Example
To make some RouterOS folder available through SMB service follow these steps:
- create user:
/ip smb user add read-only=no name=mtuser password=mtpasswd
- add shared folder
/ip smb share add name=backup
- enable SMB service
/ip smb set enabled=yes
Now check for results:
- Check general service settings:
/ip smb print
[admin@MikroTik] /ip smb> print
enabled: yes
domain: MSHOME
comment: MikrotikSMB
allow-guests: yes
interfaces: all
- SMB user settings:
/ip smb users print
[admin@MikroTik] /ip smb> users print Flags: * - default, X - disabled # NAME PASSWORD READ-ONLY 0 * guest yes 1 mtuser mtpasswd no
- And finally SMB shares settings:
/ip smb shares print
[admin@MikroTik] /ip smb> shares print
Flags: X - disabled, I - inactive, * - default
# NAME DIRECTORY MAX-SESSIONS
0 * ;;; default share
pub /pub 10
1 backup /backup 10
Now additional configuration changes can be done, like disabling default user and share etc.
