I am a Linux newbie trying to get a Samba server up and running. I have installed Debian Woody 3.0 with Samba 2.2.3a-12.
I have been able to access the shared folder I have created on the Linux system with my Windows machines. I can copy files off the Linux server onto the Windows units. However, I cannot do the reverse. I cannot copy files to the Linux server. I have tried looking at various smb.conf files on the Internet and making changes to no avail. I have used chmod to change the settings for the shared folder to 777. Here is the contents of my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = LinuxServer server string = %h server (Samba %v) printing = cups invalid users = root log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 syslog = 0 security = user encrypt passwords = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY os level = 99 preferred master = yes dns proxy = no passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . obey pam restrictions = yes [files] comment = Shared Files path = /home/ftp writeable = yes guest ok = yes [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes read only = no writeable = yes path = /home create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 [share] comment = share dir path = /share guest ok = yes writeable = yes browseable = yes read only = no public = yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 [printers] comment = All Printers browseable = yes path = /tmp printable = yes public = yes writable = yes create mode = 0777 Any help or suggestions would be appreciated! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
