[SOLVED] unable to acces User share folders ..

[mani]

Hi everyone

 

I had to re install windows 7 - 64 bit on my desktop, because system was hanging uyp and had slowed down over last couple of months.  Unraid was working very well on the same desktop with same  hardware with same windows OS , but after I reformatted the main drive and re installed the windows , I can see the "tower" in my network and when I click on it I can see all the folders / shares in the tower. I can open the "Flash" folder and access the files , but I cant access any files in the user shares. I get the messgae that " you dont have permission to access \tower\backup etc . And to contact your network administratot . I am logged in as administrator. Both Tower and desktop are on same workgroups. I have turned off the password protected file sharing in windows. I turned off all firewalls. I can connect to ReadyNAS on same network on same work group without any problems and access all shares.

I also tried changing user chare option to local master , but it didnt help. The user share security is on "workgroup" . I am using version5 beta13

I also tried to map the user share a a local drive , but I get access denied notice.

I have changed the  worgroup names twice on  both the Tower and PC but doesnt make any difference. The only difference is that now I am using IE9 and previously I was using Internet Explorer 8 . I dont  know if that should make any difference?

 

Any help will be appreciated

 

Thanks

I am new to unRAID but from what I have been reading all it really is is a form of Linux all wrapped up neatly on a memory stick with base services  and the ease of creating a raid array etc etc. SO, what I am saying is that this is a basic problem and can easily be solve IF u had knowledge about user and group permissions BUT also If the folders are being shared onto your network with a certain protocol like SMB (samba) then you'll need to understand that as well. IF I was correct in assuming unRAID at its core is in fact the Linux kernel, then I can help. What I need to know is what the current permissions are on the shared folder as well as who the owner and group are.

Here is another strange thing I just noticed. I can write to all the shares. And whatever I write to these shares with the new desktop ( same desktop but after re installing same windows) , I am able to access. All the content in shares that was written before I re installed the windows is giving me the - permission denied  message???

Please any input???

 

When I right click in IE to see the properties of the folders in user shares- it says original owner not known and when I try to change owner to my current desktop name - it gives me access denied message. I guess I may have to change something in  Share config file???

Or, if running the newer beta versions of unRAID, run the "Permissions" utility.

running the new permissions utility solved the problem. I am good to go now
