Windows 10 blocks access when sharing files between ubuntu using samba

fedenuche · 26 Jul 2019

Hi, thanks for your help in advance.

I was able to share files between win10 and ubuntu using samba. When I'm trying to copy files (from ubuntu to win 10), everything is work great (some files are copied as expected) but suddenly Win 10 blocks access. It happen only with the folder where I took the files, if I try to open other folder on the same PC I can.

- I try to shut down the firewall but it's still happen.
- I uninstalled Kaspersky Antivirus.

This is the error:

Hi Samurai, thanks for your reply. The ubuntu folder and all the files inside has 777

But what are the windows permissions?

Sorry, maybe I don't understand you. But I open the ubuntu folder from win 10 and I try to copy the files from ubuntu to bring them to win 10. So I don't know if the win 10 permissions are important. If so, please tell me how I can see those permissions.

In additions to that, the process start and some files are copied, but after a while (some times severals minutes and some times just one file) the connections is bloked until restart win 10.

Sounds more like a Master Browser issue. Linux and Windows are fighting against each other.

How to Access Your Ubuntu Bash Files in Windows (and Your Windows System Drive in Bash)

Thanks guys for your reply. The files are not bash. They are personal data like Word, libre Office, pictures, Zip/RAR, etc. . May be the txt files (whitout txt extension) are taken as bash file?

Nope. You may be getting a little confused on this matter. This issue has been a long time problem with the interaction between SaMBa for linux and SaMBa for Windows. It goes way back before 10. A correct method of configuring Samba for browsing SMB shares in a home network | Fitzcarraldo's Blog

Get this book as either paper or a e-Book. https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/using_samba/ch12.html

After I read all the information I thinks I solve my problem. Thanks all for your help.

This is the step that I was missing "Use the command ‘pdbedit‘ on each Linux machine to define and configure the Samba users on that machine. The command ‘smbpasswd‘ is an alternative to ‘pdbedit‘ but I recommend you use the latter, as ‘smbpasswd‘ is deprecated."

After create a linux user that match with the win user and restart samba I can use the network without restrictions.

One more thing, in case that other user has the same problem. After the samba configuration, when I tried to copy large files win return "Error: 0x8007003b". I just turned off the firewall during the files copy and that did the trick.
