Hello NAS-SAN-NAS,

Are you disabling and re-enabling the FTP on the admin page's list of shares where you can change permissions? If so, do you get the same error message when you enable FTP on another share? If it does not give the error message, please try accessing it via FTP too. You can also move the files to another share that has no problem with FTP.

Regards,

Thank you JennC

for your hint to look under the shares -->settings - but unfortunately no successs

Are you disabling and re-enabling the FTP on the admin page's list of shares where you can change permissions?

No until your hint I only tried under System-->Settings-Services
Error:
Service operation failed
Unable to start or modify service
Code 15002030001

But, trying under shares gives also an error for Shares-->documents-->settings-->network access AFP on/off
Error:
Folder operation failed
1002030001
Commit failed

If so, do you get the same error message when you enable FTP on another share?

I also tried FTP (on/off) on another share than "Documents" - tried it on "Music" --> but unfortunately the same error.

Error:

Service operation failed

Unable to start or modify service

Code 15002030001

Thank you for thinking along - even if this doesn't give the solution - any further ideas to save my data and re-enabling AFP Service?

Yours NAS-SAN-NAS

(BTW - for me AFP is the Service in question as I need it in a MacOS Environment - so hope you didn't get me wrong - FTP is not the protocoll that I need to work)

Hello NAS-SAN-NAS,

I guess this is something that can be fixed from the backend.

I checked your profile and found that you have a lifetime CHAT support for your ReadyNAS 316. I suggest you try contacting them so they can assist you further in getting one of the L3 support people to remote in.

  I am having the same problem with enabling AFP service to use with my Mac's at home. Did you ever get resolution to this?
  
  Any insight would be appreciated!
