My dumb mode is going deeper than I thought. Looking at the directory, the group ownership is "users". The group *DOES* have write permission. I was assuming that I couldn't write to the directory because Konqueror was refusing to store a download into it. Checking closer, I was able to write a text file into the directory using vim. The problem, then, appears to be / have been in Konqueror. This makes it a much smaller problem. Can anyone suggest what it might be?

Check your mount command. /dev/hda1 on /windoz/c type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=xxx) Make sure it is mounted r/w. Can you change to root and write to it? The permissions of the /windows/C directory should reflect the mount: Unmounted: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2003-09-01 14:23 c Mounted: drwxr-xr-x 18 xxx xxx 4096 1969-12-31 19:00 c Note that I use my user name as a unique group name.

Hi Jerry, As you may have seen from my second post, it is actually curiouser than it seemed at first. It appears that the only thing I can't do is download a file into one of the directories. I've tried both Konqueror and Mozilla. Both of them fail saying they can't create the file because of write permissions. But... I downloaded the file to one of my Linux directories, called up a command line, and mv'ed the file to the SAME windoze directory that neither Konq nor Mozilla could write to. I haven't a clue as to what would cause this behavior ---Michael

I haven't a clue as to what would cause this behavior Yes, it is very curious. I mounted my Windows ME C: drive and was able to download to it from Netscape 7.1 and Konqueror 3.1.4.
I downloaded into a subdirectory rather than the Windows root directory
for two reasons. First, just to insure that the directory was mounted,
and secondly so it would be easy to locate and delete later. But, it
should not make a difference whether you download to the Windows C root
or one of its subs.
