Folder access per user

http://serverfault.com – I have a Windows SBS 2003 R2 server with a shared folder (S drive) on it for everyone. Our client PCs use XP Pro. When on the shared folder, you see the size of the folder as 230 GB. I have one user that only sees 1 GB when on shared folder, however. So far: I have checked the file quotas, and seen that the no quota limit box is checked. I had the user use a different PC and still got the same result. I compared the user's profile with a user that did not have problem and could not see anything different. Did I miss in some option or do I have to rebuild user? I have tried Google with (HowTos)

I have a file server. It has user Jes with full administrative privileges. Server has shared readonly folder "publish". Everyone can read from it.

I've shared a folder, then logged in to another user and mounted in to ~/Documents. User is Standard, has the group samba.

I have tried a lot of permissions with chown, chmod and so on. The user with which i have shared folder (the one, that has mounted that folder onto his ~/Documents) can see all folders, can create files in there and can open files as read only - and that is the problem.

I have two computer, the first one is the server (so WinXP) with a shared folder granted for user "test" and this is out of domain, it is just in WORKGROUP. The second computer is a client computer (WS2012) in domain and i would like to access directly to the shared folder of the server without prompting username/password.

I tried to add a "test" user (with the same password) in localuser of the

I'm not really into systems administration, but I was called to set up this Windows 2003 Server. I put it in a VirtualBox virtual machine on the (real) Ubuntu Server.

I have a windows machine (in a domain) and I have created 2 Virtual Machines with Suse 11.2 installed on them.

Now, I want to share a folder in windows to both Suse images. I am succesfully able to do that.

I used: mount -t cifs -o user..... command to mount it at /mnt/win on my linux and succesfully able to work with it.

I'm trying to mount my vbox shared folder every time my ubuntu starts.

So, I added an entry on /etc/init with this:

description "mount vboxsf Desktop"

start on startup

task exec mount -t vboxsf Desktop /var/www/shared

Seems to work, except by the fact that all the files are owned by "root", and I don't have permission to write on the folder (neither chmod nor chown seems to be working).

Hello!

I've made a shared folder, and i need it to be write only for guests.

By that i mean guest can move files to the shared folder, but not open/remove/config files in the shared folder.

At first i tried: browsable = no guest ok = yes writable = yes

didnt work.

Thanks.

Recently installed Debian and completely new to Linux. Samba package installed, and select the shared folder. On my Windows machine, I see the Linux box, but not a folder or drive over it. Shared folder on Linux with SMB (also tried NFS). The machine has Windows TCP / IP, IPX / SPX and NetBIOS protocols. When the Add Network window I can see the image, but not the folder / drive.

I am a new user of Ubuntu 11.10 and over the past couple of weeks have been researching and trying to set up and share a folder with other users on the same computer. I have tried setting up a shared folder, setting user groups but each user I set up is able to access all of my folders and files not just a single folder and file content.
