No write permitions :(
 

OK i can now see my share in windows and linux under the usert exio. But i still do not have write permitions.

the share in smb:

[data]
comment = Nick's Service
path = /data/Data
read only = no
writable = yes
public = yes
write list = exio

Any ideas as to why i do not have wright permitions???

Cheers, Nick.

probably /data/Data does not have write permissions for your samba user

ok, do u know how to to allow access????

the easiest test (though insecure) is to use chmod

chmod 777 /data/Data

allows full access to everyone

hmm i really dont want every on the network to have full access!!! :(

when i try and access the share in linux im loged on as exio
also when in windows im logen on as exio!!!!

When you are logged onto the Linux machine with the user Exio, can you write to "/data/Data" (not through Samba, just on the local machine)?

no i dont :(

exio@Server:/data/data$ rm -rf New\ Folder/
rm: cannot remove `New Folder//testdir.tmp': Read-only file system

fstab..
/dev/hdd5 /data vfat defaults,uid=1000 1 0

the file system is fat32, also what do '1 0' mean i have also tryed '0 0 & 1 1' un benone to what they do...

help :(

OK, i have sorted the write permition on the hdd itself, now i have write permitions to the share from windows but not linux.

here is the mount command i use to mount the
smbmount \\\\192.168.0.1\\data /home/exio/fileserver -o username=exio workgroup=sxpb

*****smb.cof*******
[global]

workgroup = SXPB
server string = Samba Server
log file = /var/log/samba.%m
max log size = 50
security = exio
encrypt passwords = yes
ssl CA certDir = /etc/ssl/certs
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd

[data]
comment = Nick's Service
path = /data/nick
read only = no
writable = yes
public = yes
write list = exio
********************8
i dont know if i need all them... e.g do i need 'read only' if i have 'writable' or 'public'...

any ideas y i do not have write permition under linux????

Manny Manny thanks, Nick.
