I want make two Samba share for two users. I use this way but i cant connect to the share. I set password too for pi with "smbpasswd -a ". I enter username as 'pi' and password but it is not connect.

edit:

I followed the steps in the link. But when I try to connect, it returns to the password entry screen again. It is not logging in. I didn't do anything other than that.

  • You should provide more details than 'i cant connect'.

From your description, it seems you've set up the smbpasswd incorrectly. Enter the command exactly as shown below:

smbpasswd -a pi

You should then be prompted to enter a password for user pi. Type in this password at the prompt, and hit the Enter key.

I would use the same password you currently use to log in to your RPi (contrary to the advice given in the tutorial). Also, sometimes it helps to read another tutorial; you could try this one.
