Since setting up my samba shares I have been unable to write to either of them. My config:
[minecraft]
path = /opt/minecraft
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0777
[www]
path = /var/www
writeable = yes
read only = no
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0777
I am unable however to write to either of these shares from a Windows machine. I have the folders themselves (and all subfolders) at 755, but still nothing.
The only thing that has allowed me to get the shares to be writeable is making them and their subfolders 777 and that just feels wrong.
Am I missing something?

Have you tried forcing the user to be the one that owns the directory?force user = [owner]? Probably not elegant but it seems to work. You might be able to do it via a group as well, but I quit experimenting once I got it to work.

I'll test that out. I should have kept track of this, but what should the permissions of files/folders be. I just changed both folders recursively to 777 because I needed it to work...

Looks like mine are 750. I have force user = the owner and force group = the owner's group. I also have a valid users = [] [] listing the people allowed to access it. This seems to let the people in the valid users line access the directory but everything they do is as if they were the owner.
