I am trying to backup a windows 7 machine to my open suse linux 13.1 machine and apparently having a security issue that I can't pin down. I have a partition formatted as a HPFS/NTFS. Been into YAST and setup a user ID. And added a user and password for the SMB by using the smbpasswd program. Further I have a directory setup for the windows machine.
On the Windows 7 machine I can go into the file directory via My Computer, then into network, choose the machine, enter the username and password,, then drill down to the directory where this machine is to store it's backups. Win running windows backup I again choose the linux machine, and then the partitions. Then I enter the username and password and the back starts but quickly ends with "The specified network location cannot be used." Verify the path points to correct a network location and that the supplied credentials can be used for write access to the folder.
In looking at the head directory it has permissions of drwxr-xr-x root users. The windows 7 machine's userid is in the users group but still the folder premission is not set to write and can't do that for partition that is NPFS.
How do I get around this?
