linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I am using a Ubuntu 10.04 Live USB. Its running on a 8gb flash drive. My system also has a 1tb hard drive which I want to share over the network. I managed to share the default Documents folder which is in the USB drive. But I am unable to share any folder on the 1tb drive. I am not able to change the permission settings on the folder properties. Kindly advice me. I search around but could not find a solution. (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] Unable to change folder permissions

Hi All,

I used to have a thread in this forum bookmarked for creating/sharing a folder on a network for ALL USER access. I vaguely recall that I could create a folder, and then run a CHOWN and CHMOD command to make it accessible by everyone.

[ubuntu] hard drive share 2 years 27 weeks ago

i have a computer running ubuntu 8.04 that i want to use as a file server. i have an external hard drive connected to it and i would like to share it with both my macbook and a windows pc. i can put stuff in the shared folder and share it but if i try to share a different folder the other computers will ask me a password that i dont know. i would rather have the whole drive shared.

Scenario:

ASP.NET MVC 3 application Window Server 2008 IIS 7 Network Mapped Drive( Z:/ with IP (..*.*)) to the share folder named samba of Linux machine. Putty application

Promblem

I have ASP.NET MVC 3 application to upload file to network mapped drive i.e. share folder samba but it shows the error Access is denied while uploading the file to that folder.

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.

Lost files on NTFS partition 3 years 18 weeks ago

Hi, I'm new to fedora but not completly new to linux.

Now i wanted to copy some folders _from_ my NTFS partitioned drive to a folder in a XFS partitioned on another drive. I marked them and clicked with the mouse and dragged the icons to the folder in the other drive.

Nothing -seeable- happens.

I just set up a Linux server (running Centos, but it's RPM-based, similar to Fedora), and I have a second drive installed (currently NTFS partition, but that shouldn't matter, right?) I can access the drive locally, as it is mounted via /etc/fstab.

I want to share a folder called "allshared" on this drive (not the / folder).

Hi Folks I just installed a new HDD Raid in my Ubuntu 12.04 box, and that went fine. But I am trying to share this drive, which is mounted at /mnt/data, to my entire network, and it is giving me errors when trying to write to the directory.

I followed the steps here: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/server...ileserver.html

and my folder is setup exactly as above, but I can't write it to.

I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed and I am trying to share a folder on a mounted internal drive that was created with NTFS. I've installed and run the NTFS configuration tool on the drive.

I've been trying to mount a second hard drive into Ubuntu. I've been following this guide and a few others that are essentially the same. Everything's going fine until I try to add a file or folder to the mounted drive - I'm then getting permissions errors.

The guides I've looked at seem to suggest you only need the correct permissions for the folder you're mounting into (/mnt/sdb) in my case.
