Samba windows permissions might need clarifying. #54

Closed nic-kill closed 1 year ago

nic-kill commented 2 years ago

When setting up i had issues getting write permission working on a windows PC that was connected. I could read the directory but not write to it despite having read only = no and/or writeable =yes. As i understand this is quite a common issue but the guide as is would indicate it should work at that point.

I ended up fixing it by giving myself ownership of the samba directory and adding in a create mask and directory mask to the samba config.

I can provide more details and/or submit a PR but i'm not sure if what i did was best practice, i was an edge case and this isn't common, or if there's a better way to fix this issue.

Permissions are always out to getcha! Glad you got it working.
