I am relatively new to linux and have recently installed samba on my machine. I have gotten it to work to the point where I can now see the directories and files from windows without difficulty. I can even read the contents of the files from windows. The problem comes when I attempt to write a file on one of the samba directories from windows. I get a error message that says: “You do not have permission to save in this directory. See the administrator to obtain permission.” I have verified that: The samba directory has permissions of: “drwxrwxrwx” The file in question has permissions of: “-rwxrwxrwx” My smb.conf file contains the following line for this directory: “read only = No” I have created a number of shared samba directories and they all work the same – reading is OK but can’t write. My samba version is 3.0.14a-2 I am running Fedora Core with kernel 2.6.14 Any suggestions? Thanks, Lee
> My smb.conf file contains the following line for this directory: > ?read only = No?You may need to add "public = yes" if you haven't configured Samba users properly. Note that this (combined with your rwxrwxrwx permissions) will allow *anyone* to read, write and delete files in your share. Cheers, Adam.
