Add symbolic links to storage folder
You may need to share folders located in different users home directories. It is possible to create a symbolic link to achieve this.
For example I have my stuff in /home/asqu/data
I want to make the contents of /home/asqu/data/documents available to my storage folder without moving it, so remote users who have access to my share through PPTP VPN can add stuff there.
I don't want them to access all the contents of my whole home folder.
First edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following lines:
[global] unix extensions=no
[storage]follow symlinks=yes wide links=yes
Now restart Samba:
service samba restart
Now create the symbolic link:
cd /home/storage ln -s /home/asqu/data/documents
Now from Windows, go into the storage folder and access documents, create a file and go back to /home/asqu/data/documents in your shell and verify that the created file is there.
You may replace "asqu" with your username.
