u can use the parameters in smb.conf file

like
write = yes
readonly = no
browsable = yes

and u can use chmod command also, better to go for some tutorials

followup question sir,

Im confused on wheter to use :

force group = aaaa

or

read only = @aaaa

on giving aaaa(group) a read only access to a certain files on a samba server.

Actually to give read only access u have to give
read only = yes

if u r using the group for that, means the meaning of force group = aaaa
means the members of the group aaa have all the permission on that share

good day!!!

Thanks for the reply Gaurav...

what if i dont want that group to have a write permission on that share?, should i write :

------------------------------
[ FILE ]

path = /FILE
read only = no
browseable = yes
force group = aaaa
write list = mw

------------------------------

is my smb.conf conflicting? i have a aaaa group that i only want to view /FILE but only me can write to /FILE..

Thank you!
