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