Impossible to delete backup files placed on a share via RSYNC
I must be missing something in the permissions - hoping someone can help. Have been trying to set up a dual RN314 and RN202 system to create automated backups. RN314 is the primary file server. ...
I just solved the problem ... deleted that folder from the Admin page - share browse mode. Apparently its gone since it doesn't appear in the Mac Finder window either. Consider this a non-question for the community.
Hi rclementtx,
Which File-sharing protocol in MAC did you use AFP or SMB? Also, have you tried resetting the permission of the share, maybe it would help? Anyway, thanks for letting us know how you've had fixed your problem.
Kindly mark this thread solved.
Kind regards,

For the record, I've tried both AFP and SMB. Same result. Have reworked permissions on the share ad-nausium with the same result. Defaulted to the permissions above after extensive reading. Also tried the permission "reset" tab without luck. Seems like Mac Finder doesn't like files that were placed there by backup routines. I'm of the opinion that it's clearly a permissions issue, but I haven't found the right combo of keys to solve it from the Mac side.
I had another issue like this last night on a differnt situation -files created by Replicate. Tried to cleam them up with the same frustrations as today and ended up deleting the share and rebullding it.
Sure would be nice if we could find/post an elegant solution that works within the Mac Finder environment.
Thanks for reacting back.
