Ubuntu how to access samba server without password

samba is the software that implements SMB protocol on Linux system. Many users don't know much about samba server. I don't know Ubuntu can access samba server without password. How to achieve it? Let's take a closer look at how to access the samba server without a password.

directory is assumed to be shared /var /wwwroot

SUMMARY sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

modified file [gloab] The security =user is changed to security=share

Add the following line at the end of the file:

[share]

path=/var/wwwroot

available = yes

browseable = yes

public = yes

writable = yes

guest ok = yes

[global] Define global configuration , workgroup is used to define the working group, I believe that if you have installed the windows system, you will be familiar with this workgroup. Under normal circumstances, we need to change the MYGROUP here to WORKGROUP (windows default working group name).

security = user #This specifies the security level of samba. There are four levels of security:

share: Users do not need an account and password to log in to the samba server

user: the samba server providing the service is responsible for checking the account and password (default)

server: Checking accounts and passwords is handled by another windows or samba server

domain: Specify the windows domain control server to verify the user's account and password.

The default group of samba services installed in ubuntu is WORKGROUP, use the command test:

sudo smbclient -L //localhost/wwwroot

Tip:

WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated

Enter root’s password:

The password is not entered, just press Enter.
