My question is more about how to overcome a permissions problem. There is an Apache application that creates a new folder each time a new employee is added. I am working on an application that can copy files into each of these folders. Unfortunately, the folders are created with write permissions only for the owner (Apache Daemon).
I am currently trying to accomplish this using Samba. I don’t have access to the Apache application, but have full access to change anything on the server. However, I can’t write into these directories even when connecting as root through Samba. Is there a way to do this?
I had removed the read only = Yes option, not realizing that it was still the default. Added writeable = Yes.
