How to access Azure VM share folder

_{Thursday, January 10, 2019 5:36 PM}

Hi,

I had created a shared folder in our VM server.

I can access by private IP i.e. \10.0.0.4\share

but when I access by public IP, it failed i.e. \54.12.11.23\share

It shown network path not found.

I had turn off Windows Firewall inside the VM.

I had allow 139 / 445 port for both inbound and outbound.

But when I want to telnet 54.12.11.23 445 … it failed

What should I do that I can access the shared folder ?

Thanks !

Are you trying to access it via SMB?

I would suggest you start with this doc:

If the Azure VM is a Windows Server, make sure you've enabled the File Server role, which will allow SMB traffic thru the Windows firewall.
