SOLVED..... Pulled the USB again but this time used an adjacent USB connection. Communication restored. Strange, but solved the issue.

Setup a new server (second server) running 6.2.4 and unable to get the UPS set up correctly. Have read the posts above and a few others. Not able to resolve. Initially sees the APC UPS and then "lost communication." I had the NUT plugin (deprecated and current) installed for a brief time but wanted to stick with the APCUPSD instead. Attached is a screen shot of the details and the log. Any help solving would be appreciated.... UPS Log.txt

Update.... OK, tried a few other things this AM in addition to doing research on using Midnight Commander in preparation to move files. As I mentioned previously, I added a new laptop to the mix recently that I just purchased. The laptop had obviously never been on my network before and never been mapped to the unRAID server and still WAS NOT able to navigate to a few sub-directories in various shares while successfully being being mapped to the various network drives that each of the shares reside in. Previously, I used my main desktop PC to manage the unRAID, move / add files on the server, etc. The access issues on the laptop are IDENTICAL to the access issues on the PC (same identical sub-directories are impacted on the laptop and on the desktop PC.) This AM, I booted up XBMC / KODI which I have installed and running on a Raspberry Pi (not used for a while) and decided to try and navigate to the media files in one of the impacted sub-directories. I was able to not only navigate to the file location, but also play the video files in the sub-directory (Video Specials.) At this point, it seems obvious that the issue doesn't reside with the unRAID. Further, I recently re-imaged a desktop PC that my wife and kids use in the kitchen that was running slow. After I experimented with KODI / Raspberry Pi, I decided to try and map the desktop in the kitchen to the shares and the specific sub-directories that I couldn't navigate to on the affected devices. Not only was I able to navigate to the affected sub-directories, but I could also see the files within the directories. Previously, I never had a need to map this device to the server. UnRAID can't be the cause of the issue here. Can it? To your point in a previous post, am I correct to assume that the problem appears to be a credential issue on the affected devices? What I don't understand is why the new laptop which was just recently introduced on the network and had never been mapped to the unRAID has the identical access issues as the primary desktop which had been used to manage the unRAID and add / move files in the past? I haven't needed to manage credentials on devices in the past, but when I opened Control Panel, Manage Credentials on both the laptop and the primary desktop, I didn't see any existing credentials for the unRAID / Tower. Is it possible that I missed them and not looking in the correct spot? Or is this a different issue? Thoughts?

I don't believe so... This is what I have set up as far as I can tell.

Here is the last one...

Ran the check on the file system for each of the 3 data disks. I've attached the results. From what I can tell, no issues found. I'm assuming that I can't run a check on the parity disk? Any other thoughts before I check into the Midnight Commander option?

Got it. Will research the Wiki. Is there a way for me to access / move the files without going through windows explorer? On the command line?

Thanks for your help. I believe at least some of the files are on disk 2. Without sounding too ignorant, how do I check the file system for that disk?

Additional screen captures

All shares are public. The files created in one of the sub-directories impacted are video files that were created on the primary PC that I used to manage the unRAID server. If I'm not mistaken, I created the shares under the share, add share screen in unRAID. It has been a few years since I built the server and was more intimate with the more technical side of the system. Other than the permission / access issue this set up has been running flawlessly. I've included a few screen shots of what I'm up against. Appreciate your help

Never did resolve the issue of accessing select sub-directories. I had left this alone for a while but now need to access the files stored in the sub-directories on these shares. Have tried the ideas suggested in the replies to this topic but I can't get this to work. I've since purchased a few new laptops, etc. so i don't think there is a correlation to the credentials on the devices as I just mapped one of the devices today and the access is identical to the other PC's. We have some essential family docs that I need to access in addition to movies, etc.. I know the files are still there because I can see them when I search the shares in unRAID. There are only a few sub-directories that aren't acceptable. All of the network drives are accessible, it is just a few sub directories within the drives that are restricted. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

