Dual booting Ubuntu 18.04 with Windows 10.



I realised Windows files are not visible by default, unlike in the past.



Mounting the filesystem directly doesn't work.



Steps I have tried include the steps outlined here, for a similar question. The suggestions do not work, because I get the error mount: /home/a/shared: mount(2) system call failed: Connection refused.



When I try to access the shared folder by typing smb://192.168.1.102, as stated here, I am unable to do so, because I get the error Unhandled error message: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Connection refused.



To reiterate, I already have a folder that I am sharing through Windows Sharing Centre and smbclient is installed on Ubuntu. I just cannot connect to it and I can't figure out why.



Any help would be much appreciated. Otherwise I would probably need to switch to a distribution that lets me access my Windows files by default. Thank you.

  • You can easily temporarily mount a Windows NTFS partition by opening a Files (Nautilus) window, and clicking on the volume in the left pane. For permanent mounting, you'll have to add a mount in /etc/fstab. In EITHER case, you really shouldn't be mounting your C: partition as you'll potentially cause damage to Windows, and it may give errors on the next Windows boot. You can't smbclient to an Windows OS that is not running at the time.

I have a dual boot Windows 10 (pro)/Ubuntu 18.04 system. I just grabbed a file by opening "Other Locations" from the Gnome files tool, then navigating to the Windows drive, then navigating to a location where the file was that I wanted.



One thing to remember is file permissions. check them in both directions. I would not be inclined to literally "share" files between the two systems in general (That's why I dual boot), but for copying resources like text files or images and so forth? I don't have any issues.
