Problem accessing smb shared folder

Hi,
I have Linux Ubuntu server in which i have shared folder. Now the problem is from my home (internet) I have connected to vpn connection and trying to access shared folder but it gives an error saying
"Connection Failed - The Server "my hostname" may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name of ip address, check your network connection and then try again.
But when access same shared folder from any cyber centre (internet cafe) it works fine.
Please help
Thanks,
Gulab Pasha

I'm not sure how that's better than Get Info and clicking the Locked checkbox.
In any case, there are a bunch of these. We use a source control system that is not available for the Mac. All the source code that we have to work on is going to be locked.
What I'd really like to know is whether this is a bug in SL, or is there some setting that I can make that would make SL work like Leopard.

No thumbnails/preview in Nautilus for files in a smb shared folder.

Hi,
This is a problem I have tried to solve for more than a year by posting in forums, trial and error and a lot of Google searches. For my work I have to look through large folders on a smb share with movie files. I need thumbnails/preview to be able to work efficiently. On Ubuntu and other deb based distros I have thumbnails/preview in Nautilus just by setting it in the Naurilus preferences for networked folders. Not so on Arch (and Antergos). I do have thumbnails/preview for local files, but regardless of what I do not for the smb shared folders. I have of course configured Nautilus to preview all files.
I can see that there are generated failed thumbnails in ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory, so for some reason they are not generated correctly for the movie files in the smb shared folder on Arch. I have tried to install ffmpegthumbnailer and tons of other methods I have found in the forums and elsewhere, but I have not been able to get it to work. And again, on Ubuntu it works out of the box so it's not like there's a bug in Nautilus preventing thumbnails for files on a network share.
I'm running GNOME as my DE, but it doesn't seem to matter which DE I run as long as Nautilus or Nemo is the file manager.
I do not expect a solution, but one can always hope!

I had a similar issue, and it turns out nautilus was using ffmpegthumbnailer instead of totem-video-thumbnailer.
And ffmpegthumbnailer doesn't seem to work with files on "smb://...". It was generating empty pngs.
Do you have totem installed et does this create an image ?
totem-video-thumbnailer "smb://videoserver/pathtovideofile/videofile" test.png
Did you try to uninstall ffmpegthumbnailer or video thumbnailers other than totem ?

"There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." when trying to access a shared folder in domain environment.

Hi,
I already have a windows server 2003 working as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and now I created another windows server 2012 to work as an Additional Domain Controller (ADC).
- PDC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS + DHCP)
- ADC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS)
For testing purposes, I shutdown the PDC and let the ADC up and running. Now, Whenever I try to access a shared folder on any server in the domain, I got this message "\\x.x.x.x is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."
Actually, the replication of AD objects and DNS records between the PDC and ADC is done successfully. I also can resolve names using the ADC's DNS. Also, I can ping servers hosting the files I want to access.
Appreciate your help.

The PDCe is required for a lot of services, to include DFS.
Turn the PDC back on and try again. If it's still not working, ensure the file server has the correct DNS entries on the NIC.
I think I see what you were trying to test. The issue is that not all DCs are equal. Yes, they hold the same information, but some DCs do extra work. That is why FSMOs exist.
Let me know how it goes.

Restrict workgroup computers in accessing my shared folder

How to restrict workgroup computers in accessing my shared folder.
And only allow a specific system in the workgroup to have full control access to that shared folder.
Operating System :Windows Server 2003

Hi Tiju,
You cannot restrict access to a folder using computer accounts. The access to the share folder can only giving to everyone or local accounts if the network environment is
Workgroup.
Because the computer account never tries to access the shared folders. The access attempt is made by the user account; and if the user account isn't in the ACL of the file, he won't get access.

Problem accessing smb share since change to Windows 8

Hy,
I have a smb share folder on my router (I connect a pen and is shared in the network), with no password.
I am able to access from Windows 7 and Linux, but not from Windows 8.
The reported error is:
The device or resource (SERVER) is not set up to accept connections on port "The File and printer sharing (SMB)".
Which is obviously wrong, since I can access it from other OS.
How can I solve this or get more information on the underlying issue.
I've read several threads in here about similar problems, but nothing worked in my case (services are running, smb-cifs is active and there's no error about IPRStackSize and I turned off firewall and antivirus).
Thanks in advance

is your network public or private? in order to access shares you need to be on a private network in windows 8.
Change Network Status Using Settings Charm
1. Press Windows Key + I combination on the keyboard to reveal the
Settings charm. Now in the bottom, click on the Network icon there. Alternatively, you can click on the
Network icon in the notification area on the
taskbar.
2. Now in the Networks section, right-click over the network whose status you’re looking for to change, select
Turn sharing on or off.
3. Finally, you have the options to select between Private and
Public status for your network. If you select Yes, turn on sharing or connect to devices, the network will be switched to Private status.

