Smba and Windows 7 "you need permission..." - Raspberry Pi Forums


i setup shared folder on pi using samba , can see share in windows 7. if try open file or save file windows, "you need permission perform action"

when setup mapping on windows, first tried specify the login rp2/pi (this proper pi name , user) , used regular pi password, tells me folder setup different user name. (i have 1 far know) if don't specify login in windows maps folder fine , can see contents, can't add, open or change anything.

i've been through several tutorials online there still seems tio missing bit. l not getting it. hoping ask me question have not thought of yet.

in advance.

hi,

can open terminal window on pi, run following command , paste output?

code: select all

ls -al [path folder] 
example, if folder "/home/pi/share":

code: select all

ls -al /home/pi/share 
can use output determine if have appropriate rights/ownership.

did create folder outside of home folder (/home/pi)? if so, chances ownership "root" , might not have appropriate permissions read contents.
