I would like to share media from my computer to android and figured samba might be the most straight-forward. After opening up ports in my firewall, I can at least see the samba share within VLC; however, the samba server is still apparently requiring a username and password even though I thought I set it up to be guest only:
I had also tried without the global section altogether, but every time, it prompts for a username and password. Regardless of what I enter, it does not accept my input. The funny thing is that I can see the directories and file listings just fine, it is only when I want to open a file that it complains.
The permissions on the filesystem are r+x for both group and other.
Code:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Workstation Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = Workstation
guest account = nobody
map to guest = Bad Password
[media]
path = /media
writable = no
browsable = yes
read only = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
only guest = yesI had also tried without the global section altogether, but every time, it prompts for a username and password. Regardless of what I enter, it does not accept my input. The funny thing is that I can see the directories and file listings just fine, it is only when I want to open a file that it complains.
