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!
Thank you!
