To copy a file from Linux to windows, you have to create a new folder, i.e., “Share,” in the home directory, as shown below. On checking the Windows “Share” folder, we have got to know that the file from Ubuntu’s “Share” folder is also here, as demonstrated below. We have added a new text file from our Ubuntu system to this folder. The folder “Share” from the windows system will be opened in your Ubuntu 20.04 system, as shown below. You have to add a registered user’s name, domain name, and password for the Ubuntu 20.04 system. $ Smb: //ip-address-of-windows /foldernameĪ dialogue shown below will appear. At the text bar, write the simple URL command of the format shown below to get the shared file from the Windows system. Open the file explorer within the Ubuntu 20.04 system and tap on the “Other locations.” You will check the “Connect to server” option at the bottom of the screen. You can also see the file path shown in the below image.
Your folder is now shared, and anyone can access it. Tap on the “Share” button to continue applying the changes. So, we have added the user “Everyone” and assigned it to read/write privileges for this folder. As there is only one owner of this folder right now, you have to add a new user here.

So, right-click on it and hover over the “Give access to” option. As you can see from the image beneath, we have named “Share.” We need to update the privileges of this folder to allow remote users access. Now, within the windows “Local Disk©” directory, you have to create a new folder to be shared.
