hears is my config file i can see the shares but i cannot write to them. i can open files on it. am i missing something??
i know it's not secure or anything, i'must looking to share files as a storage place while i format. thanks for the help


[global]
netbios name = RixLinux
server string = "Rix Linux Samba Server"
workgroup = RixLinux
log file = /etc/samba/samba.log
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
encrypt passwords = yes
wins support = yes
[music]
path = /share/music
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
[share]
path = /share
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes

this is what i have for a public share, also not secure but it works for me:

[public]
comment = Public Stuff
path = /home/samba
public = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
printable = no

so from just typing that, i see you dont have a "read only = no" try adding it just to see if it changes anything.

nwo i get access denied, source file may be in use. when i know that it's not.

is it suppose to be writable or writeable??

i would make:
encrypt passwords = no

AND add in Global:

guest account = ftp

OR some other user would work.

It may not be a problem with your smb.conf file. Look at the permissions for /share and /share/music. Also check out ownership. I think both directories should be owned by root.

It's writeable, and like chris said I believe its the permissions on that directory that is causing the problem.
