Hi everyone,
i have a problem with the file system connector and after many hours of reading i like to ask for help.
I like to setup a flow that copies files from a file system to a sharepoint. A simple and straight forward task. But i am niot able to access the files.
The files are located on a linux machine that provides a share with samba. From my local machine i have access to this share using the exploerer or the "net use" command.
The share has its own local credential on the samab server. Let assume i made it easy:
User: automate
Pwd: automate
Machine: \\samba.thing.home or \\10.42.110.42
and in explorer i see a folder called demo and i am allowed to open it and copy files to it
Now i move over to Power Automate and create a "File System" connector as follows
As you see the root folder points to my samba share and the username is ".\automate". The .\ is the local domain of the server is know it right. Passwort as shown above and selected my lokal gateway. (I have no problem to access a local folder using the gateway). The samab server is not connected to any domain.
In the flow i use the following connected to my connector
Now i try to select the demo folder and get this error message
If i am using wron credentials in the connector i get a 403 eroor complaining about wrong credentials.
What am i doing wrong or how can i fix the probelm. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Thomas
