I have a read-only share on my samba server, is it possible for me to make subdirectories on this share and make them writable for others/specific users?
Example:
\\server\share Only root write access
\\server\share\directory Writable for everyone/certain users
I've tried making a directory within the share with read/write access, but it is overruled by the shares read only setting.
navigate to the folder using terminal
$ chmod -R 755 directory
