How to file share in Ubuntu 21.04 & 21.10 Linux over the network with Samba (smb) to another machine running Windows.
You need to right click and enter properties, Select “Local Network Share” allow the SAMBA service to be installed.
To start basic sharing.
Once the service is installed, select “Create Share“
Now we need to create and enable a USER to use the SAMBA service that was installed.
This can be done by
Opening a terminal in Ubuntu and enter the following commands:
sudo smbpasswd -a <UserName>
Enter a password for the new SAMBA User.
You should now be able to access the Samba Share.
NOTE: Changing your Ubuntu user password WILL NOT change the SAMBA user password in this case.
