What are you using to share the data? Is it Samba?

You will need to set a Samba password on the server then. Run:

sudo smbpasswd -a $USER

(you don't need to change the command above in any way). You will need to authenticate sudo, then you will be setting your credential. I suggest you simply use the same login password. Then when you are asked to authenticate, use the username you ran the command as, followed by the passport you just set

How do you set the password in Samba?
