Hi. I've got Ubuntu setup and want to access some folders on it. most of the folders i want anyone to be able to just read, but i'm trying to get one to allow me (with a prompt for username/password) to write to.
if anyone can help, the share I want to write to is V, and i've tried adding "write list = michali" (michali is my username) but it just says no permissions when i try it from windows (as opposed to popping up with an insert password box).
The other two shares I only manged to get working when i forced the user to be michali. I can';t do this for V becuase then everyone and anyone will be able to write to it as well.
here's the smb.conf i've got so far:
Any help is appreciated!

Code:
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = Samba
netbios name = ABIT
#hosts allow = XX.XXX.XXX.XXX XX.XXX.XXX.XXX
security = share
smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
wins support = no
[D]
path = /media/Downloads
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
force user = michali
[V]
path = /media/VIDEOS
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
security = user
write list = @michali
[AllVideos]
path = /media/VIDEOS/My Videos
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = no
force user = michali
Any help is appreciated!
