How to obtain a copy of the Samba Server configuration for troubleshooting

Technical Articles ID: KB76781
Last Modified: 2022-09-12 20:18:09 Etc/GMT

Environment

Files and Removable Media Protection (FRP) 5.x

For FRP supported environments, see KB81149 - Supported platforms for File and Removable Media Protection.

Summary

This article explains how to obtain the configuration file for the Samba Server. The file is needed when you troubleshoot and reproduce an issue.

Solution

To obtain the configuration file for the Samba Server:

Log on to the Samba Server using a Secure Shell (SSH). Use either WinScp (preferred) or Putty.
To navigate to /etc, type the following:

cd /etc/
To verify that the file smb.conf file is available, type the following:

ls -la smb.conf

If you can't find the file, look for the directory in either of the following paths:

/etc/samba

/etc/smb/
To change to the directory, type either of the following commands:

cd /etc/samba

cd /etc/smb
Copy the file smb.conf file. Use either the left panel of WinSCP, or copy from the Linux shell using the cp command.

NOTE: The location of the smb.conf file can change depending on the Operating System version, kernel, and customization performed by the issuer of that release. When in doubt, ask the customer for the location. Otherwise (as a last resort), try the command-line option to output the location. Type find -iname smb.conf
