Notes : this worked . I used the same password on all 3 computers
- I don't know whether this is important .
I copied over my files from the XP using Beyond Compare . The directories
and files were set up as being owned by 'nobody' and accessed from
'nogroup' . This prevented me accessing them using my user name
. I changed the owner using the 'chown' command and the '-R' recursive
directory switch . The group using the 'chgrp' command and the protection
using the 'chmod' command . This allowed me access on the Ubuntu
Linux machine but prevented me from having access from the XP machine
. I checked the visibility of the Ubuntu Linux machine in the Windows
File Explorer - it was not visible . On the Ubuntu Linux machine
: I restarted the Samba - no change . I checked on the File Browser
- the folder is not shown as shared . I checked under Properties
\ Share - all boxes ticked ( by default ) - I pressed Close - no
change . I checked under Permissions - tried setting all the permissions
to Read and Write and tried both the Apply and Close buttons - no
change . I went to Places and opened up a window on Network \ Home
Folder and the shared folder is indicated as shared . The group
for the root shared folder is indicated as sambashare , the owner
is myself , all sub directories and files are owned by myself ,
likewise the groups . I changed the group of the root shared folder
over to myself - no change - still no visibility XP side . I got
visibility within Beyond Compare , however , so I assigned a drive
, under Windows File Explorer , to the shared directory and used
this to access the Windows MS VS VC++ project from the XP machine
. The important thing is accessing the Ubuntu Linux machine using
the IP address . The IP address should be assigned to a fixed address
by the DHCP - by the router .
Linux console commands : chown , chgrp , chmod
