I am trying to mount a Redhat local directory /local3/user1 which is owned by the user user1, in Windows 8.1 for read/write operation.
After successfully mounting the share in Windows 8.1, I can read the share in Windows but when I try to create a file in the shared folder I get an error window with the following error:
-----Error Start----
Destination Folder Access Denied
You need permission to perform this action
---- Error end ---------
I followed the steps from this link
https://access.redhat.com/documentat...t_Servers.html
Also I have a similar share from a Debian Linux workstation and that works fine.
----- Here's the content of /etc/samba/smb.conf ------
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = %h server
#
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
#
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
#
[user1]
comment = User1 share
path = /local3/user1
valid users = user1
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0765
## I have omitted some of the printer/etc share info for brevity
----- End of content of smb.conf ------
Then I created the smb user with the following command
$sudo smbpasswd -a user1
And in Windows when I Map the drive I give the address:
\\[IP address\user1
and use samba credentials.
It is successfully mounted and I can read BUT I CANNOT WRITE to it.
Any help will greatly appreciated.
Thank You
