I downloaded the samba package from arch (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/samba#Client)

Then I enabled Network discovery as described in this article: https://websiteforstudents.com/access-windows-10-files-ubuntu-17-04/

I also made sure my Windows 10 workstation domain is WORKGROUP

Then I went back to arch and created the needed config in /etc/samba/smb.conf with the content of https://git.samba.org/samba.git/?p=samba.git;a=blob_plain;f=examples/smb.conf.default;hb=HEAD (recommended by Arch)

Within the config I changed the following property:

workgroup = WORKGROUP

Now it is equal with the Windows 10 workstation domain.

When finished I ran the following command:

smbclient -L W10 (where W10 is the IP of my Windows 10). I made sure the host is pingable before

Following prompt appears:

Enter WORKGROUP/root's password: *****
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

The password was actually right so there is something else not working. I also wonder how to change the username WORKGROUP/root it appends automatically. Because the login username of my machine is xetra11 and not root

You need to specify the username. If you don't it uses your local username.

From the man page, add -U «username». So smbclient -U xetra11 -L W10
