Samba Share

Lightshark has an active Samba server that allows us to create a File Server and Shared Resources. In this way we will be able to share files and directories from Linux computers to Windows computers, macOS and with GNU/Linux computers. 

LightShark has two shared network directories, the shows folder and the fixtures library folder.

Connection from Windows 10 

With the arrival of Windows 10 April 2018 Update Microsoft disabled by default the SMB/CIFS 1.0 protocol.

In order to install this protocol manually in the latest version of Windows 10, what we must do is open the Control Panel of the operating system (searching from Cortana "Control Panel" and, from it, we enter the "Programs" section. From here, click on "Turn Windows features on or off" to go to this section.
