Asked By CuriousCoder23 On

I've successfully installed Samba and managed to map my first drive to access it from my Windows PC. Now I'm trying to set it up for my external HDD, but I'm running into access errors. I'm using Ubuntu 24.02 and my main PC is running Windows 11. Can someone guide me through the process?

You should check the permissions for your user in the Samba configuration file and also for the mount point on Linux. Make sure that the path to your external HDD is correctly set up in the `smb.conf` file.

How do I check that exactly? Do I need to edit the `smb.conf` file with `sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf` and navigate to the path I created for my HDD?
