[ILUG] Sharing folders on External USB drive

[Mick O'Toole]

What is strange is that if I share a folder that is not on the external USB
drive I can access it fine however trying to access files on the External
USB drive does not allow access even though I can see the folder listed on a
Windows machine.

Can anyone suggest any other solutions?

Thanks in advance,

Mick
