Windows users unable to create folders in samba share drive
I recently installed a new ubuntu 9.10 server I have an additional 1 terabyte drive installed and formated as fat32. this drive is setup to mount on startup and i have the samba share set up.
when I go to the windows pc and find the share it opens fine, but when I try to create a new folder it says: unable to create the folder "new folder" access is denied.
the network that the samba on is a Workgroup with no usernames and passwords. I want everyone to have access to the samba share

my suggestion is install webmin and use that to configure the share.
using webmin to setup samba is MUCH easier than command/ config editing.

First, changing the permissions to 777 is not the right way. Use it like the real way with acl or valid users.
Set the log level in smb.conf at least to 3 and give us an output of samba, winbind and client log.

how do i set the log level to 3 and where can i find the log

ok I changed the log to level 3 how do i get a new log output? should i restart samba?

Okay, your directory "/media/fileserver/Applica tions" either doesn't exists or doesn't have the right permissions. So you have to do the following:
guest account = nobody # else samba don't know that nobody is a guest
# map to guest = bad user # uncomment if every user has a valid user/password combination
Look at my example and try to set permissions to a valid samba group or create a new group, add it to samba, chmod the directory and restart samba.
If all of this doesn't help you have to use another filesystem, ext4 or ext4, because samba can't get permissions and try it with nobody (guest).

well i reformated the drive to ext3 and now in ubuntu i can make files. but when i go to the windows computer it wont let me even access the share.
What is inside the share? Like this?

browseable = yes
public = yes
read only = no
writeable = yes

Sorry I missed out on all the fun!
This isn't as hard as some people are making it:
1) FAT32 filesystems don't have the kinds of permissions that Linux/Unix (hereinafter *nix) filesystems do... in fact, under FAT32, there is no such thing as an owner or group! So the fact that you couldn't write files under the FAT32 directory hierarchy would lead me to believe that it wasn't being mounted properly (as in: not being mounted rw).
But that's water-under-the-bridge now, as you've reformatted to ext3
2) You say in your most recent posting that under ext3, you can make files as an Ubuntu user, but not as a Windows user... well, with ext3 filesystems, you DO have users (and groups) who have separate rights and privileges.... so you need to figure out what user is being used...
One simple way to do that is to set your share to 777 permissions, create a temp file in the folder, and look to see who the owner and group are set to!
You haven't shared if this is some kind of domain (or AD) environment, or if these users have potential share accounts on Ubuntu. If the latter, then make sure your login information is correct -- remember that samba users DO have to correspond to *nix users, but they DO NOT necessarily share password information (for example, my CentOS 5 installations routinely have *nix and Samba accounts for all users -- but only Admins even HAVE valid passwords for their *nix shell accounts! Everyone else MUST use Samba to access the server -- it's ALL they are ALLOWED to use.
Finally, I'm supposing you're accessing the Ubuntu through a root (admin) account... it is also possible that you've over-protected your shared folders... namely, forgetting that all users MUST have execute permissions on all folders in the "directory tree" in order to have successful access.
Consider the path /home/public/share1/folder 2
For anyone to do anything to any file in folder2, they MUST have execute permission on /, /home, /home/public, /home/public/share1, and /home/public/share1/folder 2 .... ALL of them!
Good Luck!

/dev/sdb1 /media/fileserver vfat user,rw,auto,umask=0,uid=1
although it's back to my original problem.
The windows user is unable to add a folder or do anything to the share.
OK... vfat is FAT32... and there is no such thing as a user (for permissions)... that is ok, just limiting.
So I presume that a *nix user can access /media/fileserver/Applicat ions... could you provide the output from the following command:
ls -ld / /media /media/fileserver /media/fileserver/Applicat ions
Thanks,
