How can I do this?
I have a samba server running on RedHat Linux. The server is actually a
dual boot machine, and has Windows drives which I have mounted under
Linux, so that /mnt/dosC is the C: drive when booted under DOS. Also,
this machine has a Zip drive connected to it and known as /mnt/zip.
>From a Windows 98 machine connected to this machine, connecting through
Samba, I can see these shares. I can read any file in them. I cannot,
however, write to these shares, even though they are specified as
writable.
Is this even possible and if so how?
I have tried using fstype=FAT, or fstype=samba or fstype=NTFS to no
avail.
Here are the share portions of my smb.conf (note: MesaVerde is the host
name).
[mvD]
path = /mnt/dosD
comment = Drive D on MesaVerde's Dos partition
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
[zip]
path = /mnt/zip
comment = MesaVerde's zip drive
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
What must I do to be able to write to these drives over samba?
