NVX can't copy file permission following f/w update 4.2.27
Hallo, Updated firmware to 4.2.27 on the ReadyNAS NVX. On release it was stated that: "This update includes an updated Bash to fix the "ShellShock" vulnerability amongst other changes". Prior to t...
Thanks Stephen for your input.
Indeed, the reason that I persevere with this is that I would much prefer to get the required operation from 4.2.27 rather than to downgrade to a less secure firmware.
Particularly as the downgrade is not an option - it cannot be done :-)
So I am told.
I would have thought though, that being a Super User and a member of Administrator Group is administrative enough for the task of copying...
The tests:
Running xcopy with all of the above switches as Super User fails within the machine (user folder C:\Users\ro\Favourites to c:\temp). And it is switches /O and /X that are responsible for the failure.
But xcopy works OK with all 5 switches (/O /X /E /H /K) when running command prompt as administrator.
Should I draw a conclusion that following the changes at receiver's end (NVX firmware), the intermediary (SmartSync) is now telling the sender (Win7 Super User) that it is not authorised to send some of the info (file permissions)?
If this was the case, I would have to have Admin logged in all the time for the purpose of running backups, as SmartSync does not have a place for inputting admin login credentials...
