File/Folder Permission Issue - Intermitant
Hi
I have ReadyNAs Pro 6 running RAIDiator 4.2.28. It's access by a Mac, Unbutu, PCs running XP, Windows 7 and Now Windows 10 respectively.
I'm having intermitant file and folder access issues. Specifically, an in ability to move, copy or create new folders within sub-directorys 2+ levels down from the home share. What is strange it is only certain folders, and yet they all have the same persmissions. Read/Write Access, Everyone. The error I get is 'Access Denied you do not have the permissions to complete this action"
SO, not only does this happend only on random subfolders, but it also does not happen consistently from machine to machine. Some days the problem is solved by me using a Windows 7 machine rather than a Windows 10 and vice versa. Both machines have mapped drives to the ReadyNAS. Yet, if I access via the network 'C' folder no issues what so ever. Curious.
I have reset the permissions, deleted and remapped the drives,added specific host access, opened guest access. I've run out of ideas. I'm not especially technical so please be gentle.:)
Thank you all in advance.
Cheers
PS wanted to send a screen shot but as luck would have it it started working a few mins ago!!

Do you have multiple user accounts on the NAS? It is likely that some of the files or folders have different owners, which does affect what other users can do.
Have you tried resetting the owner/group from the "advanced" tab for the share?
Also, is this happening in one of the built-in shares, or one that you created yourself?
Hi StephanB
Thanks for your response. All of the folders are ones I created. I did try changing the permissions by they just reset. I have also tried turn it off turn it on again. This sometimes helps.
It's hard for me to test any other ideas as the damm things is working perfectly at the moment. I hate intermittant faults.
