[Samba] samba shares does not exist or permission denied when connecting
Hi,
We have the following shares listed in smb.conf
users cannot access the samba share directly i.e.
\\sambaserver\rixilr
or
\\sambaserver\bridges
error messages
'/ibe/dusty/RIXILE Share/Bridges' does not exist or permission denied
when connecting to [bridges] Error was Permission denied
Aug 21 10:09:12 dish sambaserver[27859]: [2015/08/21 10:09:12.964101,
0] smbd/service.c:1092(make_connection_snum)
however if the user browses to \\sambaserver\dusty - they're able to
access the path to [rixile] and [bridges] within that share -
permissions work.
[dusty]
path = /ibe/dusty
force create mode = 764
guest ok = no
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = @dusty
[rixile]
path = "/ibe/dusty/RIXILE Share/RIXILE"
force create mode = 764
guest ok = no
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = @rixileadmin
[bridges]
path = "/ibe/dusty/RIXILE Share/Bridges"
force create mode = 764
guest ok = no
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = @rixileadmin
Any advise on what's going wrong?
Regards

Hi, Is there any issues using spaces in directories paths?

If I start in my home dir and try and create a directory with a space in the name: mkdir test dir I end up with ./test and ./dir mkdir "test dir" however does create ./test dir I can also do: mkdir anothertest\ dir this works as well But if try to cd into the dir with a space in its name cd test dir then run: pwd I find I am in: /home/rowland/test OK, back to the start: cd Lets try again, cd test\ dir and now pwd tells me I am in: /home/rowland/test dir So you see, whilst windows doesn't mind spaces in dir & file names, Unix does, you need to escape the spaces.
