(No) Permission in share folder (albeit admin !!)

Postby luladude » Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:17 am

Hi there

can't del a file from win7 client (that access hda as admin) on a share that have full permissions (!?)
the share is where transmission saves files. when i try do delete a file it says " no permissions from unix / transmission"
i can create a folder or file from client, but can't delete.
also on eXtplorer (as admin) I can't edit or erase files in that share (/var/hda/files/torrents)

any clue?
thanks in advance!!

Recommend you check file permissions and ownership of the folder/files.

Shares are owned by the first admin user typically, although on occasion it might be apache:users. Permissions should be 775 at a minimum for read/write access.

thanks bigfoot

i assume by your answer that i should confirm permissions on the shares settings in share tab dashboard, right?
nevertheless the admin and the 1 user have all access to all shares.

what do u mean with "permissions should be 775"?

i have notice that in eXtplore, that share have in the perm colunm: 664 (rw-r--r--)

once again thanks in advance

2 more things:

in eXtplorer the torrent folder/share has permissions: 777,and the other shares are 775.
the files and folders within torrent share have 664.

in ajaXplorer I simply can't find torrents share...

hope this can be useful

All shares should have 775 or greater permissions. To change the folders that are 644, do this as root user in terminal:

chmod -R 775 foldername

The torrents share is in /var/hda/files typically and may be called torrents or utorrent. Once you change the permissions of all files/folders there you problems should be over.

Hope this helps.
