I want to access Linux folder from windows system
For that I edited smb.conf file and add these entry

[Deepali]
path = /Storage/deepali
writeable = yes
create mask = 0765
guest ok = yes
and also othere entry’s like global etc …

I also add a user name called deepali in samba user list as admin right (RW)

Now when I go to windows system and try to access this folder I could access but can right not it . what could be the problem ?

Because you don't have write priviledge to write into the Linux folder. What Linux
distro you are using? Change your smb.conf file settings to 'create mask=0777' and try now.
See if it works.
