I have a directory on my Linux machine that I want to share to my Windows machine. I want to be able to modify / delete these files from the Windows PC. I've installed and am using Samba to share the directory. I am able view the directory from windows, however I am unable to rename a file (modify) or delete a file. When I attempt to do so, I get an error saying: "You require permission from Unix Userroot to make changes to this file".



Here is my smb file (it's grown a bit messy):

workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v

passdb backend = tdbsam

    How about showing us ls -l /opt/vmpro/VRL/fileNotUpdatable? It would also be good to know if you can create new files in the share's root.
