Share Accessible from FTP by all users after being Deleted

I have a Readynas Duo V1. with RAIDiator 4.1.9-T15.

I deleted a share a few weeks back. Well, I connected to my server from another user account from offsite, I noticed the share!? I noticed there was only

I did a few test today and sure enough, the share is accessible by all users. I tried to find it, but I cannot find it on the c drive at all...

1) Why is this share still showing and has content?

2) Why those the shave have no security?

3) How can I fix this?

4) Could I be compromised?

    And you nave not installed any add-ons that might explain it?

    If you make a backup, you could do a factory reset and restore the data.
  • no installs that should explain it... I have plenty of backups (on/offsite). I thought the backup would be the only way... I did a factory restore and restore of my data one time in the past...

    I am more gun shy this time around because I have a lot of critical data and do not desire a lot of down time and reconfigurating.

    If you do not mind, what would be the proper restore procedure. The only add-ons I want are the squeeze server and dlna. I need my shares(especially settings as they take a while to rebuild), users, groups, backup settings,... well, all settings.

    Thanks in advance.

    Well, since we have this unexplained vulnerability, the safest thing is to power down, remove the disks, connect them to a PC, and delete the partitions.

    Then put them back in the NAS, and start completely over. Install the add-ons, re-enter the configuration by hand, and then restore the data from backups.

    If you want to try the usual procedure, it would be:
    (a) save the configuration to your PC with frontview.
    (b) Do a factory default. You can do this using the Duo / NV / NV+ / X6/600 section here: http://www.readynas.com/kb/faq/boot/how ... _boot_menu, or by powering down, removing the disks, deleting the partitions in Windows, and putting them back in.
    (c) Then reinstall any add-ons
    (d) Restore the configuration from the previously saved config file

    At this point I would make sure the securitycams directory is gone.

    (e) restore the data from backup

    BTW, you could open a support ticket. They might be able to tell what happened, and have an easier way to clean it.
  • Thanks StephenB for your continued Help. I will mostly likely do your reccomendation in detail. I will also open a trouble ticket.
