[SOLVED] Unable to write to the samba share

procfs · 09-11-2014, 06:40 AM

Hi can some one tell me why I am unable to write to the samba share. I can access and read all but not write

I am using Fedora 20

Linux permission

drwxr-xr-x. 14 user1 user1 4096 Sep 9 15:28 user1

My smb.conf is

[share]
comment = restricted access
path = /user1
public = no
only guest = yes
writable = yes
valid user = user1
printable = no

Thanks and Regards

Remove the Guest Only directive? I believe what is happening is that With Only Guest even though you are probably connecting with user1 it is still taking on guest access. Also guest access uses Share Level permissions and not local permissions.

Also did you create a smbpasswd for user1.

Are you unable to write to it locally or from another computer?

If it's from another computer, check the directory permissions. They may not align with the Samba configuration. If you want everyone (that is, "owner," "group," "everyone") to be able to write to it, they should look like this:

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 [owner] [group] 17 Aug 13 12:48 /path/to/some/directory

Hi Guys thank you for the replies

, removing "only guest" did the trick

Best Regards
