samba config: how to allow sub directory and file create

pellicle · 03-16-2009, 08:21 AM

Hi

I seem to have set up my samba connection to work, and have a config entry in my /etc/samba/smb.conf along the lines of:

Quote:

[stuff]
comment = stuff
path = /usr/stuff
writeable = yes
valid users = cje

which I access from a win2K machine. All works well except file create and sub directory create. What am I missing to allow for this?

Thanks

First of all /usr/stuff should be owned or at least writeable for user cje. You can also add following options to your [global] smb.conf settings

Code:

create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755

so all files / dirs copied or created from windows will have that permissions by default
