OK, I think that my previous problems were due to /home/ricardo not having the correct permissions. What is the easiest way to set up a shared dir on a linux box? where should I put it... in /home/ or /usr/share/ . If I want it available for all users to read/write to, what permissions do I need? They shouldn't need to execute programs from it, but must be able to play .avi and .mp3s from it.
This dir should be available to local users running linux, as well as Windoze users over the network.
TIA Ricardo