It's been quite a while since I've been on the forums. My unRAID ver. 5.0 rc8a has been running flawlessly. I mainly use the use the setup for all of the media I run on KODI and backups / images from all of the PC's and laptop's in the house. I've been getting the following error on 3-4 subdirectories ONLY, which appears to have just started recently for some unknown reason. "You do not have permission to access the file "\\tower\media\TV Shows\Full House" (see attached.) I've gone in to check / reset the permissions on those folders but I'm unable to make any changes. All of the typical changes to allow permission are not working. Access to all of the remaining sub folders have not been impacted. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Thanks for the help! Everything is working exactly the way I wanted. Cheers

That seems to have done the trick. All shares a able to read / play media files from the shares. Only remaining snag is that I'm not being prompted for a password from the PC that I intend to manage the share content from. When I try to add / delete from the share it get a permissions error. I'm sure it's straight forward, but how do I setup a prompt for the password? I happen to be running Vista on the device that most of the content management will take place on. Will read through the last link you provided as well. Thanks

OK, So I've setup the following: (see attached) Will this setup provide "read only" access to every who is mapped to the share and "read / write" access to "admin" only?

I think this can be done my setting access to read only and have "admin" as an exception?

Thanks trurl. Will try it again and ref the restrictions in your post. OK - Well that was it for setting up a new user. Good call! I would like to keep the access very simple and avoid the need to create user names and passwords except for the one I've set up for myself. I read in a couple of threads a setup where the shares were visible and readable by all users but could only be read and written to by one user (in this case myself) I've attached a screen shot of my new user "admin" and would like any other device / uer that is mapped to the share to find and read the contents but not be able to modify (write). What is the simple way to accomplish? Ideally, no other device / user would need to enter any username or password to use the contents of the share (movies, music, pictures, etc..)

Thanks trurl. Will try it again and ref the restrictions in your post.

For some reason really struggling with this one. I'm running 5.0-rc8a Server Plus. Have been all over the forums and found quite a number of threads on how to accomplish what I want, but none seem to match what I see when logged into the GUI. Many of the threads seem to point to how this is done in previous version of unRAID. Here is the ask in it's most basic form: I have XBMC for HTPC front end on 3 raspberry Pi's and a couple of Windows PC's I would like to make a number of my shares "read only" and create a user with password protection (myself) to manage the content of the shares (adding or deleting files) from a number of PC's where I have mapped the shares How do I do this in 5.0-rc8a? I have the following shares set up in unRAID Media Music Photos PC Backup Videos (Family) I've attached a screen capture for the options I see for restricting access. I also tried to set up a new user (myself.) I was able to input my information including user name and password and hit apply, but I never see the user listed?? Can someone walk me through the directions? Sorry for the noob level detail. This seems like it should be a simple setup, but I must be missing something. Thanks

FYI - I thought I would try and map the user shares over to the Vista device just to check to see if there was an issue mapping - they all mapped without issue.

Aviator is the name / profile on the router. All of the devices on my home network are connected to this same router. I hadn't thought of that causing the problem, but perhaps is contributing?? I can see the other other Win 7 devices (two) and my Vista device on etiher the Win 7 boxes and / or the Vista box. have never been able to see the XP devices in the "Network" tab of Windows but have set up folder shares on these in the past with the same Vista / Win 7 boxes.

I believe those are the steps to make changes in Win 7 as the menues appear to be similar but a little diff in Vista. I check / verified the settings on the Win 7 devices and they match what you have posted. The access seems a little different in Vista. I can make all the necessary changes in Vista with the exception of 'Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections' which I can't seem to locate in Vista. Attached are some screen shots of what I'm seeing in Vista re: getting access to view / change 'Allow Windows to manage homegroup connections.' I still can't see the unRAID server on any of the devices including the Win 7 devices or Vista device. Thanks for your help on this - I'm sure it must be frustrating
