I am not sure what to do any longer
I am wondering if all this could be a problem with the firewall of the router,

i can access the usb hard drive with ssh but the router/samba does not even show up in windows file explorer.
The router does appear in ios with a file explorer app but then i can not access the shared directory
Change (/etc/samba/smb.conf.template
)
null passwords = yes
null passwords = no
/etc/init.d/samba restart
Please post the output of:
cat /etc/config/samba
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
cat /etc/samba/smbpasswd
ls -lsa /path/to/share
What happens:
\\<router ip>

@cbx200 I read your Private Message...looking over my previous notes, I only changed the following line from default:
#Change security = user to security = share
I also have this note:
Ports 137-139 are for NetBios/Name resolution. Without it you will have to access machines by IP address opposed to NetBIOS name. Example \\192.168.1.100\share_name opposed to \\my_file_server\share_name
So port 445 is sufficient if you can work with IP addresses only.
Yes indeed
I am trying to access a USB HD attached to my open wrt router/SMB via windows or a file explorer in iOS.
Windows does not “see” the router
Within iOS I get a request for user password all the time. But the user pass I set don’t work. Same authentication request appears even if I set security = share
I think this has to do with permissions authorizations for the router to access the usb HD.
I saw you had written about it, but I am very new to all this and I don’t understand what needs to be done
Thanks a lot
Very clear
I had reinstalled fresh the routers firmware and formatted the usb drive with fat 32
I have not set up any user.
I can now access the usb drive from iOS and windows but I can’t write it from windows
I am now in the middle on implementing your suggestions above but the ones related to user.
I will report
Not sure what the mask values are. Where can I read about it. I have googled but not really understood.
Is it the same as the permission given for a drive/ directory?
Rgds
Hi JW0914
I have executed what you suggested, and I can access the usb and the new directory from iOS but the router does not appear in windows explorer as it did before
I have mapped the IP address of the router to windows explorer and I receive the message device detected but not answering
What can I do now?
Thanks
If your firewall is closed, have you opened the required ports for Samba?
I was wondering whether i need to open the ports of the router if I am in the same network and because before doing the changes I could see the router and access it in windows
So perhaps is not a ports issue?
Hi all again
Now I can access to the usb drive attached to the router from windows, although I had to map the drive and from iOS, but I can only read , not write or delete
How can I change the permissions.?
I am posting the config files again
Thanks
here the output of the config updated. I can delete now but not write i set the mask and permissions to 0777 in order to have full access , as this is only for home use. however i still can not write from windows to the usb drive connected to the router

i am not posting the password bit because i have not set up any user/password after i reinstalled the firmware
What I would need now is full read/write/execute permissions to the usb drive.
Plus to manage that the usb drive is visible in windows file explorer without mapping the unit (it has been suggested this can be a port issue with the router?)
thanks again

hi
still can not write to the usb drive, i gave 0777 permissions again to no avail
regards
the same if i want to delete a file, i get this message:
File access denied
You require permission from S -1-22-1-0 to make changes to this file
i have added
min protocol= smb2
which was missing
hi
i still didnt manage i can only read, neither write nor delete, despite i set out the authorisation at 777
what do you think?
thanks
I think I vaguely remember someone else having this problem, but I can't find the thread unfortunately, from what I remember they had to change permission for the drive itself, rather than the files. So you might try hooking the drive directly to your comp and make sure you have full permissions on the drive itself.
