However, I will want it=20=20 to write to a directory I have shared from my Linux box using samba,=20=20 without mounting it explicitly. I understand that this at least ought to be possible using a UNC path=20=20 (//server/share) but all attempts to list the current content are=20=20 showing it to be empty. If I try to access a file I know to be there,=20=20 or to create a new one, I get "Permission denied". I can clearly see=20=20 that the shares are there, but cannot make any practical use of them. I am therefore left in the position of having to seek advice on this.=20=20 The permissions do allow the shares to be mounted in Windows, but in=20=20 the case of this particular one, I am looking for it not to be mounted. I am quite happy to post further details if needed.
