I am new to ubuntu and samba in general, so please forgive my ignorance. I am trying to set up my server at home so that I can update the .html files on the server from my windows pc.



Here is the configuration that I have now:



[mattmooseHTML]
comment = HTML FILES
path =/var/www/html/
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
writeable = yes
read only = no


I am getting the File Access Denied error:
You require permission from Unixroot to make changes to this file
when I try to overwrite or save anything in that folder.
What do I need to do?

  • I added that edit, my apologies. Also I just tried editing file in nano on the device and get "Permission denied" error unless I am in sudo. Is there something that I have to do to give permissions to user or to open it up to guest?

    Hmmm. It's unclear to me what your question is. Are you having trouble editing the SMB conf file, or having trouble accessing files on a filesystem shared by SMB? Make sure it is clear in your question what you are trying to do, exactly.
