Changing Filename on Samba Share from XP

InEeDhElPlInUx · 04-01-2004, 09:10 AM

I can't change the filename of a file on a Samba share from a Windows XP machine. Can anyone tell me why?

possibly these files are created by other user. so xp client user doesnt have write permision. to see the permisions type:
ls -l

if u wanna change the permisions, use "chmod" command. or if u want to change owner of files, use "chown" command. for more info read the man pages. "man chmod" or "man chown"

other reason can be that u didnt configure samba to give user of xp client write access.

I have already set permissions. I set ownership to root and group to smb which I have the users in. I have wrx set for owner and group permissions also. And windows users do have write access because we can all dump files into the share and also delete files from the share.

here s my share that users can write if the permissions of files allow them to do.

[egemen]
comment = egemen
path = /egemen
valid users = coskun fatos mustafa mkorkmaz
read only = No
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
force directory security mode = 0777

do the files contains special charecters? like çþðÝý ?

InEeDhElPlInUx · 04-01-2004, 11:11 AM

No special characters. What is the 0777 mask for. Is that like chmod 777??

sorry for bad english.

maxut · 04-01-2004, 11:14 AM

yeah.. its same. when a samba user creates a file, samba changes it to 777

i dont know. i configured samba with swat. it created the smb.conf file. but its same with 777 (-rwxrwxrwx)

maxut · 04-01-2004, 11:21 AM

can smb users write the files which was created by other smb user?

maxut · 04-01-2004, 11:21 AM

by the way my icq uin 89572249

InEeDhElPlInUx · 04-01-2004, 11:26 AM

Sorry no ICQ

I have changed permissions so that everything that goes to the directory is 770 (chmod -R 770). Still no luck...I have restart smb also.

This led me at least to take a deeper look at the man pages for smb.conf but I haven't quite seen the light. Maybe you will.
