Windows Networking – Access Shared Folder on Windows 10 from Windows XP

Classically, this can be caused by users cutting and pasting files into a share. This means that if the files (at source) were set to not inherit permissions from the parent folder, when they are cut & paste to the destination, they keep their old permissions.

If you want to use the GUI, try clicking Places -> Connect to Server.... For Service Type choose Windows share, and fill out the fields like so:

Server: 192.168.1.66
Share: SharedFolder

Then download your file from the window. If you want to use a command-line interface, smbclient uses a FTP-like interface (get, put, etc.):

~$ smbclient //192.168.1.66/SharedFolder
Password:
smb: \> get Data.html

Alternatively, you could mount the share as a CIFS filesystem: (First, ensure that cifs-utils is installed)

~$ sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.1.66/SharedFolder /mnt

If your share requires authentication, provide the username to smbclient with the -U option, or to mount with -o user=username
