Title: smb.conf
Post by: jonwade75b on February 12, 2016, 08:19:26 AM

Hey!

Sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I am trying to edit the configuration of a GoFlex Home by Seagate.

I was following this guide http://goflexhome.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/protect-public-folder.html (http://goflexhome.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/protect-public-folder.html). I want to allow a user access to two "paths", for example Share/FolderOne and Share/FolderTwo without allowing them access to the entire share.
Is this possible?

Thank you in advance!

Not sure if this will help any but here is a situation I dealt with.

Last time I had a situation like this I changed the directory structure to act like a wall such as

Datalocation->
                      - Folder 1 -> Access to users
                      - Folder 2 -> Access to users
                      - Folder 3 -> Confidential Data beyond this point ( set CHMOD ) to disallow access to all files here to those who shouldnt have access

I've gone with this but instead using invalid users. Thank you!
