Quick Samba permissions question

jamespetts · 10-06-2002, 07:40 AM

How do I enable a non-root user to access (read/write) Samba shares in /mnt ? I want to be able to use a "My Documents" folder on a remote Windows machine to provide the main storage for documents created on both that machine and the Linux machine.

So long as you have permissions at the far end, chmod the /mnt/~~ directory with world privileges.
chmod /mnt/~~~ 666

Thank you for your help. I tried chmod /mnt/~~~ 666 and got:

chmod: invalid mode string: 'mnt/~~~'

Did I do something wrong?
