Samba configuration cannot open folders
Hi,
I'm taking a class on Linux. This week we are learning about Samba. Trying to set it up so that I can r/w files on the share. Using Centos 5.7.
I can view the \\servername\sharename from my Win 7 device. I cannot open the folder.
I set up a Linux user.
I setup a Samba user.
I matched passwords from my Win7 box to the 2 Linux passwords.
I can't figure this out.
I am using the Samba Server Configuration and the Samba Web Administration Tool.
Please advise.
And thank you to all who post...

Yes, I will need to know those commands. I am learning this in school and I'm struggling...
Here's the smb.conf:
[admin@Centos ~]$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2012/03/07 23:51:11
[global]
workgroup = workgroup
server string = Samba Server Version %v
passdb backend = tdbsam
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers
cups options = raw
security = share
; encrypt passwords = yes
; guest ok = no
; guest account = nobody
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[scott]
path = /home/scott
writeable = yes
; browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
