Accessing XBMC Live external HDD from Windows
#1
I am hoping someone can help me with my problem...

I am unable to move files to my XBMC Share's via Windows (Windows 7).

- I am running XBMC Live 9.11 and have an external USB hard drive mounted.
- I have Samba installed and have shares added for my Movies and TV Shows directories on the external:

Code:
[Movies]
path = /media/HTPC/Movies
guest ok = yes
read only = no
force user = xbmc
inherit permissions = yes
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775

[TV Shows]
path = /media/HTPC/TV Shows
guest ok = yes
read only = no
force user = xbmc
inherit permissions = yes
directory mask = 0775
create mask = 0775

I can see XBMCLIVE on the network and I can browse through the shares I created. I can copy files off of the shares without a problem. But I cannot move files around, rename files, or copy files over to the shares.

At first the error message I was receiving was about invalid permissions, so I checked the way the drive was mounted and it was ro, so I re-mounted it to rw.

For reference here is the way the drive is currently mounted:

Code:
/dev/sdb1/ on /media/HTPC type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,allow_other,blksize=4096)

Now when I attempt to move files to the shares I get the following messages:

Drag and drop from Windows File Explorer:
Could not find this item. This is no longer located in \\XBMCLIVE\TV Shows. Verify the item's location and try again.

Upload the file with SFTP:
open for write: no such file or directory. File transfer failed.

I am new to Linux so forgive me if this is a simple issue, but I cannot figure it out and have spent hours on the Wiki and searching the forums.

Any help would be appreciated.
