Hello everyone.
I just setup an Unraid server and loving it so far. However, running into a few issues and wanted to see if someone could assist me or at least help me think about doing this a different way to achieve what I need.
The main point of the Unraid server was for storage. I had a 10TB drive as a second disk that got full so it made sense to move to Unraid for its obvious benefits. The storage is for backups for various applications (backups and config files basically).
The way I previously got these files was via a FTP server that has the FTP root directory on the original 10tb secondary disk. I have 3 primary folders for 3 different applications: Phone Backups, Phone Config, and Computer Backups. Each of these folders has a unique FTP username (Let's say user1, user2, and user3).
Since Unraid can easily do VMs, I decided to make an FTP server VM on Ubuntu 18.04. I added the FTP root/share to my /etc/fstab and am able to see that directory in my VM. I created the same usernames mentioned above on the VM. The problem now is I have is permissions. I got the FTP transfers working correctly, but then I am not able use SMB to copy/paste files.
I would prefer to be able to access both and I am not quite sure what to do. I have tried in the VM to add each FTP user to group users but have each FTP user own the folder. Messaged around some in unraid via ssh as well.
I guess I am not to familiar with how the VM mount permissions works with the unraid permissions and if its even possible for me to do what I need it to do. I have a consolidation program for the computer backups that needs R/W access via the SMB side, but I need the FTP server to be able to upload files to the storage array. This is where permissions are getting screwed up.
Any suggestions is much appreciated!
