Thanks for the link. My smbpasswd is in /usr/bin/smbpasswd Just to make sure I : touch /etc/samba/smbpasswd then I : smbpasswd -x username smbpasswd -a username still same issue. Remove /etc/samba/smbpasswd I've created several directories off of /work/ on the samba server using the Samba server's command line. Using Dolphin on my desktop I can add directories to /work/ - they have correct permissions and ownership. However I get a permissions dialog when adding files to /work/ If I try to add a file to one of those directories I created using Dolphin on my desktop there is no error and no file shows up. Thank you for your help!!
