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. Samba file permissions sit on top of the Linux permissions. They will not override them. It is likely that your Linux permissions deny the users write access to the share. Check to see if the user root and the group root own the folder you are trying to share. Type ls -l one directory higher than the share and you will see the user and group that owns the share. You will also see the permissions on the share. Change the ownership of the share to the user or group that needs access. Also, make sure that the users or group have write permissions to the share. You could try something like chown username:groupname sharename. Do some research on the chown amd chmod commands. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
