So, no. OK. But I don't actually want to write on the Windows machine, unless that is required somehow by Samba. As I mentioned, my only reason for setting up Samba is to backup the Windows machine on my Linux server. Incidentally, I notice that both folders in question (one of which I can browse with Samba, and the other not) have "Read-only" checked, and I am apparently unable to uncheck this. If I do so, then when I leave the folder, and re-enter, I see that Read-only is checked again. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
