[Samba] Access from Windows to Samba/LINUX

[Albert HERVO]

 - It's "nearly" this !
	I want to have a share called directory_1 (or [myshare] here). In
this share, subdirectories ([test1], [test1] ...) which are invisible
to the users, but writeable for these users.

	But the "hidden"-flag you say, is for Files, not for folders.

	I have tried this (in my example) :  The sub-folder "test2" is always
visible under Windows

	[myshare]
         path = /myshare
         guest only = Yes
         guest ok = Yes
         public = Yes
         writable = Yes
         create mask = 0775
         browseable = Yes

	[test2]
         path = /myshare/test2
         guest only = Yes
         guest ok = Yes
         public = Yes
         writable = Yes
         create mask = 0775
         browseable = No
 	   map hidden = Yes

 - If It's not possible like this, I would have something like this :

	[myshare]			: NOT Browseable  (unvisible) BUT Writable

	At the moment it doesn't work better.

 - About "browseable" or "browsable" : It seems to be both correct ?

Hi,
just to clarify this a bit, you want to have a share called
directory_1.
In this share you want to have subdirectorys which are invisible to
the
users, but writeable, like the so called "hidden-folders" in windows.
is this correct?

Then you need to set up the mapping for the "hidden"-flag of windows.
Have a look at the manpage for smbd.conf and search for "map hidden".
This flag allows the mapping of one of the unix-executable-bit's to
the
windows hidden-flag.
