Hi I have managed to successfully set samba up so that I can access my windows shares from linux and my linux shares from windows, but, when I access my linux shares from windows I cannot write to them. Here is an excerpt from my smb.conf file: [shared] comment = Shared directory on Linux box path = /shared guest ok = yes writeable = yes Why doesn't this work? What should I be doing instead?

The shared folder in Linux needs to be writable by the same user you are loggin in as under Samba. In a pinch, as the super user, try: chmod uog+rwx /shared or: chmod 777 /shared To grant all permissions to all users for that folder. You may want to pursue resources on Unix file system permissions and security for ideas on how to better do this in your enviroment (without leaving the directory wide open) On Fri, Jul 30, 2004 at 02:31:03PM +0100, Robin Wilson wrote:> Hi > > I have managed to successfully set samba up so that I can access my windows > shares from linux and my linux shares from windows, but, when I access my > linux shares from windows I cannot write to them. > > Here is an excerpt from my smb.conf file: > > [shared] > comment = Shared directory on Linux box > path = /shared > guest ok = yes > writeable = yes > > Why doesn't this work? > > What should I be doing instead? > > Thanks in advance > > Robin > > > --- > Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.732 / Virus Database: 486 - Release Date: 30/07/04 > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Hi Robin, Make sure that the directory /shared is writeable by the user you are connecting as: the easiest way to do this is `chmod 777 /shared` (not sure if there is a better permission to put on it, but it works) Hope that helps, H Robin Wilson wrote:>Hi > >I have managed to successfully set samba up so that I can access my windows >shares from linux and my linux shares from windows, but, when I access my >linux shares from windows I cannot write to them. > >Here is an excerpt from my smb.conf file: > >[shared] >comment = Shared directory on Linux box >path = /shared >guest ok = yes >writeable = yes > >Why doesn't this work? > >What should I be doing instead? > >Thanks in advance > >Robin > > >--- >Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. >Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). >Version: 6.0.732 / Virus Database: 486 - Release Date: 30/07/04 > > >
