I can't get Win10 PC to Access Ubuntu 18.10 Samba Shares

Actually, I don't know if I have a Windows problem or a Ubuntu problem here.

I've been using a Ubuntu server for years accessing it with Windows computers with no problems. Then I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10

I'm trying to share several folders from my Ubuntu server with my Win10 machines. Three of my four PCs are running Win10 ver 1809 and one is running ver 1803.

Two of my vers 1809s can access and write to the Ubuntu's Samba Shares perfectly, no problemo. One of the vers 1809 can see the shares, but cannot access them. Neither can the vers 1803. However, just to make things more
confusing, of the multitude of Samba shares that I've created during this whole head-banging experience, all 4 of the Win10 PCs can access one of the Samba Shares.

Of the two PCs that are not having difficulty, one has SMB 1.0/CIFS checked and one does not. The 1803 has it checked.

I have tried turning off the Windows firewall.

Do I have a windows problem or a Ubuntu problem?

Where do I go from here? I am open to any suggestions.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Windows 10 blocks access when sharing files between ubuntu using samba

Hi, thanks for your help in advance.

I was able to share files between win10 and ubuntu using samba. When I'm trying to copy files (from ubuntu to win 10), everything is work great (some files are copied as expected) but suddenly Win 10 blocks access. It happen only with the folder where I took the files, if I try to open other folder on the same PC I can.

- I try to shut down the firewall but it's still happen.
- I uninstalled Kaspersky Antivirus.

This is the error:

 

I can't get Win10 PC to Access Ubuntu 18.10 Samba Shares

Thank you for your suggestions.

I finally solved this in two different ways:

1. I got SAMBA to finally work by changing my user name and password to match my linux machine's name and password in Windows Control Panel > User Accounts> Credential Manager > Edit Windows Credentials. (I still have no explanation why the "Everyone"
option for privileges didn't work.)

But Much Much easier

2. I set up NFS on both the Ubuntu and the Windows PCs. Even though I've never set up NFS before and I've been fighting with SAMBA for over a decade, the NFS was a breeze to set up and it works!

I now have SAMBA and NFS shares running at the same time.

Thanks again,

John
