Hi all, I connect to a remote server using samba, and then try to modify a basic text file. Oddly, I can only when using certain programs. The file server is a Mac machine on which I have enabled "Windows sharing", Mac's way of saying turn on Samba. Here are a few cases to explain the problem:
1) I connect from my Mac laptop by going to finder and connecting to smb://myserver/my_shared_folder. I then try to modify a text file using TextEdit (a text editing program on Macs). When I try to save, I get an error saying "Couldn't save document 'file.txt' in folder 'my_remote_folder'." 2) I connect as above, but modify the file using emacs. It works fine; I can save the changes. 3) I connect to the server from a Windows machine by typing \\myserver\my_shared_folder in Explorer. Everything seems to work fine. I can modify the file using a standard program such as Notepad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
