The only reason I asked is because mimmo's problem with sdb1 might be related to kanehekili's on the first page.

Hi all

I have installed 528 (and 525 ) frugal on /sda6

/mnt (root:root 755)
/sdb1 is another hard drive (root:root 777) FAT32 used to be my D: drive on windows
/Photo the photo dir I wish to share (root:root 777)
all dir after Photo are (root:root 777)

on the window explorer I see the "photo" dir but when trying to open it it fails

I was able to share
- spot ( /root/spot spot:spot 755 ) with access to files
- puppy-reference ( /root/puppy-reference root:root 777 )
in this one I can read an image I have put here
I can see all the link (standard install) but I cannot follow these links (all L777 i.e. lrwxrwxrwx ) see attached
I even wrote the windows snapshot there to post it ( was created a root:root 755)

it doesn't look like a pb of plain user access right

Thanks to all hope this helps

I tried (just for fun ) to have a complex conf

what I have is that:
- only the last drive is mounted (sda5 in this case not sda1 nor sdb1 )
- all dir are "visible" from windows but only the one on the virtual
"lupusave.2fs" are realy accessible ( spot, puppyref and optsamba )

The best way to debug Samba is to do the simplest thing first.

1. In the [global] section, put the security mode back to "user". That will force the client to login, so you know exactly what ownership/permissions are in effect.

2. Make your share definitions as simple as possible. All you really need is

@Mimmo, I have updated the 'kit" you were given earlier. That kit had complete steps. I never got feedback on the items in that kit from you.

@rcrsn51 and I are suggesting a very basic start before adding complexity. It makes it easy to isolate any problems when they arise. The original smb.conf was Basic. This new one in the kit is VERY BASIC


So in this update, I provide a very simple smb.conf. Please do the following and provide a WINDOWS console log this time. (This allow me to compare the results you are seeing with known issues.)

1. Edit the smb.conf and change the workgroup name to YOUR workgroup
   Open a console and run testparm (send or post the output of testparm with ALL messages)
   
2. restart samba
   
3. go to WINDOWS and do the "net use" commands as were given you before. (send/post the Windows messages as well).

Provide the results of that back to this thread.

I expect you will have some success from the smb.conf file you are given in the download. SAMBA, for what we are doing, is really very simple.

Hope this helps
Edited: It just occurs to me that you MAY have something else that you have installed which is doing something that might be affecting Puppy file rights (security). Have you?

ok back to a simple test situation
my conf!
+ Puppy 5.2.8
+ Instant-Update_Lucid_528_002
+ Firefox-5.0.1-lucid525 (quick pet)
+ samba-3.5.6-lucid

no fancy stuff
I have a home network with a router no real need for firewall (the NAT block all ports)

testparm full results

Bonjour
Il y a une discussion en français sur ce thème sur le forum de l'asri
http://asri.edu.free.fr/thread.php?lng=fr&pg=3778&fid=1&cat=2
voir la réponse 22

You can see also my pupplet (i use its in french primary school)
http://www.neufgiga.com/n/50-17/share/LNK53044eab15bfb9e89/

I use
lampp with mysql support
mysql is ok on puppy5.25 but i have error 2002 on puppy5.28

samba-tng-rcrsn-0.5-rc1.pet : it is ok for exchange beetween puppy et windows xp
smb.conf is written with the same workgroup than microsoft's group

I have some problem with vista home and windows seven
when I want copy a file <50 ko it is ok but if the file is bigger, it is impossible to copy from vista or seven to pupshare
On vista and seven, it is possible to use upload with http to send a big file
I use lampp because it is easier for me than but i think that lhmp is better (with lhmp I have no sql error on lucid5.2 but it's necessary to modify hiawatha.conf (virtual hosts and show index)
With lhmp, It'seems (to me) also necessary to have puppy install on ext3 partition and it is not fine for me because I often install puppy with unetbootin in the school and ntfs is used on the computer with windows

Curiously I have a windows -application which is able to send big file from vista or seven to puppy share even if lampp is not installed
see http://dominique.pepoli.free.fr/Duplik.htm

So i have a new question
How to send big file from vista home to puppyshare ?

sorry for my english

@alaindu22: Just to be clear:

From XP, you CAN send a large file to pupshare?
From another Puppy machine, you CAN send a large file to pupshare?
From Vista or Win7, you CANNOT send a large file to pupshare?
Can you DOWNLOAD large files from the Samba server to a Vista client?

Unfortunately, I don't have either a Vista or Win7 machine to test this. Have you tried one of the full Samba packages instead of Samba-TNG?

Send a PM to forum member jrb. He has used samba-TNG with Win7.

Edit: Maybe this is useful. Or this.

Hello

Thanks rcrsn51 for your interest.
You have done a good resume

From XP, you CAN send a large file to pupshare? YES
From another Puppy machine, you CAN send a large file to pupshare? YES
From Vista or Win7, you CANNOT send a large file to pupshare? YES it is impossible
Can you DOWNLOAD large files from the Samba server to a Vista client? YES and I can open them on the samba server and save them on the samba server if they stay on the samba server during the job.

Have you tried one of the full Samba packages instead of Samba-TNG?
No so I 'll test it next week .

My tests are executed from xp pro (no domain) vista home and seven familial

What am I doing wrong? I am using Puppy 528 in a Full install

sh-4.1# mkdir /srv/Downloads
mkdir: cannot create directory `/srv/Downloads': No such file or directory

I have had this happen also when trying to make a nested directory.
My solution was to first make the top level one first.
So if I want to make /downloads/music, I first create a directory called /downloads with "mkdir /downloads".
Then I type "mkdir/downloads/music".
That works for me.
