Network accessibility

Hi guys, I'm fairly new to the pi - I have a pi 3. I have mounted external hard drives but now I want to be able to access those with a nice GUI via my laptop. I can also SSH into the Pi without a problem. I currently have the Pi connected to a Windows network setup on one of my laptops, but I want ...

Re: Write permissions for external HDD

Hi guys,

I'm still having trouble with this - everytime I change fstab it stops the pi from booting up until I remove the line.

Can anyone offer any help?

I'm using a pi3 and Raspbian Jessie.

Thanks!
Sandra

Write permissions for external HDD

Hi guys,

I'm very new to the Pi.

I have a Pi 3 running Raspbian Jessie.
I can see the drive at /media/pi/[my drive name] but I can't create a folder and I've tried to chown to 775 and 777. Neither worked.

I'm logged into terminal as pi.

Any help you can offer would be gratefully received. :)
