Thanks!! I added the Samba user as one of the first steps. My smb.config shows "passdb backend = tdbsam". I cannot find the tdbsam file. What am I missing?<div><div class="h5"><br>

If I remember right, samba doesn't follow regular *nix permissions.<br>
Try running the command:<br>
smbadduser<br>
<br>
to get your user name and password in. Use those credentials when you<br>
login to transfer files and see if it works.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am running Mint 17 KDE. I've uploaded Virtualbox and created a<br>
vm using CentOS 6.6. On the CentOS 6.6 VM I installed Samba.<br>
<br>
I created a user on the VM and created the same user as a Samba<br>
user.<br>
I created a directory off root : /work<br>
smb and nmb are both running.<br>
in the /etc/samba/smb.conf I:<br>
1) set the workgroup - I do not think this is necessary since I am<br>
connection from Linux.<br>
2) commented out all the cups references<br>
3) added the following lines:<br>
<br>
- path = /work<br>
- writable = yes<br>
- browseable = yes<br>
- read only = no<br>
<br>
SELinux is disables<br>
IPTables is disabled<br>
<br>
I have the exact same config on a laptop running CentOS 6.6 and it<br>
works fine. Only difference is the laptop mounts and connects to<br>
Samba from the fstab.<br>
<br>
To connect to the Samba share on the VM I issue the following<br>
command from my desktop's command line:<br>
<br></div></div>
sudo mount -t cifs -o user='username' //<a href="http://192.168.20.51/work/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">192.168.20.51/work/</a> [1]<div><div class="h5"><br>
/mnt/centos6 (command line on my desktop)<br>
<br>
It mounts and I can view the /work directory in Dolphin on the the<br>
parent (mint 17 KDE desktop).<br>
<br>
I cannot upload files though.<br>
<br>
To test I : chmod -R 777 /work which did not help.<br>
<br>
I checked the Samba logs and they contain almost nothing - no<br>
errors are being logged.<br>
<br>
I've scoured the internet and am finding no solution.<br>
<br>
Tied:<br>
<br>
create mask = 0755<br>
create mode = 0660<br>
directory mode = 0770<br>
force create mode = 0660<br>
force directory mode = 0770<br>
force user = keith<br>
force group = keith<br>
<br>
which did not make a difference.<br>
<br>
Any ideas are much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>
Keith<br>
