March 16, 201115 yr hi, I thought I'd keep it simple and use the basic (extremely inflexible) form of filesharing, even though I have a plus license. I was hoping to use FTP or some non-samba file protocol as administrator to add files, and make all my user shares read only, and not ever export single disks or the flash drive, unless I needed to briefly. However, ftp access and file chmodding seems cumbersome to the inexperienced linux user - would you recommend I use user level permission and anonymous.sh to allow random anonymous read-only access and the exceptions field to allow a single user (namely the admin, myself) to read-write? I like the idea of locking one protocol down to read-only for any 'ol anonymous, and another protocol for adding files from an admin standpoint, but if the file permissions are a problem, of course I would like to get samba set up properly. It just seems it would be nice to be able to FTP to /mnt/diskX and see what's there. can i tweak users or groups to make this work without chmodding every time? thanks for your patience with a nuwb.
