accessing folder over samba, folder ownership problem

    I'm using sshfs to connect to a remote folder over the net. When I do this it sets the owner of the folders to 501, which means I can't access that folder over samba (which is the reason I'm doing this).

    Can anyone suggest a way to make the folder accessible over samba?
    chown me folder doesn't do anything.

    I'm using Ubuntu btw.

    Are you accessing the folder over samba from a linux machine? If so try something like:

    mount -t smbfs -o username=whatever,uid=501 //server/share /mnt/point

    You could also try changing the umask of the user you're using to create the files. That will set the default file permissions for files created by that user. Once you figure out what your umask should be then you can put the command in the user's .bashrc file to ensure it is set each time that user logs in. umask 022 may be what you need. It will set the premissions up to be rw for the owner and r for everyone else.
