You need unix\root permission to make changes to the folder

Good afternoon, the following configured unit is not giving permission to delete or create new files

[USBDISK]
comment = DISK
path = /mnt/ce5df5bd-b729-4c9f-92f2-39e1a09a9292
available = yes
browseable = yes
create mask = 0775
directory mask = 0775
valid users = dietpi
writeable = yes
max connections = 8
read only = no

[usbdisk]
directory mask = 0775
valid users = dietpi root
writeable = yes
max connections = 8
read only = no

In the first share you only allow the user dietpi.
In the second one no path for the shared folder is defined.

the correct one is like this, I type it twice, but how do I create and turn off the folder which command I don’t know

What exactly you like to turn off?

Can you share more information on your disk

lsblk -o name,fstype,label,size,ro,type,mountpoint,partuuid,uuid
ls -la /mnt/ce5df5bd-b729-4c9f-92f2-39e1a09a9292

try

chmod -R 777 /mnt/YOUR_FOLDER

This is not a real fix to give everyone r/w access. Worst case scenario from security point of view :wink:

Better option would be to adjust folder settings in a way to allow SAMBA user only. But of course, this takes more efforts to set it up correctly :smiley:

Yes but this is the fast way to fix his problem and it works , If he doesn’t put any of important files but media only it’s ok . :slight_smile:
