[SOLVED] Can't write to a guest samba share via KDE's Dolphin

Hello.

I have a home server running Alma Linux with a guest samba share setup.
Windows users can write to it without issues, but when I connect to it from my Arch Linux desktop
through KDE's Dolphin, I can't write anything.

Access denied to smb://192.168.250.120/share/test.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I found this report on KDE bugs - https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=376344
but it was resolved 7 years ago, so, no way it's the issue.

Here's the smb.cfg:

# See smb.conf.example for a more detailed config file or
# read the smb.conf manpage.
# Run 'testparm' to verify the config is correct after
# you modified it.
#
# Note:
# SMB1 is disabled by default. This means clients without support for SMB2 or
# SMB3 are no longer able to connect to smbd (by default).

[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Samba Server %v
netbios name = MediaServer
security = user
map to guest = bad user
dns proxy = no

[share]
path = /home/share
browsable =yes
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
read only = no

Please, tell me how I can fix this. Thanks.

Do you have the same problem w/ a cifs mount or smbclient?
What are the paths ownership and permissions on the server?
What if you force the guest user? "only guest = yes"

Sorry for replying a month later, but I've set up a fresh server on NixOS and the issue with Dolphin wasn't there, so I guess it was a directory permissions issue.

Gonna mark as solved.
