Click on the Apple Menu and click on the option labelled as System Preferences. In the new window that opens, click on the lock icon on the bottom of the screen is in case it is locked. And to unlock, you need to enter the password of the current user. Now, check the box just beside the File Sharing option.
Now, you need to have the folder that you want to share under Shared Folders section. If it is already there, then its well and good. Now under the Users section, choose the user with which you are currently logged in. Windows still says "Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password".
This is the only content on the web I can found that address this issue. Do you have to use the username "guest"? Are there any steps missing? Well here and here seem to suggest what you write here is not possible. The common solution seems to be to create a new user just for samba sharing or disabling the default samba and reinstalling it from source. If this comment is true, then what's available through Sys. Pref is a "home grown" Apple version of samba, which explains why installing Samba 3 works.
This is just too much work to do something as simple as anonymously share files with Windows. All in all, what's written here doesn't seem to coincide with the reset of the internet literature.
It definitely works with other apple machines, it maybe work with some flavors of linux and older versions of windows, but for me following your instructions fails on Windows 7. The first post is not reliable - the guy simply not able to set it up. The second seems more serious. Sorry, both posts were from me. One was just really late at night and was frustrated things weren't working. If you plan on using the server as a test server for your computer, only then do you not need to allow connections through the firewall; however, if you want to host pages for other computers to see, then you will need to allow connections.
Keep in mind that the steps so far will only keep the server running while the system is booted, so if you restart then the server will be disabled again. To enable the server even after subsequent reboots, then you will need to enable the launch daemon for the server, which can be done with the following command:. As with the previous command, this one can be reversed by repeating it but changing the "false" text to "true. If you need these, then they can be installed and enabled separately following the instructions in the guide by Coolest Guy Planet Tech.
When the configuration file's permissions have been set, run the following command to restart the server and load the file again before attempting your connections:. Have a fix? Post them below or e-mail us!
