Title: Require permission froom Unix\root to make changes
Post by: perfectdark on November 17, 2010, 01:22:47 PM

I cannot delete/rename/move 1 folder and sub-folder/files i see the below message in windows

You Require permission froom Unix\root to make changes to this file

I have set my dns-323 to factory default ... no change

I cannot get fun_plug to install (spent hours on this reading as it seems straight forward but doesn't load) and regardless why shoud i have to hack the dns to delete a file?


any other thouights on this?

Sounds like you've edited the permissions sothe box can't read them
(or did you change the samba authentication?)
eg: CHMOD  http://catcode.com/teachmod/chmod_cmd2.html

I haven't made any changes.

I have been trying to delete this file for weeks, today i did factory reset but still not able to delete.
I copied this file to Vol_1 and Vol_2 from my windows PC. I deleted the file on Vol_2 no problem but Vol_1 won't let me

Did you try the "Reset Network Access List Button"  in the web admin and rebooting?

If that doesn't work, use a freeware application such as Notepad++ to create a file named "fun_plug" in the root of Volume_1 with the following line:

Code: [Select]

chmod 777 "/mnt/HD_a2/path/to/file.ext"

Change /path/to/file.ext to where your file is within Volume_1.
Save the file in Unix format (LF line endings) and reboot the NAS.
Try to remove the file again. Then remove the fun_plug file you created.

I have no idea why file(s) created on the NAS should suddenly have incorrect permissions. All files created via SMB have full read-write access to any user defined on the NAS.

You don't need to load the full fun_plug created by Fonz (FFP), just create a single file named "fun_plug" as suggested.

In Notepad++, "Edit menu" > "EOL Converstion" > "UNIX Format"
