I'm trying to use Samba to transfer some pictures on my local network from one of my Linux machines to my windows XP one. I set up the Samba Server using

I am not using passwords. I can bring up the shareddocs linux folder from my Windows machine and move files in and out of it form the Windows machine. I am running a small network (workgroup) setup (no Windows domain controller). # Global parameters [global] socket options = SO_KEEPALIVE IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY username map = /etc/samba/user.map domain master = False map to guest = bad user veto files = /*.eml/*.nws/riched20.dll/*.{*}/ wins support = yes unix extensions = Yes printing = CUPS workgroup = MYHOME os level = 2 printcap name = CUPS syslog = 0 security = share log level = 1 server string = Desktop-Linux # null passwords = yes [SharedDocs] path = /shareddocs guest ok = Yes guest account = nobody force group = MYHOME force create mode = 0060 force directory mode = 0070 create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 read only = no I created a shareddocs folder on my Linux machine just to make it obvious that that was the folder I was sharing with my Windows machine. It's been so long since I set this up I don't remember what some of he options do, but this works for me from my XP machine. Greg Wallace P. S.: I substituted your group name for mine.
