Share folder (Solved)
Hi I have Linux mint 17.3
I have created two user accounts . One is admin and another as kids login without password.
How to share a folder between two users ? I had tried by right clicking on folder setting share. But still it doesn't work.

Re: Share folder
Those sharing options are for between machines, not users, you need to change permissions.
Look here, https://askubuntu.com/questions/291501/ ... ocal-users
and here, https://askubuntu.com/questions/142569/ ... ween-users
Permissions are important, if you want better understanding of them maybe watch this video,

Re: Share folder
Seems Mint 17 didn't have that comand pre-installed. Install it via:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install acl

Re: Share folder
Weird, so it was pre-installed after all, but you're missing the command, wonder how that happened. Try re-installing it:
Note that you can also use the solution linked by rickNS above.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install --reinstall acl

Re: Share folder
Same error repeated. Pls suggest any other software which can be used to share folder between two user accounts.
Re: Share folder
That should be impossible. You are not just making a typo, right? I can't really read your sideways screenshots, but in case of doubt copy & paste this:
Code: Select all
sudo /bin/setfacl -m d:o:rwx /home/Shared\ newfold/

Unable to follow rickNS solutions. Confusing. You can do remote log in too and help via desktop sharing and help me pls.

Re: Share folder
The package has a the file, so we just need to get it installed properly: https://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/i386/acl/filelist
So if re-installing didn't help, remove it and then install it again:
Otherwise I already said that you can follow the guide linked by Rick above for a different approach.
