I have tried to share ntfs drives from Linux mint to network

[dureal99d]

I have tried to share ntfs drives from Linux mint to linux/windows boxes without any success.

The drives show as available to my windows machines but are inaccessible (permission denied) when i click on them.

How do I set the appropriate permissions in Linux mint 14 mate so that linux/windows boxes can access shares on my linux mint box.

I have installed samba, winbind and configured them both.

Basicly what I am attempting to do is share my ntfs drives that are on my linux mint box with other machines on my network. I am having trouble performing this task due to permission problems when a windows/linux box attempts to access those shares.


I am able to access windows shares from mint with no issue. I can call up windows machines by host name and my mint box. my linux mint box machine responds by host name when called upon by a windows machine. I am just unable to access my ntfs shares on Linux mint from other machines on the lan.

help please & thank you

Note: I'm going to ignore the winbind comment and treat this like a home network.

There is not enough information to answer this question. Let's start with the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

testparm -s

Code: Select all

net usershare info --long

And how are you mounting these NTFS partitions? In fstab? Or as needed through Caja?
