I have a 1TB drive, formatted as exfat, connected to a mini-pc running Ubuntu. It's plugged directly into an ethernet port on the router. Using it as a Plex media server. I am trying to copy files over to this drive from my MacBook Air running Sequoia 15.5.

When I drag and drop I just get the 'nope' circle. Copy/paste does not work, even though Finder shows I'm connected as my username.

I have done several modifications to fstab and smb.conf but nothing changes.

Any ideas how I can fix this *evidently* permissions issue?
 
This seems to be resolved, and I wish I could share what exact changes worked, but I'm not sure. Probably something from the 'shared drive' section of smb.conf:


Code:
[SharedDrive]
path = /mnt/mediafiles
browseable = yes
writable = yes
read only = no
guest ok = yes
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
