It's probably just a permissions thing. The user you are logged in to Linux from your windows machine is some kind of network id. Probably whatever you signed on to the network as.
Do you use Network authentication (security=SERVER in the smb.conf) or authentication in the Linux server? If the latter, make sure that smbpasswd knows about your userid. When defining your share ( [Myshare] ) in smb.conf, you may need an entry write list = user1 user2 myuser group3 ... Lastly, make sure that the userid you are logged on as has write permissions to the directory pointed to by the share (path=/home/thisdirectory), either by userid, or more likely by group. > A friend will help you move.
