I am using Mac OS X 10.6.3 on my Mac Pro, and I also have a nice little ubuntu server, I think it is 8.04 Hardy. I am running samba so taht I can use it as a file server, as well as many other things like web server etc. But for some very odd reasons, I was unable to copy files onto that server from my Mac. some files are OK, but some files, even it is exactly the same format, say pdf, it spit out an error reading:
The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.
I was trying to change permission and trying to lock/unlock the files from finder or terminals and getting nowhere fast, and very frustrated.
Then I came across this blog post: Errors Copying Files from Mac to Ubuntu Samba Share. Thank God. It had a link to MacOSXHInts.com , and it was not my mac setting, but something that I can solve by Ubuntu end.
Basically add a line in smb.conf file, which was in /etc/samba/ folder for me, and restart the samba server. the line is:
unix extensions = no
Looks like those link to another blog here. Anyway, thanks internet community for the help!
