Es File Explorer Pro Troubles accessing a smb share on ubuntu
Please try the following :

Open terminal and type cd /etc/samba/

sudo gedit smb.conf (Just edit it with super user privileges on you favorite text editor). Delete all the text you see here, make the file empty.

Now type in the file:



[Name you want to get shown of the folder]
path = path of folder you want to share
browseable = yes
read only = no


Save it and exit. now open terminal and type smbpasswd -a 'username. Note that this username must be the name of user present on your Linux machine. Then type and confirm the password. this password can be anything.

Then type next commands service smbd start  press enter, then service nmbd start press enter.


Thats it for Linux Machine. now you can browse it from ES file explorer. just go to lan and search. Remember to keep your Android device and Linux machine in same network before proceeding. if your machine shows up, type username and password you entered for samba server and not Linux username and password. it should connect as i use this process myself and it works 100%. Inform us if this works for you too.
