You have 'public = yes' which is the synonym for 'guest ok = yes' ,
therefore anyone should be able to write. Let's make sure we have
proper guest capabilities by adding 'username map' parameter and its
associated file. For example:
In global:
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers

Contents of  /etc/samba/smbusers:
root = administrator
nobody = guest

And as the guest account is nobody make sure that the nobody account is valid.

Restart Samba and if you still have trouble it looks to be a
permissions issue on the nix side.
