I can see, access and modify his shares. while he can't modify and access my shares but he can see them

How can I fix this issue?

I don't use KDE so I don't know what it's doing but it would help if we could see how your shares are set up. Please post the output of the following commands:

Code: Select all

testparm -s

Code: Select all

net usershare info --long

In order for that usershare to work the the permissions have to be 777. So run the following command:

Code: Select all

ls -dl /home/mbnoimi/Desktop/mnnoimi

It should come back with the following:

drwxrwxrwx mbnoimi mbnoimi /home/mbnoimi/Desktop/mnnoimi

If it's not that then make it that:

Code: Select all

chmod 0777 /home/mbnoimi/Desktop/mnnoimi

An alternative method is to add the following line to the [global] section of /etc/samba/smb.conf - right under the workgroup line:

Code: Select all

force user = mbnoimi

Then restart samba:

Code: Select all

sudo service smbd restart
