I have Ubuntu Server installed with Samba. I'm trying to create a share so Windows XP machines can access and put files in it, so i can continue to install Joomla. I can see and write inside the Home Directory and it has a bunch of .bash files.
I cannot write or access the 'Share' folder I made, i can only see it from the XP box. Windows tells me "No network provider accepted the given network path" error , "you might not have permissions to use this network resource" That is the folder i want to use for file sharing. My username for the box is tc.
I edited the smb.conf like so:
comment = Home Directories
browseable = yes
read only = no
comment = For any user to see
writable = yes
valid users = tc
write list = tc
path = /home/username/mnt/share
This is my Global config:
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
workgroup = MSHOME
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
# Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
# WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
; wins support = no
# WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
# Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
; wins server = w.x.y.z
# This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
dns proxy = no
# What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
# to IP addresses
; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
