Hello All,
I have a DNS-321 and I have had so many issues with folder permissions I am about to throw this thing out the window.  It seems like every other day a variety of my folders are locked out to me, while others are available.  Whenever I change anything in the configuration, I get locked out. I hate it.

Are there any alternatives to the standard firmware? I had read about fun_plug, and I seem to have a general understanding of it, but all I am interested in fixing my permissions... Is there a fun_plug feature that over-rides permissions? I would even settle for NO restricted permissions, but I can't even get that to work out.  Any and all advice is welcome, thank you!

Reset to factory defaults, you'll have no permissions anywhere, it'll be wide open.

[wayd]

Yeah, but even when I do that, all of the folders I created when I DID have permissions are still locked to me! I don't know if this is a Mac thing or a DNS-321 thing, but I am pretty sure its a DNS thing because when i structure my Network Users and Permissions back to what they were when i created the folder, they unlock to me. Its really getting old.

[gunrunnerjohn]

This may be a case where you'll have to install fun_plug and use Linux to set the permissions on the whole folder tree.

[wayd]

I don't have a Linux system...

I don't have a Linux system...

Sure you do, it's called the DNS-321.

[wayd]

ha-ha, I never thought of it that way.

So my primary computer is a Macbook Pro running the latest OS. Does that matter when using fun_plug?

You're saying that I can use fun_plug and modify each folder's access rights? 

Are there not different versions of "fun_plug", which do different things?  Can someone please tell me where to get the version I am looking for to do this?

Thanks for the help guys. I just wish there was better technical support/development for this product so we didn't have these problems... I can tell you one thing, this will be the last D-Link product I buy for quite some time.

fun_plug is independent of what you run on your machine.

Here's the installation instructions, all you need is in the basic package: http://wiki.dns323.info/howto:ffp

I can't make any sense out of the DNS web interface permissions screen.

Using fun_plug to enable ssh access to the DNS is a pretty cool deal.  I log into the DNS and can set read only permissions on files and directories.  Then these files/directories are really read only... can't overwrite them or delete them from the regular network interface.

(And I realize that this is not a substitute for a real backup, even on my raid-1 setup.)

I can't get this to load... I put "fun_plug" and "fun_plug.tgz" in volume 1 and reboot... nothing happens...

[gunrunnerjohn]

Remove them, reboot, then try downloading a new copy.  Do not edit or modify either file with Windows, just copy them to the root of Volume_1

[wayd]

Thanks! Ok, so I believe they are loaded there now. But I cannot use "Putty" with my Mac, and the instructions for setting up the SSH are for using Windows and Putty. Does anyone have instructions for Macs?

[gunrunnerjohn]

I'm at a loss here.  Other than getting into Telnet for the first time, what is Windows dependent?  You don't have to use SSH if that's a problem, you can just continue to use Telnet.

[wayd]

The instructions I have to getting into Telnet are for a Window's program called "Putty". How do I get into Telnet with a Mac?

[wayd]

Ok, so I figured out how to do it on Terminal... I need to enter "telnet [ip] [port]" and the default port for telnet is 23. but I am not connecting... Do I use the DNS-321 ip address and port 23? How do I confirm both of these numbers?

Thank you!
