How to set up SAMBA on ubuntu with a 2tb drive connected to my dlink router?

  • 772

I tried mounting the network drive on all 5 computers in my home with smbfs: //192.168.1.1/USB_Storage /media/Shared_drive cifs guest 0 0

It works but I just think samba might be more secure. I have some guest users on those computers and they can access that drive too which I don't want. I only want specific users able to see that drive connected to my router.

    First of all you have some extra garbage in /etc/fstab - the string to your /etc/fstab after the last 0 does not belong there.

    If your router allows you to password-protect your share that do that and consult the official ubuntu wiki page about how to store that password in your /etc/fstab
