It's powered by 5V up to 2A
In OrangePi PC+ you have by WiFi and by Ethernet
Step 3: Server
In almost every mini pc like OrangePi and RaspberryPi we use "Samba"
Step 1: Install samba
# sudo apt-get install libcups2 samba samba-common cups
# sudo apt-get install samba
Step 2: Backup the .conf file:
sudo mv /etc/samba/smb.conf /etc/samba/smb.conf.bak
Step 3: Make a new .conf file
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Step 4: Fill this file
""" [global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server %v
netbios name = "The name"
security = user
map to guest = bad user
dns proxy = no """
If you don't know your workgroup name use this command :
"net config workstation"
ctrl + X and Y to close the file
Step 5: Make a directory
mkdir -p /home/"your username"/"the name of the folder"
Step 6: Fill more things in the .conf file
sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
""" ["the name of the folder"]
comment = "Your comment"
path = /home/"your username"/"the name of the folder"
writeable=Yes
browsable=Yes
create mask=0777
directory mask=0777 """
Step 7: Make a user
pi@orangepiplus2e:~$ sudo smbpasswd -a "user"
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Step 8: Start, stop, restart, status
sudo systemctl start smbd.service
sudo systemctl stop smbd.service
sudo systemctl restart smbd.service
sudo systemctl status smbd.service
(I'm using these two)
Step 4: Mount Hdd/flash to the Server
sudo fdisk -l
mount /dev/"it's something like sda, sdb, sdc, you can read the description in after fdisk" /home/"your username"/"the name of the folder"
mount | grep sda/sdb/sdc(or something)
Step 5: Restart
You have to restart after every drive change!
Step 6: Open in Windows
