Hi,
just to clarify this a bit, you want to have a share called directory_1.
In this share you want to have subdirectorys which are invisible to the users, but writeable, like the so called "hidden-folders" in windows.
is this correct?


Then you need to set up the mapping for the "hidden"-flag of windows.
Have a look at the manpage for smbd.conf and search for "map hidden".
This flag allows the mapping of one of the unix-executable-bit's to the
windows hidden-flag.

        - First the parameters is "browseable" or "browsable" ?

        - I have created with the Windows Explorer a directory "test" under
the directory "myshare"
                and modified the /etc/samba/smb.conf as :
[myshare]
        path = /myshare
        guest only = Yes
        guest ok = Yes
        public = Yes
        writable = Yes
        create mask = 0775
        browseable = Yes

[test]
        path = /myshare/test
        guest only = Yes
        guest ok = Yes
        public = Yes
        writable = Yes
        create mask = 0775
        browsable = No

[test2]
        path = /myshare/test2
        guest only = Yes
        guest ok = Yes
        public = Yes
        writable = Yes
        create mask = 0775
        browseable = No

        - Then I Stop and Restart the SMB service

Now the "test" AND "test2" directy are visible by the Windows Explorer
!

If you want a "share" to be hidden from browsing, one option is to

add $ to

the end of the share name. Example, rather than :


And the preferred method in Samba is to set in the share definition:

[myshare]

Change it to

[myshare$]

And the windows browser will ignore it unless you type in the share

name in

the address bar.

That works for both Windows and Linux hosting servers.

Subject: [Samba] Access from Windows to Samba/LINUX


Hello,

        I am configuring PCs on Windows W2K to access to a LINUX Server
where Samba is mounted

        Is-it possible to do this ?

                Directory_1                             : Browseable (then
visible with the Network Favorits)
                        -Sub_Directory_1a               : NOT Browseable
(unvisible) BUT Writable
                        -Sub_Directory_2a               :       "
"          "


If not, then just this ?

                Directory_1                             : NOT Browseable
(unvisible) BUT Writable

Thanks

Albert
