Good day
So currently taking the leap from windows to linux.
I decided to start playing around with Centos 7 here in South Africa.
Please note they I am completely new to linux as i have been working on windows for the past 15 years.
I installed centos 7 with no problems, I managed to install samba on centos and am now able to share files on the server.
Here is my problem, I have copied a file over the network to the shared folder on the server, when i try open the PDF on the server, the document viewer comes up with the following error. "Unable to open document, Error opening file: Permission denied"
Just want to know how i can get around this so that I can open this file on the server.
Thanks in advance for your help and your patience.
Error opening file: Permission Denied
Re: Error opening file: Permission Denied
Assuming you're able to get to the server and become an administrator there (or root if it's a CentOS server) show the results of
ls -l <filename>
I'm guessing that permissions got messed up somewhere, but from the description, it's a bit difficult to tell where. I haven't played with Samba for over a year, though I do have a VERY dated page on troubleshooting Samba in RH based distributions.

Re: Error opening file: Permission Denied
Thanks very much for your help, the problem was actually me. I was trying to open the file on the server with an account that I did not give permission to use that folder.
