File Access denied when a file moved
Hi,
I made a sub folder on NAS share folder, then I created some file in there. and I moved the file to top of share folder.
Then I access that file, it said access denied.. even I used same user account.
So I checked the folder option on my XP, the 'simple file sharing' is checked.
so I uncheck that option then issue disappeared.
I found other way to solve this issue.
Go to frontview - advanced option, change the share folder owner and group to 'root' then it also solve problem.
But in default, when user create share folder on frontview, the share folder owner is share folder name and share folder group is 'nobody' so I think it could be issue on some environments.
Anyway I wonder that should I uncheck the 'Simple file sharing' option on PC for use NAS without permission issue?
Thanks.

FWIW - when I used XP in the past, extensively both at home and for business, I could never get networking to work properly with that option enabled and disabling it was always one of the many things I'd do when making a new XP install.
So - yes, I'd recommend you disable it given it appears to resolve your issue- Thanks for the reply.
So you mean this issue is not the NAS(samba) issue?
I confused that which one cause this permission issue between NAS and OS.
I tested it on 4.2.15 and then it had no problem. - I only addressed the question re. turning off Simple File Sharing - as to root cause, I've no idea.
- Thanks, Changing Share folder owner and Share folder group to 'root' solved all my problems on my pro's.
