[SOLVED] smbclient nt_status_access_denied

ted_chou12 · 10-25-2011, 01:48 PM

Hi, I am trying to use linux to access a shared folder on a windows computer, via smbclient. I can access that share anywhere from my other windows computer, but not able to access it from smbclient:

Code:

sh-3.1# smbclient "\\\\TED-PC\\My Documents" -N
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[Workgroup] OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7600] Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

I remember I was able to do it before with no problems at all. I didn't change any settings, but it's not working now

Thanks,
Ted

Did you upgrade anything? I assume this is Debian is that correct? Post your smb.conf please.

HI, thanks for your reply, I don't think that I have upgraded or changed anything. Or it could be myself, I forgot the commands precisely, probably a little varibles differed that caused it not to work anymore.

Thanks,

Post your smb.conf please.

Type testparm in a terminal windows and see what it says. I have a feeling you will be needing the netbios name of the computer you are trying to connect to. I know my configuration does.

Hi, some new stuff i have found, the smbclient works perfectly fine with the xp but not the win 7. eg:

Code:

$smbclient \\\\LAPTOP\\Downloads\\ -N
Domain=[LAPTOP] OS=[Windows 5.1] Server=[Windows 2000 LAN Manager]
smb :\>
$smbclient \\\\TED-PC\\Desktop\\ -N
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[Workgroup] OS=[Windows 7 Professional 7600] Server=[Windows 7 Professional 6.1]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

could it just be the windows version or some settings that I must change on my desktop win 7?
Thanks,
Ted

FYI smb.conf is only used for the server side i.e. windows connecting to a linux computer.

Most likely a windows 7 thing. Could be due to Windows live Essentials bug or windows 7 not liking anonymous login. If live essentials is installed try removing it. It might also help if you disable SMB2.

It is the problem of win live essential, you can't use even the messenger. Meanwhile stupid ms techs force you to use the newest windows live messenger which comes with the essential. I am trying to adapting to Trillian (another IM) instead of windows live. Yes, MS really suck.
Thanks,
