Enable Passwordless SMB Access

This page explains the method to create a passwordless Samba access that can be used for triggering file downloads from a remote server.

The following lines have to go into the config file of the smb service,

[share]              
browseable = yes
path = /samba
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 777

Next the folder permissions have to be set right as follows,

sudo chown -R nobody.nogroup file.exe
Sudo chmod 777 filename
