Samba file sharing is not working

Question

I have done all configurations for file sharing from ubuntu to Windows following this link.

Now I am unable to access the ubuntu shared folder in Windows. I am getting access denied error.

Solution

You must have shared in a way that it expects authorization. If so, you'll have to add a user to the samba configuration file or else you'll have to make the share accessible to everyone without authorization.

This link contains the details of creating samba shares :
