Title: Want to use SAMBA for small WinXP / Win7 workgroups...
Post by: NNYITGuy on 2010.05.15, 22:21:21
Hello All,

I am in need of some assistance...  I have tried to use SAMBA on eCS for small WinXPPro / Win7Pro workgroups.  I copied the files from the Win client to the share.  Then needed to copy a file to the same folder and that copy completed.  The resulting file I wanted to rename it.  I renamed it and then was told "Make sure the disk is not full or write protected."  I checked the local file on the eCS share and there were no restrictions of ReadOnly and the disk was not near full.  I then looked at the SAMBA Status Monitor and it told in the File tab that the file was DENY MODE = DENY NONE but the R/W was RDONLY...

Can someone explain what might be going on here?

TIA,
-Todd

Hi Todd,

Sorry I can't be of help as I've never been able to get SAMBA to work at all.  I have an FTP server set up on my OS/2 server and use FileZilla on windows boxes if I need to transfer files.

This is where someone in the community that has SAMBA working without problems should step in and give us a step by step guide on how to do it or do something like the cups wpi that appears to set everything up for you (thanks for that Peter even if I don't need it for any of our printers).

Hi Todd

When you say "samba on eCS" do you mean the client, EVFSgui, which is used for accessing shares on *nix and win systems? If "Yes" which build of EVFSgui is in use? - Later versions of the gui and necessary plugin available from http://svn.netlabs.org/samba/ may resolve the issue.
