(null) folders shown in networked media players
Hi, I recently purchased the ReadyNAS Pro, and I've been fairly happy with it thus far. I have had some problems with permissions and access denied issues, which I have been able to fix. But, o...
I believe that this problem is due to incorrect permissions. One thing that I found is when you "Set ownership and permission for files and folders..." in the Advanced Options tab of the shares from FV, it tends to remove child subdirectory permissions. This leads to the access denied problems. Additionally, trying to reset permissions through Explorer, while including child objects, typically does not have the expected behavior, as not all child objects will be set with the specified permissions.
The most reliable way to set the permissions of the folder and all subfolders is to use 'cacls' from the command line.
You can change Everyone to another user, but as the user list that the ReadyNAS uses is different from your PC's users, it's the choice with the least headaches. I hope that helps.

- Map the ReadyNAS folder of interest.
- Open a command window.
- Run: "cacls <drive>: /T /G Everyone:F"
