Samba able to copy folders but unable to copy files

Question

I am currently using CentOS 6.5 and trying to share files over a samba share. On the other machine is Windows 8 x64. I am able to transfer folders from Windows to CentOS over without issues but however, when I try to copy a single file over to CentOS, I get permission denied error on Windows.

Permissions of the folder is as follows:

drwxrwxrwx.   5 user01 smbusers  4096 Feb 28 23:23 srv

And the smb.conf:

[srv]
        comment = Data
        path = /srv
        browseable = yes
        writable = yes
        read only = no
        valid users = @smbusers
        workgroup = WORKGROUP
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775

I would like to know what is the problems that is preventing me from copying files over but not folders. Contents inside the folders get copied over without issues. Help appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Try to change the owner of directory/folder where you are going to copy the file in CentOS from Windows, it's usually done by chown command. For example if you want to the change the owner of directory named share from root to your_user_name, you can do this by following command,

sudo chown your_user_name share

This will change the owner of share folder to your login user.
