Permission on files in subfolders
Hi, hope someone can help...I am a newbie when it comes to servers.
I have a ReadyNAS NV+ v2, running latest firmware. I am using transmission to download torrents and have set up a folder called download, with the subfolders - Sources, Incomplete and Complete. At this point everything works fine. Transmission moves completed files from incomplete folder to complete folder.
I use a program called Mediabrowser 3 to display my tv/movies, and they have an option to rename and move the tv episode to the correct folder on my NAS.
My problem is that I keep getting access denied on the TV episodes. I go into dashboard and reset permissions on files and folders and that works until a new video is added to the complete folder, I have to go and reset the permissions again.
Is there a way round this, so I don't have to keep resetting the permissions all time?
Hope this makes sense, and thanks for any help you can give me

- Select the share, go to share access and protocol-specific settings panel of SMB, and enable "Automatic permissions" and set Folder creation Group/Everyone Rights and Files creation Group/Everyone Rights all to Read/Write.
Then reset permissions for the share. - The share is already set up this way
- Right, so Mediabrowser is getting the access denied?
Does the PC on which Mediabrowser runs have a user and password that matches the owner of the share on the NAS?
Also is Mediabrowser trying to access the files directly on the NAS or through a mapped drive?
Have you played around with windows permissions on the folders? - Yes, mediabrowser is getting access denied, until I select reset permissions under files and folders, then it accesses the files fine.
Is the owner of the share login the same as the login I use to login to the dashboard?
Mediabrowser is directly access the files.
Don't know anything about windows permissions?
I have several shares that mediabrowser has access to, and the rest are fine. The only difference I can see is that in the download folder, subfolders are sometimes created by the torrents - The owner of the share should be listed under share properties?
I'm not sure what's going on, it may be that transmission is setting the wrong permissions for new files. I don't know much about transmission, are there any settings you can change? - May have found something in transmission. There is a setting called unmask. It was set to 18, but I have changed it to 0.
Will have to wait for my next torrent to download and see if it works
Changing unmask to 0 fixed it. Thanks for your help anyway
