Default owner for Samba shared dirs

Mr. Alex · 08-08-2010, 10:39 AM

Is there an option for default owner of files and directories in Samba-shared dirs?

You can set user for everything and users for particular dirs. If shared directory have its own list of users, global one wont work... Files in directory will be created with rights of configured user.

It was long ago when I used samba so you have to ask google for syntax. If you are sharing directory between linux think about sshfs.

The question was about files and directories that other people create remotely from Windows-computers on samba-shared dir. Like options "create mask" and "directory mask".

I've used force user and force group:

[yourshare]
comment = Some Samba share
path = /path/to/share
valid users = conrw suprstar dritte hsmith jjones
force user = dritte
force group = dritte
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0755
posix locking = no