E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

Hi,
I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router. I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive. I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well- everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either... It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
Anybody have anything else for me to try?
Help!

Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem.
1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it.

Cannot access a shared folder Error code: 0x80070035

Hello Experts,
I have been working on this issue for like three days without a solution. I am truly desperate.
My company just purchased a new Cloud Server that we will use as our development environment for a software project. In order for all the developers (which are all over the US) to access the development environment, we need to have a few shared folders on
that new server.
As soon as we got the server I did the following:
1) Installed Active Directory
2) Created a directory and made it shared - yes IT IS shared.
3) I created a few new users on the new active directory domain
THE PROBLEM:
I can't access the shared directory.
Other developers have been successful in connecting to the shared folder (so the share is working) - all except me.
when I open explorer and type \\IPADDRESS\SHAREDFOLDER instead I get this error (I am not even asked for credentials)
Network Error
Windows cannot access \\IPADDRESS\SHAREDFOLDER
Error code: 0x80070035
The network path was not found.
Things I have already tried:
a) Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP - on all adapters - still did not help
b) Disable IPv6 - I am not sure how to check if it truly disabled
c) Turned off all firewalls - did not help
d) Mapping a Drive using different credentials - I just get asked for credentials over and over
e) Ping - yes I can see the server
f) My credentials are correct because I can Remote Desktop with the credentials with no problem ( I am administrator)
My Machine:
Brand New Asus G Series
Windows 7 Home Edition
Any ideas?
Sorcerdon

In my case it was that the OU that my system was in did not have firewall rules for network file and printer sharing enabled. I enabled all of the rules for Domain policy and that fixed it.
I noticed a lot of comments about turning off the firewall not working. I can't be 100% sure, but in my experience with Server 2008 and Windows 7, if you want to configure a service that uses the network the base filter engine and the firewall HAVE to be
turned on while you configure. You can turn the firewall off after configuration, but they have to be active during configuration.
Good luck!

Access local shared folder through Sharepoint 2013

Before we installed Sharepoint 2013 everyone within the company was sharing files and folders through a shared drive that is mapped to all the workstations. This shared folder on the server is very large, roughly 250gb in size.
I created a Sharepoint site called Document center using a Sharepoint template. Is there an easy way to either upload all those files and directories int sharepoint?
Or even easier, create a link on the sharepoint site that can connect to this shared drive so users can access these files.

You can use a data migration tool from a 3rd party, such as Metalogix, Metavis, AvePoint, or ShareGate to migrate file share content into SharePoint with the metadata (created by, last modified, etc.) intact. You can also use WebDAV (\\sharepointsite\) and
copy them in, but the metadata will be lost.
As far as integrating the file share into SharePoint, take a look at AvePoint's File Share Integration tool (http://www.avepoint.com/assets/pdf/doc6/DocAve_Connector_for_SharePoint_File_Share_Integration.pdf). This is the only one I'm aware of.

Cannot access a shared folder in TC with Windows XP

I have a Windows XP machine that has a network share to the time capsule. Basically, when I click on it, the folder opens as expected and displays the same contents that I see on my mac. But when I click on a shared folder within the TC folder, there are no contents in the folder - but actually there are hundreds of files within that folder.
I installed Bonjour on the XP machine, but it appears to be a printing application or something? plz help - it will save me headache.

How did you put this shared folder onto the TC?
If you copy a file/folder to the TC manually (drag&drop), any computer with access to the TC will be able to read it. I don't think an XP machine will be able to use a folder that was backed up to the TC using Time Machine.
If you manually copied the file/folder, and still can't access it from the XP machine, make sure that you've set the "workgroup" in the TC setup to be the same as the workgroup on the XP PC. Default for XP is Mshome. Also make sure that sharing is set to "read/write".
Have you tried connecting to the TC by clicking my computer/my network places/windows network/workgroup/time capsule, rather than using a network share?

How can a Win2K/XP user access my Shared folder as Guest?

Well, it's all in the question, guys. I don't want them to be able to log into my machine. All they need to do is send me some files or take some of mine from \Users\Shared. Surely it shouldn't be too difficult, right?
We're in an office wired LAN and I'm the only Mac among many incarnations of Windoze. Right now they all have to log in as 'Administrator' (just the accoune name, not the kind of account, of course...) but it means that I have to fiddle with the permissions of the shared dir in that user account so I can access it from my regular account ('Alex') and I would prefer something more straight forward. Such as a Guest User log-in option.
Many thanks.

Try Sharepoints. I'm not certain about this, but I think the only way to get access to a Mac over the network is to have an account on the Mac. So, you could set up "guest" as an account and let them log in as that, but it wouldn't give them access to the Shared folder. Sharepoints will let you "share" it out.

Access Linux shared folder from Windows OS

Hi,
From the web based Java application I need to copy a XML file from Windows OS to Linux OS in a shared folder.
For that we had used sambha and had mounted the shared directory in Linux OS and now we can access the folder by a user id guest with password guest.
Now from JSP web application how do I pass by default the user id and password so that when linux shared folder is acccessed it does not prompt for user id and password.
Thanks..

