I have a folder in /var/www/html/ that people upload files to via PHP called store.

store has the permissions rwxrwxr-- it is owned by the user josh and the www-data group.

The store folder is also an SMB share and works if I use josh to login to it. However I need everyone to be able to access it but without write permissions as well.

This is what I have tried in my samba config:

[propellor]

path = /var/www/html/store

browsable = yes

guest ok = yes

read only = yes

write list = josh

create mask = 755

Mapping a network drive in Windows allows me to read and write if I use josh credentials but will not let me open the share at all if I am a guest or use another (Windows) user account.

I am missing something in my settings or permissions surly.

Thanks!
