I did install Samba, I did install Nautilus, I did share 1 map with music (I want to share the whole disk, not possible?) (Do I need to make a new folder and put all my folders with bands and their music in that one?) But further....do I need to check your whole story you wrote with the Terminal? And what I do at the other side, my TV Box connected with my TV? I have VLC player or FooPlayer or Kodi, what do I need to do there? Thank you in advance for any response.

Thank you so much, it works as it should. for some reason using the build-in Ubuntu share for folders on an external USB drive was not accessible from windows. well, I can see the shared folder in windows explorer but can't open it, however, building the samba config file as you showed worked right away. I guess I need to check the differences between your .conf file and the original samba file.

Not gonna lie, even a detailed video like this turns me off from Linux for servers. Im actually surprised its still this ridiculous to setup shared folders in linux... windows is literally 1 click and you've got yourself a server. Ive been using Linux mint as a daily driver for a couple years now. I really have no other use for windows besides servers since Linux is trash in that aspect.

Relatively new to Linux, running Kubuntu 20.04. I don't know why I didn't follow your instructions first, but after 14 hours I finally got it to work with your video. Thank you. However in all my previous blunders I found I had a problem with ssh and had to remove and reinstall which might have been part of my problem. So all's well, and it all works. Thanks again. Kubuntu 20.04

Useless video. I can't understand anything from 03:52. He is just too fast, I looked at the length of the video and thought he will explain everything clearly but this is just nonsense. You are too fast, this is definitely not for new Linux users

Watching it work and looking at what I wrote assisted me in seeing what I had done wrong. I'm grateful for your tips, and as you stated at the beginning these are for the new users. Well these also help with troubleshooting little errors.

Thank you Chris for posting this. I heard there is a GUI for configgering Samba. Is that true? WHatever I do I get messages like 'server timed out' when I try to access shares from another Linux computer.
