Cannot create, modify, or write to Samba shares
I am able to read and transfer files from the shares, but if I try to write or create anything, it says access denied. I am using WinXP. Here is what my smb.conf file looks like:
server string = Mandrake Box hosts allow = 192.168. 127. log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 [yolanda] comment = Yolanda path = /yolanda browseable = yes writable = yes public = yes read only = no [micah] create mode = 777 writeable = yes allow hosts = 192.168. public = yes write list = micah directory mode = 777 comment = Micah path = /micah |
Check the permissions on the directories first - the directories from linux, not from windows. Make sure you actually have create rights...
ls -l will show you rights chown or chmod will allow you to change them |
Re
total 80
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root This is what I see when I type ls -l Thanks |
Are you trying to write to the shares as a normal user or as root??

Re
I am able to write to the shares from within Linux, but when I try to write to them from my XP system over the network, thats where the problem is.
