[QUOTE="iRock, post: 500486, member: 9277"] Ok, I beg you dont flame me! - I know I have posted problems on this before. I just felt that I might get a better response if I post a more detailed description. Here goes! I am trying to share files between my Ubuntu Linux and Mac OS X. Ubuntu is running on VMWARE - (Virtual Machine). I have installed Samba - Created a samba password using: [CODE] sudo smbpasswd -a <username> [/CODE] The username I used was Shane. So I typed: [CODE]sudo smbpasswd -a shane[/CODE] I then added this user to the smbusers file: [CODE]sudo vi /etc/samba/smbusers[/CODE] This is the format I entered it in: [CODE]administrator = "shane"[/CODE] I assume the above maps the ubuntu user "administrator" to the samba user Shane? For testing purposes I am using the password "support" I have configured the shared home directories as expected. On the mac: Finder -> GO -> Connect to server I enter the details in the image below. [IMG]http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/shanekillian/Picture1-3.png[/IMG] Then there is a pause when connecting like so: [IMG]http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/shanekillian/Picture2-3.png[/IMG] I am then presented with this window: [IMG]http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/shanekillian/Picture3.png[/IMG] I change the fields (using the password "support") like so: [IMG]http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/shanekillian/Picture4.png[/IMG] I click connect and this is what I get : [IMG]http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m14/shanekillian/Picture5.png[/IMG] If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate hearing them. If anyone has spotted that I have done something wrong it would be a great help to point it out. I think I should add that I am using Ubuntu Server with no GUI (Command Line Only). [/QUOTE]
