Can't write to Samba share
Hi all,
Well, after much goofing around, I finally got smb up and running and am able to see the shares from my XP box! I have a problem though, I can write to the share from the XP box. Here is the info for the share from smb.conf [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /home/share/ browseable = yes write list = erik force user = erik public = yes writable = yes guest ok = yes As you can see, I've added a bunch of lines to this share hopping to get it to work. What am I missing? Also, it may be a stupid question (newbie), but how do I access my WindowsXP shares from my linux box? Thanks for your help! Erik |
What are the actual permissions of the share on the unix side of things? Does your user or group ownership have access to write, is your user part of that group?
And to access your XP shares, use samba to mount the shares to your Linux box. man smbmount |
Oops! /home/share was set owner/group=root - I changed it to the user and everything works now. Based on the config info I gave above. Is all of that info necessary to read write a share? Can I get rid of some of it?
Thanks Erik |
Here is one of mine for reference
[music] comment = for mp3 music files guest ok = yes path = /music read only = no public = yes |
