I did the following, hide dot files = yes veto files = /.?*/ and it works. This hides the dot files and allows me to write to the Samba server. -- Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Samba - veto files directive
Hi, I have used the "veto files" flags for my users home directory shares. The syntax is as follows, veto files = /.*/ This is to hide all the dot files in the samba client. I stoped and restarted samba and sure enough the dot files do not get listed. One problem that has showed up is, when I try to save a file from the samba client (windows system) to the samba server, I get the "Error Copying File" message box, "Cannot copy xyz:A file with the name you specified already exists. Specify a different filename" This happens to any file that I am trying to move to the samba server. I have already tried "hide dot files" directive and that does not hide the files. Is there any other directive that should be used along with "veto files" directive? Thanks in advance. -- Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
