Hi All,

I am able to configure samba for LAN sharing.

At the same time I also need to secure the backup directory of each user

1. Not accessible to users over File Explorer (\\server\userBAKUPdirectory)

2. I am using FileSync to update (auto-update) over LAN to backup /
update the user data.

I dont want individual users to see / access their own Backup
directory, but FileSync software keeps working to backup / update the
data without any issues.

Below is the user share settings :-

[operationsBAK]
path = /home/operations/operationsBAK
valid users = operations
read only = no
browseable = no



Thank you

Nitin
