How do I access shared folders on Linux (CachyOS) without guest access?

Operating System ZimaOS

Hi,

I’m currently using ZimaOS 1.5.1 and trying to access shared folders on my CachyOS installation.

Samba doesn’t seem to se anything unless I use guest access on the shared folders which means it’s insecure.

Is there any way to access shares using credentials through Dolphin?

Did you ever figure out a way? I am having the same issue.
I had no trouble accessing samba shares from Mac OS or Windows clients, but in CachyOS I can see my Zima OS server but it will not ask for credentials nor can I figure out a way to give them to show me any of the shared folders.

Actually, I just found a sort-of solution.

I followed these steps here to enable SSH on my Zima OS NAS.

Then in Dolphin I was able to use sftp:// instead of smb://, which operated as expected. If you have multiple drives of shares, you may have to view hidden files to navigate to them. Using control + H to see hidden files in Dolphin, you can now navigate to ./media to see other drive shares.

`Hope this helps you or anyone else, it seems to be working for me.

had the same issue on my first use of cachy, I had to install samba package and related dependencies. The cachyos-samba-settings package provides default configurations and enables the smb and nmb services, then create and add credentials to the samba credentials file and mount drives with fstab. there was a guide on the cachyos forum for it I followed. haven’t had to do anything else since and the drives are always auto mounted at boot.
