I have read about the lack of write support to an NTFS partition so am I to understand that this applies when using Samba as well or is there a way I can get around this problem? Thanks, Randy How are you mounting the samba share on the debian box? AFAIK you need to specify the mount options to allow write access for your user, the default is read only. This is not a limitation of NTFS write as the host win box does the writing to the disk. HTH Wackojacko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Thanks, Randy Have you tried the dmask and fmask options to smbmount to force the mounted filesystem to be writeable? I think this is how linneighborhood does it. Also, on the win box (XP here) in `sharing and security` tab of the properties for the shared folder I tick `allow users to modify files` or something similar.

I just changed the command above by removing the 'rw' and replacing it with fmask=0777,dmask=0777 and it worked. Thanks so much for the help!
