How do I get write access to ubuntu files from Windows? [closed]

Question

I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 on my Virtual Machine as a web server. I've mounted the W:/ drive in Win 7 to my /www folder in Ubuntu.

I can read the files, but I'm not able to write to the files.

In Samba, I have created the following user:

<www-data> = "<www-data>" 

And given guest ok for the www folder:

[www]
comment = Ubuntu WWW area
path = /var/www
browsable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no
create mask = 0755
;directory mask = 0775
force user = www-data
force group = www-data

I've also run sudo chmod -R 755 www to make ensure correct rw access.

What am I missing in order to get write access to my ubuntu files from Windows?

Answer 1

I can only guess without having the ls -l output of /var/www.

You are still under Unix type permissioning when accessing the file, thus unless the owner is correct (i.e. www-data) then you will not be able to access the directory and create files.

There is a bit of information missing here that would provide a clear picture of what is happening.
