First time samberer :)
I have a home network, samba server running on kubuntu, wifes system running
kubuntu and company laptop running XP.
To start with I want to just share files.
I can read files in shares from my wifes system but no matter what I do I
cannot add files to the mounted share. I get 'cannot create regular file
....
no such file or directory', even though the mounted directory exists and I
can read files from it. I am stuck. Any idea what I am doing wrong ?
Also is there a way to restrict my laptop XP to just the windows share. It
seems that having a user and password for the samba server enables access to
all shares on the server. The two possibilities I can see are either using a
lot of variables in smb.conf or generating multiple instances of samba ?
Many thanks in advance
Dave
