I am trying to setup a Samba server on my Debian Sarge...

I deleted the default smb.conf file and am trying to get the settings right so that I can write files from my WinXp Home laptop, to the box running the samba server.

This is my smb.conf file:

[global]
restrict anonymous = no
domain master = no
preferred master = no
netbios name = POTUS
workgroup = CLINTON
max protocol = NT
ldap ssl = No
server signing = Auto
security = share

[Dingo]
case sensitive = no
guest ok = yes
msdfs proxy = no
path = /home/jordo23
writable = yes

Now....I can view the files under jordo23 from my xp box. I can also copy these files to my xp box from the server. I cannot, however, write to the server from the xp box.

I have tried every possible setting, and sometimes I lose the connection to the server when a setting is changed. Right now I have it connected for viewing, but not writing. What do I have to do to be able to write to the samba debian box from the xp home box?

Someone PLEASE HELP!

What are the file permission on /home/jordo ? Since you are accessing this share as a guest, then everyone will need to have write permission to /home/jordo and all files and directories under it.
By default, everyone will only have read permission to /home/jordo unless you change it.
