Can't access sub directories of smb shares

Post by theotheraussie » 2022/07/24 02:59:01

For some reason, i can get in to the share named misc, but if i try to get into downloads sub folder it says i dont have access but i am a valid user for the share in the smb config and i own the directory downloads. i am trying to access it from windows.

Read /etc/samba/smb.conf.example
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

samba will never bypass chmod directory seted

if you are a samba user and create a directory root:root 600 at console you will never access it except you set force user=root
