[Qgis-user] linux box accessing project-files on a windows server

[Patrick Dunford]

Hi,

the /run path in Linux shouldn't be used for file access as it is 
intended for use by applications, not by end users.

If you have a file share to access in Linux, mount it to a path in your 
home folder or perhaps off from /mnt and assign the permissions required 
to access it there.
