Unable to map network drive

[BOFFBOY]

Hi all,

 

so I was trying to map a windows network drive to armbian but something is missing or am i doing something wrong here:

I tried 

smb://10.10.2.101

sftp://10.10.2.101

both are highlighted in red

 

It works fine on Rocky Linux thou.. 

 

any ideas ?

Have you installed and configured samba?

[BOFFBOY]

no... didnt know it was needed.. how ?

[SteeMan]

Google how to install/setup samba for file sharing on Linux.

[BOFFBOY]

even for sftp its not working..

[SteeMan]

Why are you expecting these services to be pre configured for you out of the box?  Any file sharing service is a potential security hole, so any good distribution isn't going to have them enabled by default.

You are probably going to need a share name after the IP address smb://10.10.2.101/sharename

 

Running smbclient from the command line will give you more feedback and allow you to search for shares.

Since nobody mentioned it.

 

I don't know what desktop env that is, but I think using those prefixes is not connected to the packages you get for installing for example cifs-utils.

I more think this has to do with fuse or something similar.

 

If you provide a bit more info of your system, more help might be provided by users.

I have never used any graphical env on any of my armbian installs so I simply have no idea what is on them. 😮

It looks like gnome, so I think you can google using Ubuntu in your searches, and that might give you the solution of what you have to install.

 

Never the less, you can always mount the share using `mount` in cli and they will become accessible that way.
