Simple Samba Conf File

2020-09-05 See This

What a pain in the butt -
 . . . good old reliable twins work
. . . ssh & WinSCP
Unless you are in Mint, etc where setting up a share is easy.
Not sure if Nautlis Share can be used on the others.

Worked fine in Bohdi but not PopOS
...Suggestion - add to the bottom of existion smb.conf instead of replacing smb.conf totally
smb.conf file
[global]
server role = standalone server
map to guest = Bad User
usershare allow guests = guest
hosts allow = 192.168.0.0/16 (basic security but not needed) (192.168.1.0/16 be specific?)
hosts deny = 0.0.0.0/0 (basic security but not needed)

[testfolder]
comment = test folder
path = /home/george/testfolder
read only = no
guest ok = yes
force user = george (not sure needed)
force group = george (not sure needed)

Be sure Windows has smb1 active in features

Curl, Wget, Winget & Powershell Install or Download Commands
