SMB Public share (visible) inside Hidden share (invisible)

[Moniker Lewinski]

Hi all,

 

This is my first post... I have been searching for some info on this topic and am a beginner user with not a huge amount of server/linux experience. I hope I didn't miss some previous solution or answer to this.

 

What I want to do is to have my overall /mnt/user/*sharename* hidden, but to have directories inside that share publicly visible and shareable.

 

e.g.
/mnt/user/myshare = not visible or even 'mountable' (if that is the correct term)
/mnt/user/myshare/mydocs = only want mydocs visible and shareable

 

Maybe I am missing something but I see no way to control SMB visibility and share access on a directory by directory basis - at least in the shares menu in unraid.

 

I have some vague intuition this would be possible using simlinks? But just guessing and unsure how to do it if so.

 

Thanks in advance.

Mountable is not the correct term.

Maybe a better and simpler way to say this is that I only want specific directories to be visible inside a share.

 

Also just a note that as I said I am a beginner so if this is completely impractical or just not a good idea please point that out

What you want is not possible using standard Unraid.   Visibility on the network (and access) is controlled at the share level, not for folders within that share.

OK thank you for this.
