-a- for install samba i recommend to install server AND client ( even your concept not require that now. )
-b- link the user pi to samba but use a other "remote" password
-c- example config for shared path 
-d- i not see a difference if you use "JESSIE" or "STRETCH"

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y samba samba-common-bin smbclient cifs-utils
sudo smbpasswd -a pi ( my-pi-samba-remote-password )

sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf
Code: Select all

# change
   workgroup = YOUR WINDOWS WORKGROUP NAME

# add at end
[share]
    path = /home/pi/Desktop/share
    available = yes
    valid users = pi
    read only = no
    browsable = yes
    public = yes
    writable = yes
the shared path must exist: ( if you work via desktop ( HDMI or VNC ) it is very convenient just to read or drop from/to this shared dir )
mkdir /home/pi/Desktop/share

sudo reboot
____________________________________________
to use client just start filemanager
go network
and find all shared path from your windows computers
