<SOLVED> Samba file sharing using the file manager works between three local network Linux machines running Mint 20, Mint 19.2, and Ubuntu 18.04 with these conditions:
1. The [global] section of the/etc/samba/smb.conf file on each machine must be configured as shown below:
2. Connections originating from the Mint 20 file manager must use the file manager command line with the command "smb://<ip address>/share-name".
3. The /etc/hosts file on each machine must include the host name/ip address of the other two machines.
4. You must create a samba user/password on each machine using the command "sudo smbpasswd -a username".
Mint 20:
Code: Select all
workgroup = WORKGROUP
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
usershare owner only = false
client min protocol = NT1
server min protocol = NT1
Mint 19.2
Code: Select all
workgroup = WORKGROUP
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
usershare owner only = false
client max protocol = NT1
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Code: Select all
workgroup = WORKGROUP
name resolve order = bcast host lmhosts wins
usershare owner only = false
client max protocol = NT1
That worked for me!!
