![]() ![]() This is like naming your hard drives when you use HDToolbox. Volume – this is the name you want the share to have on your Amiga.Password – the password we set for the local user account earlier.Username – this is the name of the local user account we created earlier, in my case ‘Amiga’.Service – this is the name of the shared folder we created earlier, in my case ‘AmigaNet’.If you are unsure what it is refer back to the section in red where I told you to make a note of it during the ‘Creating a Shared Folder’ section. Hostname – this is the name of your PC, in my case ‘Gaming-Rig’.Workgroup – this will default to WORKGROUP and you can leave it like this but I entered the name of my own workgroup ‘LYONSDEN’.I called mine ‘PC Share’ but you can call yours anything you want. (Like the connections it came with when you first installed it for example). Name – this is an arbitrary label for the connection as it will appear in the SMBMounter list.Click on ‘New’ and then enter the details of your share using the guidance below to help you. The final hurdle is to configure the connection to our shared folder. If you already know how to do this then skip to the next section.įirstly using the start menu search enter ”netplwiz’ and then run the program that Windows finds. ![]() There are multiple ways to achieve this but I’m just going to describe one method which is very straightforward.

If they aren’t ticked, click in the little boxes to enable them and then click on OK. You want to see little check boxes next to ‘SMB 1.0/CIFS Client’ and ‘SMB 1.0/CIFS Server’. Scroll down the list until you get to the SMB section. Next extract the SMBMounter archive, run the installer and select ‘Intermediate User’ as shown below.Ĭhecking that SMB1 client/server is enabled. ![]() (Strictly speaking if you are comfortable with the command line then this is all you need but we’re going to install a GUI for it, hence the need for SMBMounter). We only need a single file from the SMBFS package so simply extract the LHA archive to your RAM disk and then copy the ‘SMBFS’ file to your C: drive. To begin with you need to download two packages off Aminet, smbfs-68k.lha and SMBMounter.lha. I’ll deal with the Amiga installation side of things first as that’s much more straightforward. You will also need a Windows based PC to create a shared folder on (or a suitable NAS that supports the SMB1). It’s quite a straightforward process and I’ll go through the whole thing from start to finish in this post.īefore going any further it’s assumed that you already have your Amiga networked and have configured a TCP/IP Stack as these are essential. It affords you not just the freedom to quickly access files you may have downloaded on your PC but also near unlimited extra storage for your Amiga.
