My Linux box is on a Windows network and I would like to be able to share files between my computer and the rest. I have managed to configure Samba following these instructions: http://www.samba.netfirms.
smbclient //<machine name>/<shared folder name> -W <domain of the machine> -U <username> and when I am prompted for the user's password I enter it correctly and I can have access. I can browse files on the Windows shared folder, I can copy files *from* the Windows shared folder but I cannot copy files *to* the Windows shared folder. Every time I try to do a put (using a file, lets call it msg2.txt) I get the following error message:
NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED opening remote file \msg2.txt
Not sure if this is a Windows or Linux problem but any help is appreciated.
Computers specs are:
Red Hat Linux 9.1
Samba version 2.2.7a
Thank you.

owensleftfoot is correct is the permission setting of that shared folder disallow you to put/create file, check the permission right of the folder to see what's your (the login user) permission. if there is no setting, add the acces right for you into the folder set permission you can read write, and try again.
The reason you can get the file, once you share out the folder/file(s) the standard permission for guess account is read only as owensleftfoot said.

Its a windows problem. The share you are browsing is read only to the user you are connecting from with smbclient.
