LinuxQuestions.org - samba share directory

in /etc/samba.smb.conf, you want a section like this:

Code:

[myshare]

  comment = Shared folder

  path = /usr/somewhere/shared

  valid users = you afriend

  public = no

  writable = yes

  printable = no

  create mask = 0765

if you don't want to mess about with smbusers, then set it to share-level security earlier in the file. If you want user-level security, you will have to add the users with smbpasswd. You're best off reading the manpage for that as how you use it varies depending on your setup.
there's a lot of help for you in the /etc/samba/smb.conf have a read of it and set anything you will need by hand.
