Hitting a brick wall on this. I'm trying to copy files from my linux partition over the network to a FAT32 mounted drive but get this ...

Code:

root@abit:/home/ftp# cp tu1.avi /home/ftpdown/Albatron/
cp: cannot create regular file `/home/ftpdown/Albatron/tu1.avi': Permission denied
root@abit:/home/ftp#

the permissions to the FAT32 target directory is ...

Code:

root@abit:~# ls -l -d /home/ftpdown/Albatron
drwxr-xr-x  12 root root 32768 Dec 31  1969 /home/ftpdown/Albatron
root@abit:~#

You guys have any suggestions? Thx.

Might the fat32 drive be mounted read-only?

Thank you for your reply. No, I don't believe it's read only. Note the
last line ...

Code:

arcturus@abit:~$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: filesystem table.
#
# filesystem  mountpoint  type  options  dump  pass
/dev/hda5  /  reiserfs  defaults  0  1

Here's my fstab for the target pc containing the sda5 fat32 partition.

Code:

arcturus@Albatron:~$ cat /etc/fstab
