#If you cannot write to the shares, there are two things to check. * Permissions permissions at the SAMBA leveland Linux levels must be checked.* Permissions at the Linux level At the SAMBA level, check Setup -> Shares. Make sure the user has access to the share you are looking at. *At the Linux level, you have to ssh into your HDA or login at the console and try to write a file in to the folder for the share (typically in /var/hda/files/FOO, if you did not change the default path).#If you cannot access the shares, and you are on a Windows Vista machine, there may be other connections open and you may get this error:[[File:Errorpermissions.jpeg]]*So we will try doing this:**Start -> Type "cmd" into the search bar and press enter**Type in "net use * /delete" to delete all open shared connections**Double check nothing is connected: "net use"**Try connecting to the HDA shares one more time.
