Error : Duplicate file already exists ReadyNAS 102
Hi guys and gals,
For the last few weeks ive been getting the following error come up.
When ever i try to copy any file over to my NAS i get the following error.
Click on replace and it just sits like this.
When you delete files, it looks like its gone, but refresh and the file is back. I have full permissions on the folders. Nothing has changed my end. no updates.
I've logged into the admin web page and deleted it just comes back.
I've enabled SSH, delete the files and they just come back.
Any idea what i can do to fix this ? ReadyNas 102

- jcsdkx51AspirantDid the permissions fix work? I am having the same issue when copying items to the USB 3.0 drives connected to my ReadyNAS Duo. I tried adjusting the permissions and made sure the drives were not configured for "Read Only" without results. When copying a file to an empty folder I get the "file already exists" message even though the folder is new and empty. If I choose to skip or ignore the folder gets a 0kb file inserted named the same as the file I am trying to copy. I have an auto-parser that migrates files for me and it lacks the capability to override and replace the non-existant "ghost files". Any thoughts on a resolution?

what firmware are you running?

6.5.2,
Running Windows 10 Anniversary on the PCs that connect if that makes any difference, too.
The only thing that changed recently was the addition of a new router/gateway when we switched internet providers. But I don't get the transfer error when trying to move files to the NAS's internal folders, just moving from things to the USB3.0 drives.
