Hi,

 

Is there a way to make a user share with a specific folder instead of a specific disk.

 

I mean i want all my drives to be read only and only 1 folder to be write so that people can drop files and i can sort them myself.

 

I find it hard to beleive there are no such options.

 

anything will help.

 

regards,

JonZ

Hi,

Yes.

You just need to define the share in a specific file in the config folder of your flash drive by hand.  It can point anywhere you like, and have any permissions you like.

 

The file is

config/smb-extra.conf

 

In it, put a series of lines like this:

[Public Upload Share]

        path = /mnt/disk1/public

        read only = No

 

The share name in the "[" "]' brackets can be whatever you want to see on the LAN

The path can be to any folder on any disk you like. 

 

I'm not certain, but I think the file must NOT have trailing carriage returns on the ends of the lines, so don't create it using windows notepad, as windows puts carriage returns on the ends of lines.

 

Once you have the file in place, you can stop the unRAID server from its management interface, then re-Start it, and the new share should show up on your LAN.
