ReadyNAS OS Rsync job permissions incorrect
We've set up a DR Rsync job to copy data on NAS1 to NAS2. We'd like to have the job running weekly but when the job runs, it copies the data but creates a completely bizzare (and very incorrect) set ...

Of course there are no NTFS permissions involved (since the NAS doesn't use the NTFS file system).
Have you looked at the btrfs file permissions with ssh?

Hi Stephen, thanks for your response.
What are the permissions I'm seeing when I browse to the shared folder (or any of the sub-folders) in Windows Explorer and view Properties > Security > Advanced? These don't match anything I can see when I connect to the NAS via the web console and look at the permissions set there in Network Access or File Access.
I cannot seem to connect to the NAS using SSH. When I enter the credentials in Putty, the window simply vanishes. SSH is deinately enabled on the NAS though...

I've managed to connect Putty using SSH now. What commands would I use to view the permissions?

I'm trying the command below to browse to the directory I want to check permissions on but when I enter the path, I get an error saying "No such file or directory exists".
cd /<share name>/
The directory does very much exist. I can browse to it and open files. For some reason, the command line will not see it.

Sussed it...
btrfs permissions on the subject share are:
drwxrwx---+ 1 administrator domain admins 172 Oct 30 07:56 <directory>
Sub-folders are the same.
