Samba writing issue

sunils1973 · 02-09-2009, 12:26 AM

I have set up a samba server

I can access the files in the home folder of
the user logined. But write access is denied
the permission of /home/username directore
is rwx for owner

what should I do for copying files from the windows
clients to the server user directory?

in smb.conf add this line in the shares section (if doesn't exist, if it does then just alter it).

valid users= <name-of-the-user-who-wants-write-access>
write list= <name-of-the-user-who-wants-write-access>

save the file and restart samba and check

Good Luck

post your smb.conf, then we can stem out the problem from there.
