File Share not working

T3Knical5urg3 · 2022-02-09T00:02:47.584Z

I have a GL-AR750S.

I followed the File Share tutorial for SMB 2.0 for windows machines.

I confirmed that the usb storage attached to the router is available though CLI.

I tried both the IP address "\\10.13.38.1" and the hostname “\\GL-AR7550S”

In the case of using the IP I get Windows can’t find ‘\10.13.38.1’

In the case of hostname I get sent to a credentials page. If I try root and my password it says \GL-AR7550S is not accessible. You might ot have permission to use this network resource.

I am out of ideas.

Is this the complete /etc/samba/smb.conf file? There are no mount points listed as shared.

I tried accessing it from a different computer and it just works now. I am not sure what the difference was. Now my issue is that if I try to write anything to it, it reports that it is out of space, and acts like it is 100% full.

Can you post the complete /etc/samba/smb.conf file? It may show that the share is readonly.

Thanks for taking a look for me:

My config file is the same, except I have the line “browseable = yes”

Can you run the command “df” in SSH?

Also run the command “ls -ld /mnt”.

Is the “browsable = yes” in the same location?

I.E., should I change my current setting or add it to the end of the file?

wcs2228 · 2022-02-09T01:26:32.548Z

The USB drive is mounted as /mnt/JumpDrive, but you shared /mnt. In the GL.iNet UI → File Sharing, change Current Direcdtory to /mnt/JumpDrive.

It should be okay to add “browsable = yes".

Well shoot, thank you, this worked! I had set it up prior to getting the jump drive working and had left it as is.
