config file. I can't exit Pico to look at permissions because I'd lose too much typing. However, I can't save the file as something new (using F3: write to disk) OR overwrite something old. If I can save it somehow, how? If I can't, why did this happen? Reading suggests lack of write permissions on the file, but since I can't write to a new file either, I'm confused. Thanks!

Try saving it in your home folder then you can copy it and overwrite the old file.

Although I have the desktop version, I've followed the server sharing advice here with no luck. The problem is the same on my wife's computer and the laptop. Shouldn't this just work out of the box? I can't even get access to my error writing smb.conf shared folders through the "Browse Network" link from my own machine. Should I give up and use NFS? Here's my smbtree and smbstatus output.

In my smb.conf I did the following: [myshare] path = /path/to/share writeable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = yes public = yes I have perfect read access from Windows. But in order to have write access, I need to do chmod -R 777 /path/to/share in order to be able to write to it from Windows. What I want is write access from Windows after I provide the Linux credentials of the Linux owner of /path/to/share. I already tried: [myshare] path = /path/to/share writeable = yes browseable = yes Then Windows asks for credentials, but no matter what I enter, it's always denied. What is the correct way to gain write access to Samba shares from a Windows domain computer without granting 777? permissions windows samba chmod shared-folders share|improve this question asked May 29 '15 at 12:42 Foo Bar 60731022 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 9 down vote accepted I recommend to create a dedicated user for that share and specify it in force user.
