Cannot connect to Samba on OSMC

Help and Support
1

version 20.5

I installed Samba on OSMC from the shopping cart. OSMC says the Service is Running.

I open NETWORK in Linuxmint and it shows osmc, OSMC and Samba shares on osmc.

When I try to connect each one gives an error message

osmc - unable to mount location, hostname not known
OSMC - unable to mount location, unable to retrieve share lit from server, connection refused
Samba shares on osmc - unable to mount location, unable to retrieve share lit from server, connection refused

Any help appreciated.

Is the your own create shares or automounts that get shared? Eg. Did you write your own shares in /etc/smb.conf? Or is this just drives that you connect via for example USB?

I have diffrent suggestions depending on how you shared the drives, that is a vital part.

I installed Samba in OSMC, I did not make any changes to smb.conf. I only want to connect to OSMC from a linux computer to transfer files to OSMC.

and the drive is just connected to usb, mounted in /media, right?

I will test the two solutions here at home and get back to you during the holiday.
