Hi
I'm please to report that all my Windows machines can now see the Samba
Share on my Raspberry Pi. I never got network discovery to work properly
but, by specify the Pi's name in the Windows Hosts file and by mapping a
Windows drive to the share, the Windows machines can now access the share.
Thanks very much Rowland and others who helped me.
My share is currently open to anyone who is connected to my network, which
is not ideal. I would like to add some security. Below are the main
sections of my smb.conf file, please will you advise me what to do to add
secure access?
Should I create a 'guest' user account on the Pi and require external users
to use that account?
Best regards
David