Thanks...
The folder is currently mounted. Currently what I need is how do I set my default user id and passowrd to the machine such that when the mounted drive is accessed it does not prompt me for the user id and password.
Currently The server and folder name is specified in a property file, Can we configure the user id and password too by default such that when its accessed it does not prompt for user is and password..
Thanks....

I use networkmanager, and samba is the last daemon to start....

Hi I have exactly the same problem. I'm pretty sure that somehow is related with the hardware of the computer, as only one of my computers seems to be affected by this problem. I'm I a networkmanager user. I have solved the issue by taking away samba from the daemons array in /etc/rc.conf (in fact I putted a ! in front what is the same). An the following the suggestion up. I have made a script "/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/30_samba":
#!/bin/sh
INTERFACE=$1 # The interface which is brought up or down
STATUS=$2 # The new state of the interface
case "$STATUS" in
'up') # $INTERFACE is up
exec /etc/rc.d/samba start
'down') # $INTERFACE is down
# Check for active interface and down if no one active
if [ ! `nm-tool|grep State|cut -f2 -d' '` = "connected" ]; then
exec /etc/rc.d/samba stop
fi
esac
as indicated in wiki networkmanager and pointed above. Finally, I set the permission for "30_samba" scrip to 755 and the ownership to root:root. Now it works.
Note: If I leave the samba daemon in the array or background it I get a weird problem as only the nmbd but not smbd in up after reboot.
I hope it helps to others. Still I found very weird this behaviour. It has been going on for a long while with this computer although I was lazy to dig in the reasons until now. I will really appreciate if someone more skilful could have a look to the problem.

Problems accessing iTunes media folder on external drive via Mac

I have recently got a Mac Book Pro and assumed it would be easy to access my iTunes library - which I store on a Buffalo external drive and normally access via my Asus vivobook laptop running windows 8 - by simplying plugging the external drive into the Mac Book Pro, opening iTunes while pressing on the Option key (as I understand it is called) and then selecting the iTunes library .itl file when invited to choose a library. However, when I do this, I get a message saying that "the .tl file is locked, on a locked disc or I do not have write permission for this file".
If I click on the .itl file in the external drive via my Mac, it takes me straight into iTunes but, of course, without any of the content of my iTunes media folder.
I can access the media on the external drive when it is plugged into my Mac and am not aware of ever having introduced any restrictions on the library .itl file (I normally switch the external hard drive between my Dell desktop and my Asus laptop).
I have restarted my Mac Book Pro and quite iTunes etc. I also have the media folder correctly identified on the external hard drive in my iTunes preferences, Advanced Settings.
I would be most grateful for any ideas as to what could be the problem here.
Thank you (in anticipation).
Best,
Michael

Get info on the drive. Check the format. If it says NTFS it is a format that Macs cannot write to, only read, unless you install special software. It is a common issue with using Windows drives on Macs. "Locked" may mean iTunes cannot open it for full use since it needs to write to the library file as well as read it.
Your solution may be to reformat the drive to something a Mac can use fully too, such as FAT (beware file size limits with large video files). or trying to work with a NTFS driver for Mac.

SMB shared folder size limited 10gb but I need more!

Hey.
I was just wondering this. Started to build SMB share for windows users, but all the shared folders I make are limited to 10gb size. Cant find a way to make ithem larger. There is like 1,8Tb of space on that HD so I don't really know why is it limiting to 10gb?

That is true. I have my users home directories on the same volume. God.. But atleast now I know whats going on.
It's just that now I have 2TB raid drive with about 60 10gb homes, the plan was to use it also for shared directories, but i guess I just have to divide it to 2 volumes then.
Thank you thank you thank you!
Happy holidays!

When accessing shared folder - 'You might not have permission to use this network resource" .. A device attached to the system is not functioning

On a Windows 2008 R2 server that had been working fine, all of a sudden some shared folders became inaccessible. Clicking on them returned the following: "<Folder> is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network
resource. A device attached to the system is not functioning."
If I create another share with a different name for that same folder, it works fine. If I delete the original share then recreate it with the same name, I get the same error. However, if I right click on the problematic share and select 'map
network drive' that works. So this would not appear to be a permission issue.
I discovered this problem because the path for mapping the home folder as a property of their AD account stopped working.
I have tried most of the common things found on the internet. I've tried accessing via IP, same issue. While I only have a couple 2003 servers, those can access this resource.
At this point, I'm pretty much out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated. I also have some reports of potential issues with some printer mappings too which I will have to investigate in the morning.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be extremely grateful. Thank you.

Hi,
Can you access the shard folder locally? Is a specific server cannot access the shared folder? Please try to Boot your server in Clean Mode to check if some third-party software cause the issue.
