Managing Files in Mapped Drives

Hello all,

 

I've managed to map network drives to my ReadyNAS 204 on my local PC, but I'm unable to delete or cut the files from the map drive.  When I go into the security for the share on the ReadyNAS I can only see how to give Read/Write permissions.  Is there a way I can give Full Access so I can manage the files on my local PC without logging into the NAS interface?

  • Write permission implies delete permission.\\

    What credentials are you using on the PC to access the NAS?

     

    Are your permissions set per the two screen shots below?

  • I had default options set up but copied yours here in the screenshot, however I still can't delete files from the share using my local pc. I'm setting up the mail drive as I would any map drive.... I go to map drive, type in the UNC, make sure reconnect is chosen and hit finish. I can add folders and delete files I make. The files I want to delete, however, are coming from an app called Sabnzbd putting them on the share one downloaded. I'm thinking that has something to do with it though.

        Thank you, Brian. That thread was indeed able to help me out.  Turns out it was Sabnzbd after all.
