NTFS file permissions
Hi Guys, I have a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 Plus running RAIDiator 4.2.16. I'm using windows 7. Everything was working fine until recently. I had an old backup disk, NTFS formatted, from a computer...
Read in my sig below on how to make a nas completely open. It will also show you how to change the permissions via frontview. Using ssh or windows 7 to change the permissions on the files will get you in hot water. I generally use frontview to do the changes and afterwards if I want to tweak the permission I use chmod.
I would also recommend creating a user and use that instead of admin as admin is not subject to the same restrictions as a regular user when copying files over.
Also you can use the frontview>backup via nfs or rsync and as part of the backup have the nas change the permissions of the files you copy over to the permissions of the share you are copying it to.
Yeah I know its automated stuff and you are a unix user :)
