i have a small network based on suse 9.3 with samba on linux box and 3 xp boxes.. i am able to see all the boxex fm server as well as client but when i try to transfer or copy file frm xp to any folder on /home it gives an error msg"Cannot create or replace XXXX: access denied."

i have given 777 permission to complete home folder but no avail.

Doesn't matter really the permissions of the folder or whatnot, what does your smb.conf file give for access rights for the share?

posting d dump of my smb.conf file for ref..
