Permission denied on Samba share

P

paleksic

I have a samba server setup locally and I can connect to the specified shared home drive on the FreeBSD Server from the Linux and Windows machines.

I can delete, save or create only single files and folders but when i try to copy, move folders I get an "Permission Denied" error message.

Everything appears to be correct to allow full access to users so I dont know what is happening. Anyone got any advice?

Thanks

:q how is this even possible

paleksic@overlord mnt 1 $ cp -R /home/paleksic/Desktop/Downloads/screenshots samba/
paleksic@overlord mnt 0 $
 
Solved

The UID and GID of the users do not match on the server and client, so user have no proper rights to files in mounted shares on his local machine. I changed UID/GID's in the Linux box to bring them in sync with FreeBSD and as a result I can write to the share.
 
noperm option

I had the same problem and I just mounted with the share with the noperm option as per the mount.cifs man page. (instead of matching UIDs on the client/server)
