The smb client running on your freebsd box is setup by default to offer all files as 755 permissions, but the samba client doesn't verify that it can offer those files to you so you may still not be able to read the files even though it looks like it in freebsd. Assuming the user you are access it as is account, make sure on the windows box that user account has permission to read the files. > > When I point a web browser (konqueror,MSIE) at the URL for this > particular mount point the contents of the share show up (http > directory listing) but I can't view any of the JPEG images.
