Setting write permissions on Windows share from linux
by ihowarth from LinuxQuestions.org on (#56G36)
I want to occasionally access files on a Windows 10 machine from a linux box, with full rw permissions. I've followed this "how-to": https://www.howtogeek.com/176471/ and I'm mounting the Windows disk manually, with this basic incantation:
mount //Win10box/Win10disk -o username=windowsID /linuxmount
which works just dandy -- except that the windows disk is read-only. "Extensive research" (an hour googling, including some promising-looking posts here that didn't help, at least not at my pay grade) has suggested all kinds of options, but none of them seem to make the slightest difference; e.g.,
mount //Win10box/Win10disk -o noperm,dir_mode=0777,file_mode=0777 username=windowsID /linuxmount
mounts the disk without error, and the protections show up as drwxrwxrwx -- but i still can't write to the disk. I've double-checked that full rw permissions are set on the Win10 side...and am now stuck... Probably something "obvious", but anyone see what i'm missing here?
Thanks
