[tmp1]
path = /tmp/tmp1
allow hosts = 192.168.0.1
writeable = yes
read only = No

hi peter

if you are able to edit existing files and you can't able to create new file it means it is related to permision problem of the directory
try to change the directory permissions
example

# cd /tmp
# chmod -R 777 tmp1

it may work otherwise try to check the umask details .
