    Need some filesharing help

    Hei

    My knowledge is very basic on this subject so i need some help.

    Using Ubuntu 11.04 and i have a folder "Backup" shared with other computers. A certain application creates it's backup files in that particular folder. Other computers can access it, but cannot copy files from it.

    Other computers connect using the same account credentials as i use on the Ubuntu machine.

    I have tried chowning the folder and chmodding 777, but it doesnt help - all new files created by the program give me no access rights.

    How can i set it up so i dont have to chmod this folder every day?

    For filesharing i use regular GUI filesharing.

    Thanks

    Re: Need some filesharing help

    I tried with a Samba share:

    [backup]
    comment = Backups
    read only = no
    path = /..../Backup
    guest ok = no
    browseable = yes
    create mask = 0777

    Still the files created in this directory cannot be edited (copied to) from a Windows machine when accessing over network.

    Since i cannot umask a specific directory, i put umask 002 in this users .bashrc, this didnt also help.

    I can edit these files after using:
    sudo chmod -R 777 /Backup

    but every new file created will still be read-only. All i need is to copy these files to a Windows machine - i have setup a program on Win 7 to check for new files in this directory and copy them if needed.

    Help!

    Regards
