Cant write in shared folder on XP computer.

[cecar]

Hi all.

Doing my best to leave windows world and enter the world of Linux Mint.

I have a trouble with write rights to an Windows XP computer on my network. The folder is shared with read an write rights but i cant write in it from my Linux Mint computer. There is no troubles writing to it from another Windows computer, i can browse the share from my Linux Mint computer. I just cant write in it (add files). Doing the other way around is no problem either (write on Linux Mint share from Windows XP computer).

Soooo... Anyone who can help a lost user here?

Thanks... Cecar..

I have an NTFS partition that I set up when I installed Mint in the partition setup. I specificied it to be mounted on /media/VISTA . Actually it is up to you what mount directory you use or how you spell it.

drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 12288 2010-08-24 17:18 Vista

But if you did not set it up at install time, you can create a mount directory and set up the permissions. By default Mint makes the sudo User a member of the group ' plugdev '
You can make your target directory permissions with group=" plugdev " an give it read and write permiissons, like this - -

Terminal
cd /media
sudo mkdir Vista
sudo chgrp plugdev Vista
sudo chmod g+rw Vista

Then edit your /etc/fstab file to include this in the start up

/dev/sda1 /media/Vista ntfs defaults 0 0
