To: ubuntu-users at lists.ubuntu.com

Hello. I store some files on a windows XP machine. The windows user
shared them with permission everyone full control.

 I'm on Ubuntu 10.04, and while being able to edit them all-right,
when I make new files, they have only me on the permissions list.
resulting in the windows user unable to open them...

 The files themselves are stored on the other machine, not on this one
, I get to it by smb://ip/.

What can I configure to fix it?

Possibly to make the files I create inherit the permissions of the
directory I'm making them in?

>>> $: chmod +rwx /file.txt
>>
>> This one allows everything for this file. For which user?

Thanks for the 777 explanation,
can you please reply to this question as well? ----^

I don't understand who exactly would be grated the read/write/whatever
access in this case.

A quick test shows:

cerdea at xango2:/tmp$ touch test
cerdea at xango2:/tmp$ ls -l test
cerdea at xango2:/tmp$ chmod +rwx test
cerdea at xango2:/tmp$ ls -l test
-rwxr-xr-x 1 cerdea cerdea 0 Jul 13 16:14 test
cerdea at xango2:/tmp$

Thanks so much for the replies so far.
However, as far as I see, this line adds me to permissions list for the file.
I doubt that I really need it, since I am able to open and read and
whatever with the shared files on that windows machine fine.

The issue is that the new files that I create do not have the other
Windows users of that machine on permissions list.
As far as I got, these lines do not do anything about users different from me.

Probably I don't understand something, if so please explain
 - and how do I allow the other Windows users to edit the files I
create on that shared location?
