I want to update the firmware on my HP Procurve 1810 switch using samba.
I have downloaded the firmware updates and can access the switch-management-SW via firefox using URL 192.168.2.10.
I have setup samba, my smb.conf file
[global]
server string = File Server
workgroup = HP_Procurve
security = user
map to guest = Bad User
name resolve order = bcast host
include = /etc/samba/shares.conf
my shares.conf file
[Public Files]
path = /share/public_files
force user = smbuser
force group = smbgroup
create mask = 0664
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
public = yes
writable = yes
[Protected Files]
path = /share/private_files
force user = smbuser
force group = smbgroup
create mask = 0664
force create mode = 0664
directory mask = 0775
force directory mode = 0775
public = yes
writable = no
[Anonymous]
path = /share/anonymous
browsable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
force user = nobody
I restart samba
The firmware file P.1.6.stk is in /share, /share/private_files, /share/public_files, and in /share/anonymous.
Next, from the switch-management firmware-update menu, I select:
Update_Method=TFTP
Server_IP=192.168.2.12 ( a static address IPv4)
File_Name=P.1.6.stk
Update_Type=code
Image=backup
The download fails.
I’m totally new to samba.
Q1) Can this approach work?
Q2) What have I left out?
Thank you.
