Hi guys and gals,

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

    Hi wifiuk,

     

    Try to reset the share permissions, set R/W and anonymous access of the affected folders or shares and see if that fixes the problem encountered. Steps are available here and check pages 34-35.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

     

    Kind regards,

  • Did 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?

        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.

      One of these is wrong (likely the first).  There is no Duo that runs OS 6. Can you provide your NAS model (possibly a RN102, RN202, RN212, RN312)

       

      How is the USB drive formatted?
