Cannot Modify / Delete files over samba share
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
1
I have a directory on my Linux machine that I want to share to my Windows machine. I want to be able to modify / delete these files from the Windows PC. I've installed and am using Samba to share the directory. I am able view the directory from windows, however I am unable to rename a file (modify) or delete a file. When I attempt to do so, I get an error saying: "You require permission from Unix Userroot to make changes to this file".
Here is my smb file (it's grown a bit messy):
[global]
unix charset = UTF-8
dos charset = CP932
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
security = SHARE
passdb backend = tdbsam
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
hosts allow = 127., 10., 192.168., 172.
cups options = raw
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
browseable = no
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
[VRL]
path = /opt/vmpro/VRL
writable = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
create mode = 0777
directory mode = 0777
share modes = yes
readonly = no
smbusers
nobody=*
stat /opt/vmpro/VRL returns this:
File: `/opt/vmpro/VRL'
Size: 819200 Blocks: 1608 IO Block: 4096 directory
Device: 803h/2051d Inode: 4989348 Links: 3
Access: (0777/drwxrwxrwx) Uid: ( 495/ vmpro) Gid: ( 490/ vmpro)

Change: 2017-01-20 17:14:00.000000000 -0500
What am I doing wrong?
Edit: per request, here is the result of an ls of a file. Notice that I changed it's permissions as well, the result still not changing.

How about showing usls -l /opt/vmpro/VRL/fileNotUpdatable? It would also be good to know if you can create new files in the share's root.

@JuliePelletier I updated the question with the ls results. Also, I attempted to create a new text file via windows and that failed with, "You need permission to perform this action".

Doessetsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write=1solve it?

How about showing usls -l /opt/vmpro/VRL/fileNotUpdatable? It would also be good to know if you can create new files in the share's root.
– Julie Pelletier
Jan 20 '17 at 22:30
@JuliePelletier I updated the question with the ls results. Also, I attempted to create a new text file via windows and that failed with, "You need permission to perform this action".

Doessetsebool -P allow_smbd_anon_write=1solve it?
