I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on my Virtual Machine as a web server. I've mounted the W:/ drive in Win 7 to my /www folder in Ubuntu.

I can read the files, but I'm not able to write to the files.

In Samba, I have created the following user: 

<www-data> = "<www-data>"

And given guest ok for the www folder: 

[www]
comment = Ubuntu WWW area
path = /var/www
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0755
;directory mask = 0775
force user = www-data
force group = www-data

I've also run sudo chmod -R 755 www to make ensure correct rw access.

What am I missing in order to get write access to my ubuntu files from Windows?

Nothing is logged when I try to write to files, even though I get access denied.

  • waiting time? You asked the question 22 hours ago, how can it possibly still have waiting time?

After I ran an update (updating Ubuntu, Mambo ++) and once again ran sudo chmod -R 755 www I finally got it working.
