Hello Gerhard,
Thanks for your answer ! So I've reconfigured my Samba share, and it works
well now. Here is the Samba conf I've used :
[global]
(...)
security = user
map to guest = bad user
guest account = nobody
(...)
[install]
comment = Unattended
path = /usr/local/unattended/install
read only = yes
locking = no
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
write list = unattenduser
