The solution for this problem ( copied from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=678834#20 ):
The filesystem permissions of a fully publicly shared directory (i.e. ~/Public) has to be drwxrwsrwx. chmod a+rwx ~/public chmod g+s ~/public And /etc/samba/smb.conf has to contain the line inherit permissions = yes in the [global] section. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus-share in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/268663 Title: files incoming through nautilus-share should be created with user ownership, instead of "nobody" Status in nautilus-share: Fix Released Status in samba: Won't Fix Status in nautilus-share package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in samba package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus-share Steps to reproduce 1- Create a usershare with nautilus (say, ~/Public) 2- From another computer, send a file to this share The file will have ownership to user "nobody" and group "nogroup", instead of the userś ownership and starting group. This makes it inconvenient to modify these files, especially since there's no easy way to change ownership of files and folders (one has to know about the nautilus-gksu package, which is not installed by default).
