Linux Mint share asks for password in Windows 7

Train · 01-18-2015, 07:11 PM

In Linux Mint, I have right clicked on a folder and selected
"Sharing Options" -> checked the boxes to "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" and "Guest Access..."

When I access the shared folder on Windows 7 it asks for a password. If I type a password in, it works.

I would like to configure it to not ask for a password, but just open the share.

You might look at storing the password in the Windows Credential Manager under alternate credentials.
