Shared mounted folder on standart user can read-only files

http://askubuntu.com – 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 want that user to have possibility to write same documents, not to read-only. When i try to open office file I get this error message: "Document file 'blah blah.odt' is locked for editing by: U (HowTos)

Stories similar to Shared mounted folder on standart user can read-only files

Hello all,

I created a "Shared Files" folder in /home and changed the security of this folder to allow rwx access by a group of users (2 users in group). I am trying to redirect their documents, pictures, and videos folder's on these users (/home/userprofile/documents) to point to a single location at (/home/Shared Files/documents) in order to consolidate the location of the files.

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.

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.

HELP! openOffice hangs on NAS 3 years 22 weeks ago

OpenOffice can't read the documents and spreadsheets from my NAS. When I double click on such a document openOffice starts loading but it hags before the application opens. However, when I copy the same document from the NAS to my local disk. Then openOffice open the document without problems (proof that the document is not corrupted).

I mount my NAS in fstab as follows.

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on my Virtual Machine as a web server.

I want to set a Group Policy or something like that for old domain user and for new domain user, in a way that the domain user must not be able to see each other folder and files, if they login into same terminal Server
