Samba Server Folder Access not Permitted

Solution 1:

This is not just a permissions error, but a very specific permissions error.

The smb protocol does not support multiple credentials on the same connection from a client. You have another share from the same server on the local client that is using different credentials than the one you just tried to make.

Your options to resolve this are:

  • Determine what the first share is, and connect to the second one using the same credentials
  • Follow the directions in the error, and disconnect the first share before attempting to connect the second share with the supplied (or default) credentials
  • If you really must connect a client to multiple shares on a server under different credentials, sometimes you can get away with pretending it is multiple servers by connecting to different hostnames for the same server. This option is not always available, and doesn't always work.
