libreelec samba config easy...how to do it on retro&kodi

[mefairo]

Hi, had libreelec on my pi2 and on libreelec menus its very easy to set samba and username password for access...So i could see my external hdd etc under windows network and access it with my defined password...

Yesterday i took a shot for retropie and installed installed kodi from retropie app menu...Everything works great but i spent hours to find and set the samba ...

How do i set a username and password for my ex hdd and access it from windows network?

thank you very much

ok i got it...

its not as simple as libreelec setup but hope a guide for me like newbies...

i downloaded putty ssh client to pc and than connected to my pie by typing the ip address of raspberry.

username : pi
password: raspberry

after that type this line : sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

note: if they have # character delete it. eg: # workgroup = WORKGROUP
workgroup = WORKGROUP
wins support = yes

than go very down of the page and add these lines but change the path part and depo parts as your configuration. <depo is my folders name and path is where my external hard drive is>

[depo]
comment = depo
path = "/media/usb1"
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
force user = pi

press CTRL and X , press Y key and enter...

type : sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

and its done...

Quit Emulation Statio to terminal (or login via SSH) and run the following command to set a password for user "pi" (change "pi" to set a password for another user):

sudo smbpasswd -a -s pi

You can edit samba settings by editing the file:
/etc/samba/smb.conf
