Issue
local file server issue
I have a folder on my ClearOS server which is supposed to be able to be read and written to by everyone (locally) and it is not allowing proper write access with Windows clients. I can create new files fine but when I try to delete or move certain files I get an error message that says:
"You need permission to perform this action
You require permission from WORKGROUP\anon to make changes to this folder"
"anon" is the account for users other than myself and I think it is the account that was used to create these troublesome files that I cannot delete or move.
How do I enable proper full write access for everyone?
Thanks.

I've no idea why the problem occurred. It may because of the original flexshare permissions when the file was created. Permissions don't automatically change if you move files between shares as root directly in ClearOS (for example using WinSCP).
I've no idea exactly which permissions you need for "other/guest" and it probably does not make any difference as guest access is disallowed in samba. The guest permission you've given the files is 4 (read only). Change it as you wish with chmod. -

This is like extracting hens teeth
So who are the owners of these files?
Also you can see you have a permissions problem as the group does not have write access (drwxr-xr-x and not drwxrwxr-x). You can sledgehammer it by going to the parent share folder and do something like "chmod -R 774 *" -

What are the permissions of these files? From a console session, navigate to the folder (generally somewhere under /var/flesxhare/shares) and give the output to "ls -la". Check that the group membership is the group you've created the share for. If not use the "chown" command to change the group. Also check the file permissions. Mine are a bit inconsistent, but they should be at least 760 or 770 (rwxrw---- or rwxrwx---). These can be changed with the "chmod" command. -
