      Hi, first of all hello and I look forward to getting to know and understand more of MagicMirror over time. I am very new to all this and a total noob, I have managed to set up MM and add some modules but I am trying to set up Samba to remote access the files so i am able to update and add modules from my PC to MM. I have managed to set up a shortcut on Windows to remote access and I am able to see all the files on my Pi, thing is when I click a file to edit when saving I get told to try again in Admin mode and then that still fails and I get a notification Save Failed - Please check if this is file is opened in another program? I have no idea as I have tried shutting everything down and all kind of options but to no avail, any ideas please? PS sorry for the wall of text.

      Thiis is the code I have added on the bottom of Samba config:

      [share]
      Comment = Pi shared folder
      Path = /
      Browseable = yes
      Writeable = Yes
      only guest = no
      create mask = 0777
      directory mask = 0777
      Public = yes
      Guest ok = yes

        @Nero easier, use the bitvise ssh client, then u can drag/drop, double click to edit, and have an ssh window open for commands too… free… easy

          @sdetweil thanks for a quick response, I can try this tomorrow after work. How easy is it to set up to access the Files on my Pi? Bear in mind I’m pretty amateur still. Cheers

                Another good solution (for me) is WinSCP.
                You can open js files e.g. in notepad++ from winSCP.
                Drag+drop works as well.
                And ssh terminal supported as well.

                  @lavolp3 yes, but bitvise opens BOTH types of connections at the same time.
                  I used WinSCP before, but always wanted an SSH command session open too…

                  I have 5 MM system connections open at once
