Linux Samba server: Share a folder and everyone can read and write to it.
by riahc3 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4S8X3)
I want to make a folder with 777 permisions and share it thru Samba so everyone can read and write to it.
I thought this would do it:
I have this in config
[path]
path = /some/path
read only = no
force user = root
guest ok = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
directory mode = 0777
force create mode = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
/some/path has 777 on it
But even though I can reach it on a Windows client, I cannot create anything new on it.
