Background I was using 12.04 for a long time and never experienced these problems. I have a separate partition on which I back up my photography files from my Windows machine. I have ownership of the partition and Others have Create and Delete access. On the partition I have a folder "photography". Using a right click in Nautilus I shared the folder, allowed others to create and delete files, and allowed guests access. When I created the share I told Nautilus to apply these settings to files in the folder. Problem 1) I can access the shared photography directory and copy files to it. I cannot navigate to a nested folder. I get access denied. This is new with 14.04. How can I share the entire tree? Problem 2) When I copy files from Windows to Ubuntu, they are created with an owner of "Nobody". WTF??? Worse, when I delete, as root, the files are no longer visible, but they still take up space! /var/lib/samba/usershares/photography has: #VERSION 2 path=/big0/photography comment= usershare_acl=S-1-1-0:F guest_ok=y sharename=photography Any and all help appreciated! -- Stephen
