You might also want to verify your configuration (we are using a share
called accounts below):
Open /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add/modify share called [accounts]:
[accounts]
comment = Accounts data directory
path = /data/accounts
valid users = vivek raj joe
public = no
writable = yes
If you edit anything, BE SURE TO SAVE ORIGINAL TO BACKUP FIRST, and of
course reload the service with 'sudo service smb restart' after.
And of course if any of these steps fails, please read and apply this link:
