Hi all,

I have had numerous problems with SMB Shares in Fedora. These shares are set up using the Wizard and work OK.

The problem I am now having is that users need to upload files from the shares to the web via a browser. This is mainly used for banking.

Currently there is no way that the user can gain access to the shares and upload a file like they used to in Windows. I just see niggling problem after niggling problem one after the other.

Is there any way this problem and be fixed or a work around developed. Currently the users need to copy numerous files from the share to their workstation just so they can upload them.

Thanks

You have it set at the default, which gives read/write access to you, and only read access to everyone else. If you use
Then you'll grant full read and write access to that user. They'll need write access to upload these files from a browser--judging by the way you described the problem. Doing this will greatly reduce the security of those files, but improve the functionality. Read up a bit on permissions to find a combination that'll work for you.

Hi Tyggna,

You have misunderstood me.

I have set up the shares using the wizard "System > Remote". These work fine.

The problem is that the user can't even FIND the share to do anything with it. In Windows it was as easy as the user double clicking a drive letter (eg. F and having everything there. They can no longer do this. I can not find how to access the shares with the exception of double clicking an icon.

Hope this made sense.

Can anyone help with this.
