Shared drive locked to home user

(1/3) > >>

I have a shared drive from a Windows machine on my Ubuntu 17.04 that encounters errors from MC 23.0.61. MC does not appear to have more than read-only permission. When I look at the shared mounting point there is a small locked icon in the right corner of the shared folder. I have used the usual chmod to try and change privileges for my user but I get an access denied error.

This is what my fstab file looks like:

--- Code: ---//hillwrk/f /home/mitchell/Media cifs noauto,x-systemd.automount,credentials=/home/mitchell/samba-credentials  0  0
--- End code ---

The directory for the mounting point is /home/mitchell/Media

The samba server sets the permissions that various logins can exercise over the shares.  The most likely issue is that the permissions on the windows samba host are too restrictive for your user.  So you'll need to change the permissions on the windows machine and make sure that the user you're using to login into the share has write permissions.  If you're logging in as a guest, guests don't have write permission by default.

The Windows machine has permissions for Everyone as full control and the account I'm using is the administrator account. That should be all the permissions the Ubuntu client needs.

If you type "ls -la /home/mitchell/media" into the terminal what's the result?

The result is:

--- Code: ---ls: cannot access '/home/mitchell/media': No such file or directory

--- End code ---
This is strange since the mounting point is there and MC plays the files with no problem. Just occasional error messages about access when tagging files.
