[SOLVED] phpstorm write issues in ./idea directory

Issue

When I try to save a file to disc within a project directory, I get this error:

java.io.IOException: W:\\[projectname]\\.idea not found

Some research tells me, the (network) location is not writable. I'm trying to write this file from phpstorm in windows 8. The drive (W:) is a network drive to a linux machine.

The directory I try to write to is chowned to the same user and group as I connect with in windows.

This is a result of ls -alh:

drwxrwxrwx  2 correct-user correct-user

Solution

In my samba settings I added a veto files parameter. Removing this parameter allows me to write dot files again.

Samba describes this setting as follows: This is a list of files and directories that are neither visible nor accessible
