samba share denies permission to random files while copying

[joh4231]

Hi

I have home server on CentOS 5.2 with Samba 3.0.28-1.el5_2.1 for sharing files on my network (WinXP and Ubuntu).

I have r/w permission to home share, I can create directory and copy files to the share, the problem is when I copy a whole directory from my Ubuntu box I get the following error (from Nautilus):

The folder "xxxxxx" cannot be copied because you do not have permissions to create it in the destination.

Even tough I have permission and I can create it, just doesn't happen when copying.

The same thing happens when I copy to /public share where "only guest = yes", and all files are owned by nobody. I don't think the problem is with the CentOS because if I do the same thing from a WinXP everything works fine, that is why I put this post in the Ubuntu section.

this is how I have my shares defined:

	security = user
	passdb backend = tdbsam

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	browseable = yes
	writable = yes
	valid users = %S

[public]
	comment = Public Stuff
	path = /home/public
	public = yes
	writable = yes
	only guest = yes

my /etc/fstab on Ubuntu:

//192.168.0.1/public	/media/atompublic	smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/credentials3,uid=1000,rw 0 0
//192.168.0.1/ziga	/media/atomziga		smbfs credentials=/etc/samba/credentials3,uid=ziga,gid=ziga,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,rw 0 0

thx for the help

Just for the heck of it do

sudo chmod 777 -R

on the folder you want all permissions and on the destination folder. I've had that solve problems in the past

thx for reply,

chmod does not help the only way I manage to copy directory structure is from cmd line with sudo

sudo cp -R /home/user/dir /media/share

I don't understan how can it be I can use mkdir, even copy files but when copying direcory structure I get permission denied.

this is quite anoying, any ideas?
