I have two computers within my network. One Windows XP and another Mandrake 9.0.
I have installed Samba and I have communication between my 2 machines. My Windows machine can access files and folders on my Linux box.
On my Linux box I have 2 hard drives my Linux drive and a secondary drive that is FAT32 that I mounted to the system. I can view and access files on the FAT32 drive
I want to be able to have my Windows computer write to the FAT32 drive on my Linux box. There are appears to be some type of file rights issue I must resolve. I have tried to change the USER and GROUP of the mounted drive but that doesn't seem to work. I also changed the group of my USER to ROOT to see if that would allow me to do this, but it doesn't.
Is this possible? The current mounted FAT32 drive is set to 755. I tried to chmod it but that didn't seem to work either.
Would it be better to change the filesystem of the drive?
