I've got a samba file server up to host files for my network. I've got basically two directories in it. One for sharing with the whole network and one to store private files on.
What I would like to do is have the directory for private files be invissible so you have to manually type the path in. And then have to enter a user id and password to gain access. Is this possibe and how do I do it?
I want to keep the other directory totolly open to all network PC's though at the same time.
right now by setting "browsable" to no I can make it invisible. But how do I set it up to ask for a user ID and password when I try to access it? And how do I create the user and password in samba config?
I've searched and searched and could find stuff. But I'm having a little bit of a hard time understanding a lot of it. I'm still pretty new to all this.
If you need me to post a copy of my smb.conf so you can better help me out or point me in the right direction let me know.
Thanks guys
