share can not be acessed when set to private

[cdoublejj]

share can not be accessed when set to private. did i put too long of a password in for the user account? using SMB with case sensitive yes and have EXPLICITLY assigned one single user RW. what am i missing?

You are probably already connected to the server using a different account. Windows will only allow one set of credentials to be used at a time, and even though it asks for a username and password, it'll never try it.

 

To confirm, temporarily set ALL exported shares to private, restart your client computer, and see what happens when you enter those credentials.

would this also cause problem for an ubuntu machine trying to connect? could i make a second service account and give it access to the share?

It shouldn't. What command are you using to mount it?

 

Have you tried what I said with the windows machine?

[cdoublejj]

i don't need it connect with a windows machine.

 

i have this in my fstab

//192.168.1.123/NextCloud /mnt/NextCloud cifs username=<user>,password=<password>,uid=1000,gid=100, 0 0

sudo -a gives permission denied error. even though the user name is spelled right the PW copy and pasted.

 

HOWEVER if i set it to public it will work.

Try

//<serverIP>/<share> <local mount point> cifs file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,_netdev,username=<user>,password=<password>,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

Be sure your local mount point has the correct permissions as well.

No. The brackets are just to designate things you need to customize.

maybe i should take the brackets off of the credentials in the current line i have now!?

If your credentials don't use brackets, yes. Brackets are perfectly legal characters in a password.

huh i can't LS even as sudo, nor mkdir

 

EDIT: rebooted and ran. sudo mount -a

 

i've had issue binding ubuntu 20.04 on other computers to smb as well. and NFS in unraid is broke and has been. LimeTech said the solution is to stop using it.

 

 

EDIT: i think SMB is broken on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and NFS is broken on unRaid 6.8 so i'm screwed.

Try putting the local mount point inside your home directory instead of /mnt

 

cd to your Documents folder, and mkdir Nextcloud there, don't use sudo. Then change the fstab local folder to /home/<ubuntu user>/Documents/Nextcloud

and see how you get on.

 

P.S. Please replace <ubuntu user> with the correct characters. Like /home/owner/Documents/Nextcloud, if your Ubuntu username was owner.
