How to access samba server in Ubuntu without password

Assume that the shared directory is /var/wwwroot

sudo vim /etc/samba/smb.conf

Modify the content in the file [gloab] from security=user to security=share

Add the following lines at the end of the file:

[share]

path=/var/wwwroot

available=yes

browseable=yes

public=yes

writable=yes

guest OK = yes

[global] defines global configuration, and workgroup is used to define workgroups. I believe that if you have installed a Windows system, you will be familiar with this workgroup. Under normal circumstances, we need to change MYGROUP here to WORKGROUP (the default workgroup name of Windows).

security = user #Specify the security level of samba here. There are four types of security levels:

share: Users can log in to the samba server without an account or password.

user: The samba server providing the service is responsible for checking the account and password (default)

server: another windows or samba server is responsible for checking accounts and passwords

domain: Specify the windows domain control server to verify the user's account and password.

The default group of the samba service installed in ubuntu is WORKGROUP. Use the command to test:

sudo smbclient -L //localhost/wwwroot

Tips:

WARNING: The security=share option is deprecated

Enter root’s password:

There is no need to enter the password, just press Enter.

You can see that wwwroot has been used as a shared disk.
