Adjusting file access settings for upcoming needs This will help manage permissions effectively moving forward.
Hello everyone, I recently installed a Linux Server using Ubuntu and set up file sharing through Samba. When I adjusted folder permissions recursively, all users could access the files, but once a new folder was created, only its owner had access. Changing permissions again to grant group-wide access became cumbersome. We need a solution so new folders can be created easily without constantly updating permissions. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
@Kanna UPDATE: Folders are readable but not editable (even owners can't write now). Share Config is set as: [DLC] path = /media/user/x/samba/DLC browseable = yes guest ok = yes force group = dlcusers valid users = @dlcusers create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 force create mode = 0777 force security mode = 0777 force directroy mode = 0777 force directory security mode = 0777. From what I understand, now most users should be able to modify anything. I’m using Linux users too—could that be the issue?
We accepted the approach suggested by @WereCatf, so I wondered if you'd be willing to assist as well.
