Root folder write permissions
« on: August 25, 2014, 05:25:45 AM »
Hi I'm having problems being able to write to my root folder of my HD via SMB share in windows. I can upload files to it via web gui fine but in windows network share I can't write to it. I can create a folder in web gui then write to that though.

I read somewhere to use the setup application to map the drive however I already have data on the drive and don't particularly want to format it again...

What are your user and group settings for the CIFS (SAMBA) service?

Ok I suck. I think it may have been having the root mapped in funplug/debian. Changed permissions in /mnt now I can write to it. Sorry for wasting your time!
