Access files on 825 from Windows PC

The samba package is included to provide support for windows file sharing for 825 to act as a server

To use Samba in the "Setup Network Services" screen set "Samba File Sharing (SMB)" to "On". In some cases it may also be necessary to set "NetBIOS (NMB)" to "On".

The default configuration provides access to screen capture files.

nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

With a USB keyboard attached to the 825 the "Windows" key and "S" or "Command" key and "S" will capture the screen to the weston directory. This can be accessed from a PC on the same network as the 825. If using Windows in the File Explorer address bar type

\\ip_address_of_825

Alternatively, in many network environments the hostname of the 825 may be used instead of the IP address such as:

\\card825gen2
