What happens if you try public guest access (ie without needing to specify a
username and password)

[cumulus]
Comment = Cumulus weather station data and web pages
Path = /home/pi/CumulusMX
Browseable = yes
Writeable = Yes
only guest = no
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
Public = yes
Guest ok = yes
mangled names = no

The only significant different between your entry and mine is public=yes/no.

I notice that you have guest ok=yes. I'd have thought if you wanted to make
Windows users have to specify a username/password to connect, you'd want to
turn off guest access - but I may be wrong.
