      In the File Manger application, when I authenticate with my passcode and then navigate to "Places", and then to "Network", "Network" is empty. But in my LAN there are samba servers that re recognized by other linux computers and android devices.

      Why is this empty? How do I access those servers?

        Samba is no longer working properly on UT file manager, so not easy to use.
        Try search the forum there are threads about that and workaround to make it work.

          @keneda Sadly, samba is hardly working as it should on most devices nowadays - at least in my experience. That's a shame but I wonder if there's an alternative for that kind of file sharing for linux in general... Sth that doesn't revolve around ftp or scp that is

              @dln949 I have enabled sudo mount / umount without password (visudo) then created my.desktop file in .local/share/applications :

              [Desktop Entry]
              Version=1.0
              Type=Application
              Terminal=false
              Exec=aa-exec /home/phablet/aa_myfiles/myscripts/samba.sh
              Icon=/home/phablet/.local/share/icons/smb.png
              Name=Samba
              X-Ubuntu-Touch=true
              X-Ubuntu-Default-Department-ID=accessories
              

              my simple script :

              #!/bin/bash
              
              if grep -qs '/phablet/SAMBA ' /proc/mounts ;
               
                 then   sudo umount /home/phablet/SAMBA ;
              
                 else   sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.your.ip/remote-path -o guest,nosetuids,noperm,rw /home/phablet/SAMBA
                  
              fi
              
              exit
              
              

              one tap for mount or umount (if already mounted) on my Redmi Note 4X it works fine.

              First try mount from command line.

              ^
