samba server sharing issue

[MichaIng]

This is just the symlink, which has always root:root owner but 777 permissions, hence is global R/W accessible. Important is the target dir permissions:
ls -al /mnt/dietpi_userdata/

internal dir(/opt/Radarr) seems to work ok! I can see its files in smb client in android.

any ideas for the external /mnt directory?

Hmm okay, not 100% sure. Does the samba server report any issues? E.g.

Code: Select all

journalctl -u smbd
cat /var/log/samba/error.log # Not sure how the file is called exactly

i changed the smb dir back to /mnt/dietpi_userdata and it works (at least in android)!!

thanks for the support guys!

Okay yes userdata dir permissions look fine. Let me know if Windows still has issues, I never used it from there hence not sure about client specific needs.

in win10, i still cannot view the shared folder (same issues as in the photos in first page).

I guess you would need to enter the full path into W10 Explorer

\\<<your Samba Server IP >>\dietpi

At least, that's how it is working for me

I use the full path "\\192.168.1.118\dietpi" but the access is denied.
maybe windows cannot identify some special characters (i had this issue 2 months ago, when i was trying smb share through dietpi).
Anyway, since android sharing is ok, i am fine at the moment.

Hi,

try to setup SAMBA without any modification first. Just to check if it's working or not

How to manage/access is described here

I just checked it and I was able to access from my Windows10 computer without issues right after installation.

Well, this was reason enough for me to register for an account to post... I installed SAMBA with no mods, no mods in user accounts or passwords, etc. About as vanilla as you can get. I'm getting the same "Access Denied" as the OP is. Just pointing out that it's not user error as this seems to imply.

Cheers,
