At home, I have two machines (Ubuntu Saucy & OSX Mavericks) connected to my iPhone hotspot. My iPhone is my gateway and I can access the internet from both machines.
Both machines are also able to resolve the IP address of the other when I use ping hostname.local
. However PING always returns:
"Destination Host Unreachable" when I ping OSX.local from Ubuntu, and
"Request timeout for icmp_seq##" when I ping Ubuntu.local from the Mac
SETTINGS
Ubuntu:
I installed samba and it's dependencies using sudo apt-get install samba samba-tools system-config-samba cifs-utils
. I have shared my user's Public
folder without password.
I have UFW turned off. Ubuntu is connected to the iPhone via wireless (ip 172.20.10.3)
Mac:
I have enabled File Sharing for my user's Public
folder with read access to everyone.
Other settings are default. OSX is connected to the iPhone through the USB (ip 172.20.10.2)
OTHER
On Ubuntu: in Nautilus' Browse Network
window; I can see two icons for OSX(File Sharing), Ubuntu, and Windows Network.
On OSX: I can't see anything in the Network
folder (though I see home
and net
at the same level, and both are also empty)
When I double click the OSX(File Sharing) icon, I get a message 'Unable to access location'.
Any suggestions on what else I should do to enable file sharing between the two?
Cheers,
Nap
