WINDOWS AND LINUX. Folder access problems share and local. folder is not available. If the location is on this computer

Purpose

Acces a folder created and share in a linux server fron a Windows system (local and net)

Explanation

I share a HD with NTFS format from Linux samba to Windows Clients. When the Windows clients try access some folders have access errors, if I try connect with a Linux client I don't have problmes.

I have gone crazy until I have found a pattern and I have solved it, it has taken me several days to test.

English msg error:

"not available. If the location is on this computer, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and try again. If the location is on a network, make sure it is connected to the network or the Internet, and then try again. If you still can't find the location, it might have been moved or removed."

Spanish msg error:

" no está disponible. Si la ubicación está en este equipo, asegúrese de que el dispositivo o la unidad esté conectado o que el disco esté insertado, e inténtelo de nuevo. Si la ubicación está en una red, asegúrese de que esté conectado a la red o a Internet, y después inténtelo de nuevo. Si aún así no encuentra la ubicación, esta podría haberse movido o eliminado."

Solution: Rename the folder name WITHOUT dot "." at the end from linux system
