You need to set up the shares on the server in /etc/samba/smb.conf like so: [download] comment = Download Area inherit acls = Yes path = /storage/download/ read only = No This provides a share called download with the files located in /storage/download and it is r/w. Restart samba with rcsmb restart && rcnmb restart to activate any changes in the configuration.
I already have something like that. See below, "[shared]". Could one of the other sections be screwing it up? Most of the config was done via YaST. The [shared] was added by hand.
SAMBA can be used two ways: 1) Allow Linux systems to access the "Shared" folders on Windows machines. 2) Allow Windows machines to see the "Shared" folders on your Linux system. Your reference to /mnt in your first post only applies to the 1st scenario. Any changes you make to /etc/samba/smb.conf only affects the 2nd scenario. In neither of your emails have you provided details of a problem that needs fixing.
