I've a dual boot setup Kubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10.
With Kubuntu 20.04 I'm trying to share some folders to my network via Lan/Wlan.
So that I can easily access them from my Android and Windows machine. But I'm facing a problem.
When I'm sharing folders from my /home directory. It's working. But when I'm trying to share folders from NTFS drive.
Samba does not sharing those folders.

Here's my process:
1. Installed samba
2. Created a samba user by sudo smbpasswd -a ishan (ishan is the username)
3. Enabled samba with sudo systemctl enable smbd nmbd
4. Start samba by sudo systemctl start smbd nmbd
5. Then just goto /mnt/media and Right-Click to Videos folder then goto properties and share.


But this Shared-Folder does not appearing to my network.
When I try to access this machine from Windows and Android. It only shows print$ folder.
When I run smbstatus, that video folder is not showing in the list.
How to fix it

Found the solution:
I've added this line to the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf file .

Code: Select all

usershare owner only = false

Now it looks like this:

If anyone still facing the same problem then add this two lines to /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

Code: Select all

usershare owner only = false
client min protocol = NT1

You can also use: client min protocol = CORE
