Hello,
In order to transfer files between windows guest and linux host, I have installed samba server on the host.
$ yum list samba*
Installed Packages
samba.x86_64 3.6.9-151.el6
@sl-security
samba-client.x86_64 3.6.9-151.el6 @sl-security
samba-common.x86_64
3.6.9-151.el6 @sl-security
samba-winbind.x86_64 3.6.9-151.el6 @sl-security
samba-winbind-clients.x86_64
3.6.9-151.el6 @sl-security
And I configured /etc/samba/smb.conf it in this way:
[smb]
comment = share
path = /media/samba_share
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes
write list = mahmood vb
the share folder is
$ ls -l /media/
total 4
drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 4096 Nov 19 06:50 samba_share
Then I run the guest windows with "-smb /media/samba_share" option.
Now in windows I get this error
System error 1231 has occurred. The network location can not be reached.
What is wrong with the configuration?
P.S: Usually I use scp and ssh for remote transfers. So if someone has a simpler option than samba please let me
know.
Regards,
Mahmood
