Please see my configuration screen SSH is server is enabled but cannot loging from windows pc with global user id and password of DIetpi
We are not talking about SSH server. You need to install Samba server
have installed the same. How can we check if its running
I feel its the permission issue. when logging through windows pc using 192.168.1.9/dietpi
i get the message you dont have permission to access even after giving the user id and pass word
Erro message
Probably user /password is wrong. You could try to reset/change this.
Please show how to reset the password
smbpasswd <username>
getting error"Failed to find entry for user root."
So you didnāt add the root user to samba, no wonder why it has no permission.
You can add an account for root with:
smbpasswd -a root
As already stated more than once. User is dietpi
again, did you had a look into our online documentation? There the whole stuff around changing user password and adjusting export folder are explained.

After setting the password not getting this error in windows while access the dietpi
Can you please share your samba config?

OMG
You have no idea on what you are doing, right? Because you just copied the place holder into configuration file. It would need to be replaced which your real folder taget that you would like to export.
Yes your are correctā¦Thanks ā¦ Can you help me out as iam not a developer, just beginnerā¦
Please help me out with your code to get it corrected.
