Accessing hard drive on RPi from other Linux Comp

I used the app from the app store. There are no other shares to be seen. What you see here is all there is.

Reboot both devices.

On your OSMC box run smbclient -L localhost, the output should look like this. As yo can see there is one entry for OSMC share and another one for my external disk automount

osmc@osmc:~$ smbclient -L localhost
Enter osmc's password: 
Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Windows 6.1] Server=[Samba 4.2.10-Debian]

    Sharename       Type      Comment
    ---------       ----      -------
    osmc            Disk      OSMC Home Directory
    IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba 4.2.10-Debian)
    128G_video      Disk      Auto-mount Volume

Reboot both devices.

That did the trick. Thanks.

Which post do you want me to mark as providing the solution?

How about we write a summary?

  1. Install Samba from the OSMC app-store on Raspberry Pi;
  2. On the remote Linux computer, open the file browser;
  3. Select “Connect to Server”;
  4. Enter the smb://ip.of.my.raspberry.pi as an IP and select Windows Share as a server type (IP of Rpi found in OSMC network settings);
  5. Select the OSMC share and enter the OSMC username and password (both “osmc” by default);
  6. Reboot both devices in order to see mounted external drive folders.
