How do I hide two or more directories in smb.conf?

I configured smb.conf that works well for sharing a directory, say "samba directory", to my Windows 10 machine. Now I want to hide two sub-directories, e.g. subdir1 and subdir2 under "samba directory", so i added the following line in in smb.conf:

veto files = subdir1, subdir2

But it does not work and only subdir2 was hidden from Windows 10 machine.

When I changed it to veto files = subdir1, subdir1 was hidden well from windows 10 visiting. So, how to hide two directories from my Windows 10 machine? Thanks!

"veto files = subdir1, subdir2"

Wrong syntax. Try:

veto files = /subdir1/subdir2

From the man pages:

veto files (S)

       This is a list of files and directories that are neither visible

       nor accessible. Each entry in the list must be separated by a '/',

       which allows spaces to be included in the entry.
