[GiGaBlue QUAD+ PLUS] Samba and Network

[leshay]

Hi
I note the post by Rob van der Does regarding Samba, but I am at a loss as to the procedure to transfer the two files across from my PC. I think it would involve Telnet - if so, can someone walk me through the steps to get these 2 files over? I am using Windows 8.1 on a Surface Pro 3, with a wireless connection to my router which in turn the Gigablue is hard wired to. I have Samba on the Gigablue which refuses to start (maybe this is the issue addressed by these 2 files). I have never used Telnet before.

You seem to be confusing 3 different networking protocols.
Telnet, samba and ftp. Google will show what each does.

You can still use ftp to transfer any files even if you haven't got samba working yet.

Use Filezilla, it is the easiest with a GUI client. Try quick connect, use the IP address of your ViX box, and Root as the account with blank password if I recall correctly.

In the right hand pane you can tree walk to enigma2/samba; you can then delete or rename your smb.conf and rename the smb.opkg file to smb.conf - all will be good then, and Samba will start

I didn't mention ftp, but your mention of my confusion is correct. I will try ftp now.

Hi
Thanks, have used Filezilla to rename 2 files, then copied over Rob's 2 files and all working now. Filezilla looks good.
