  • What about the ownership and permissions of the exfat file system? Maybe the remote user via Samba lacks some permissions. -- I'm using ssh for remote access, and I think it is easier to manage, but I hope that someone who knows Samba can help you. -- Otherwise, maybe, you can consider using ssh (install openssh-server in the remote computer) and some ssh client to connect from the local computer. In Windows you can use for example Filezilla or WinSCP.. Commented Jan 2, 2020 at 19:16
  • @sudodus The ownership of every file in exfat is root. I run 'chmod -Rf 777 /…/DIR' Commented Jan 2, 2020 at 19:39

    You can't change the ownership and permissions of directories and files in Linux using chown and chmod for Microsoft file systems. You must mount or remount with the correct ownership and permissions. See this link (and the link from it). Commented Jan 2, 2020 at 19:46

    You were right I guess I checked the ownership and permission of each files. The one that are located on the boot drive and the external drive. Both have different permissions. External: imgur.com/YSgvh9J Boot: imgur.com/UJ3BiOG - Now I mounted it the way it should be but it doesn't fix it: imgur.com/j5ta6I2. The problem remains. Commented Jan 3, 2020 at 1:10
