Setting up a shared filesystem with Windows XP and QEMU

I'm trying to set up a shared filesystem with Windows XP using qemu's virtiofs or samba service (or any other option to send files to the guest system) but have been unable to figure out any method which works on Windows XP due to age making the protocols it uses deprecated for security.
Does anyone have experience here and if so what the best solution is?

Re: Setting up a shared filesystem with Windows XP and QEMU

You need to set these extra settings in smb.conf

server min protocol = NT1
lanman auth = yes
ntlm auth = yes

After adding this you should be able to connect to samba server from Windows XP using the usual smb.conf

Just make sure you don't expose the samba server to any public network.

By usual smb.conf do you mean the file in:

/etc/samba/smb.conf

or the file generated in:

/tmb/qemu-smb.<string>/smb.conf

?
