Enabling Samba Service to connect to Ubuntu using ES File Explorer in Android
Raw
samba.md

Trick samba into thinking that every remote user is you ( at least as far as that share is concerned ) by doing something like this:

Press Alt+F2 & Type this in Terminal

sudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf

In the [global] section add the following line:

force user = bob

Save the file and restart samba:

sudo service samba restart

If the above command gives error then type this

service smbd restart
