http://askubuntu.com – our employees need to share some files. I'd like ask if Samba can be configured with the way we need for the shared folder. Let's say we have three departments. HR Department Only people who know ID and password can access to Samba shared folder "HR". There are three HR employees and they should be able to access HR folder at the same time using the same credentials. Accounting An accounting manager has own access credential which is enabled to create, edit and delete all the files in the shared folder "Accounting" even other files that are created by other accountants. Other accountants ca (HowTos)

Can't access samba share 44 weeks 1 day ago

Hi guys

I want to kickout Linux box from my department so I have only Solaris for administration.

I am trying to set up Samba on Solaris 10u9 and I can not access folder which is being shared on LAN.

I have tried two ways for sharing a folder on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit so that I could access it on a Windows XP PC on the same switch:

1st: right-clicking the folder > properties > share > Share this folder and checking both "Allow others to create and delete files in this folder" and "Guest access (for people without a user account)"

2nd: adding the folder to Samba

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

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.

I just tried sharing the old My Videos file folder on my 500GB Windows drive and it shows that it's shared but when I try to access it over the network it's saying I don't have permission. I checked the box to allow guests access. Still no sharing. How do I accomplish this?

In my Home Folder it shows as 500GB device with the eject symbol next to it.

I am trying to setup a home server from Samba 3.2, however, on the client end (running Windows Vista) the mapped network drive is viewable and I can also open any files within the main shared folder. The issue is that I cannot create any files from Vista, nor copy anything into there.

I have setup a samba share like this:

[shared] path = /home/shared/ comment = shared public = yes writable = yes printable = no

I can access it from windows, but when I upload files to it, the files I uploaded have the following permission:

-rwxr--r-- 1 nobody nobody 899381 Mar 7 11:59 letter17.rtf

What I would like to see is that, when a user accesses this share, th

I've mounted a shared windows directory (C:\foo\bar) on an ubuntu server (/mnt/shared/bar) like so:

//windows-server/bar /mnt/shared/bar smbfs credentials=/etc/samba-credentials 0 0

It works great, but when I cd into /mnt/shared/bar, Ubuntu shows that all the files are owned by root.

I'd like to restrict access to /mnt/shared/bar on the linux side.

Here's the set-up:

I have a server running Samba with a share called "MyShare". MyShare contains a folder that, on the Server's file system is owned by user "User1" and Group "Employees". The folder and it's files are 770 and 660 respectively.
