HI! Everyone
I want to share files between linux machines. We have a linux server using rh8.0 and clients using rh9.0.
We are using samba. A share has been made with
reade/write access to everyone. We have been able to
mount the directory from server on to the clients and
browse the directories using ¨smb:///¨.
When we try to copy any file from clients to server,
we get an error saying ¨Permission denied¨.
Most probably this is due to the permission setting of the file you want to copy. Check that the owner:group of the file is the same as the one you have for the user ``guest`r ``nobody``. ( Check the /etc/samba/smbusers file to find the guest username. ). Secondly, you can put a `tail -f /var/log/samba/log.smbd` and check it for messages while copying the file.
Personally, I prefer SWAT to set up my samba.conf file. There are just too many tweaking to remember.
If you are still not able to get samba working, you can allow ftp for sharing files. However in the *nix world, the most common way to share files is through NFS.
