Topic: FTP and a Mounted Directory

[Terry Brummell]

I have a samba mounted directory on a Windows 2000 machine I wish to be writeable via FTP on the server.  I've created an ibay, appropriate permissions, everything there is fine.  The share is writeable via Windows Explorer, but when using FTP I get permission denied.  Doing some investigating I found this:  When the path is unmounted it's properties on the server are:

drwxr-sr-x    2 root     www          4096 Jul 13 10:38 my_2k_share

Once the path is mounted it changes:

drwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          512 Nov 21 17:07 my_2K_share

I suspect this is why I'm getting permission denied.  
My question is, when mounting via samba is there any way to have it not change the ownership of the device?

PS-what is the significance of the "2" and the "1" in those lines?  That's the 1st time I noticed them...
