Does not have access to Samba.

[Lindelani]

Hi

I have configured Samba in My Ubuntu machine but when i connect to it from windows machine i dont have access to it.When i open it it says i dont have permision,

Can anyone help please.I have tried everything but no luck

[coopstah13]

can you post configuration file?

I don't know what type of security settings you are using, if you have user level security you will need to add samba user using smbpasswd command

i did a little googling

is the share located on NTFS partition? that seems to be causing some problems

[Lindelani]

The share is on my ubuntu machine.

[coopstah13]

but are you sharing an ntfs partition on the ubuntu machine?

[Lindelani]

I have dual boot so i dont know exactly where my sharing fili is located,But i think is in NTFS partition.Can you help please

[coopstah13]

can you make a share on an ext2/3/4 partition and see if you can connect to that? that way we can rule out the ntfs share being the problem

make sure you comment out the other share and restart samba

[Lindelani]

How do i do this
