Also make sure that your network is set in such a way that you can ping and see your VM. ( i have wanted to put my head into the wall because i let virtualbox put a VM on nat that i was expecting to be bridged.

If I remember right, samba doesn't follow regular *nix permissions. 
Try running the command:
smbadduser

to get your user name and password in.  Use those credentials when you login to transfer files and see if it works.

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!!
Keith
