Changing the SMB password. Possible? ** solved **
Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 11:00 am
Hi,
I have installed another meteohub with friends.
Because I manage the meteohub part it would be handy to have remote access to meteohub´s SMB folders.
In order to achieve this, SMB must be exposed to the internet.
But then clearly I needed to change the default SMB password.
So my questions are:
1. Can the default SMB password changed with smbpasswd?
and
2. would that have any negative side effect for meteohub´s internal routines?
3. As an alternative:
Would it be possible to transfer files to meteohubs graphs folder via SSH?
Danke,
W.
