Use a network share or SMB protocol to connect to the Windows folder.
Use a network share or SMB protocol to connect to the Windows folder.
You're facing an issue with accessing shared folders between Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04.1. Have you tried configuring SMB settings or using a network adapter that supports SMB? Also, check if the folder permissions are set correctly on your Windows side. Let me know if you need further guidance!
Determine if you need to use the command line or your plans involve the graphical interface. The GUI offers convenience, but you can also connect via SMB from the CLI. If certain subfolders or files aren't reachable, it may indicate permission problems on the Windows side.
You mentioned using Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS. Did you mean Ubuntu Server 20.04.1 LTS? I thought you were referring to the desktop edition because you didn't specify the server version. The server doesn't have a graphical interface, though it can be installed if needed. Personally, I think this setup will focus on CLI operations.
For desktop users, navigate to Files -> Other Locations. At the bottom of the window, click Connect to Server. On the right side, enter server addresses. Follow the provided template: smb://192.168.0.X/. Change the IP in the command to match your SMB share. Remember your device likely uses DHCP; consider reserving an IP in your router or assign a static one for future needs.
I encounter an error; can't reach the location. Couldn't fetch the share list from the server—connection lost during reset. The IP address shown in the "IPV4" section is the one displayed when I type "ipconfig" into my cmd terminal on my Windows machine with the shared folder. 192.168.1.75
Yes, I checked that all Windows clients on the network should have permission to access this share.
