty folders created by installer. User can mount the samba share over an empty folder by executing following command. Mount -t cifs -o user=root,password=root ///ephesoft /opt/Ephesoft/SharedFolders. Here password is the password of smbuser for which smbpasswd was set. Configuring a Samba share in KDE. If a file manager sharing option isn’t available, and you’d still rather a GUI solution: Go to your OS’ control center, and look for sharing or networking options. Go to a search engine and type in, “ (Your Distro) Samba GUI”. Open the smb.conf with a text editor as root (or sudo). The client features in Samba allow a Linux machine to access Windows shares and shared printers. The required programs are available in the cifs-utils and smbclient packages.
Since Windows 10 version 1709 (“Fall Creators Update”) neither SMB1 nor NetBios device discovery is supported anymore.
Due to this change a Samba share which is hosted on a Linux machine may no longer show up in the Network view of Windows Explorer.
Although the Samba share can still be reached by it’s hostname or IP address (and share name) this is a slight inconvenience.

Luckily there is a small Python tool called wsdd which provides a Web Service Discovery (host) daemon. What follows is a short guide on how to install and use wsdd on Ubuntu Server 20.04 (works similar for other Debian based distributions).
![Samba Share For Machereiup Samba Share For Machereiup](/uploads/1/1/9/3/119357346/809357970.png)
Begin by adding the PPA for wsdd to the apt sources and add the corresponding key.
![Samba status_more_processing_required Samba status_more_processing_required](/uploads/1/1/9/3/119357346/677890041.png)
Then update the package list and install wssd. The appropriate systemd service will be installed automatically on Ubuntu.
Since wsdd does not require any special privileges, ownership can be changed to nobody.
The configuration file for wsdd is located at
/etc/wsdd.conf
and is empty by default. The only change I needed, was to restrict wsdd to one of my local network interfaces.Samba Nt_status_object_path_not_found
Let’s check on the status of the
wsdd
service.The wsdd service is not running yet and Samba shares from this Linux machine will not show up in Windows 10 at the moment. But that shall change very soon.
Regarding firewall settings, the documentation of wsdd says:
Both incoming and outgoing multicast traffic on port 3702 must be allowed. For IPv4, the multicast address is 239.255.255.250, for IPv6 the link local SSDP multicast address (ff02::c) is used. Outgoing unicast UDP traffic from port 3702 must be allowed too.
Incoming TCP traffic (and related outgoing traffic) on port 5357 must be allowed.
wsdd documentationIncoming TCP traffic (and related outgoing traffic) on port 5357 must be allowed.
At this time I’m not going into the firewall settings, but keep that topic for later, until my system is completely up and working.
All that remains to be done is to (re)start the wsdd service.
At this point the Linux machine should appear in the Network View of Windows Explorer in Windows 10.
