Make all Raspi files available in your network via samba https://www.samba.org/

Attention: this exposes your Raspi files in the network!

Make root a samba user

and give it a secret password:

smbpasswd -a root

(An empty password might not be allowed here)

Edit the config file

vi /etc/samba/smb.conf

add at the end:

[raspi]
    comment = raspi share
    path = /
    valid users = root
    public = yes
    writable = yes
    create mask = 0765

Reboot

or restart samba service form the command line to make the changes active:

/etc/init.d/samba stop  
/etc/init.d/samba start

Now, on the build host: use File Explorer (Nautilus).

Browse the Network

Windows Network > MYGROUP > RASPBERRYPI3

On first connect, you are prompted for user credentials. Enter

  • user: root
  • domain: WORKGROUP
  • pass:

Note: After pressing Crtl+L in Nautilus, you may enter a direct link like smb://raspberrypi3/raspi.
