Ok, i have a VBS file that uses a command-line telnet program to do certain things on my server.

 

One function is i can drag a folder from a specific location and it will shoot a telnet command at my server to run a copy (cp) command.

 

I have recently update to 5-RC2/3 and i appear to need to run the fix permissions script to be able to access them when i copy.

 

Should i be using a different command? or is there a switch/option to set the permissions as a copy?

 

The command im using at the moment is "cp -r Folderpath Destination"

 

(before you ask, the idea is to move files/folders internally without having to transfer them across my network...sometimes many GB and that would suck over wireless!)

I use Midnight Commander, "mc" at the telnet prompt and it will keep all attributes when moving files

I just used midnight commander to transfer files from disk1 to disk2 on my unRAID however now when I go to access the contents on disk2 it says I don't have permission.  Any idea why that would be?

Yes... that is because you most probably logged on with a root account... After you copy files with MC you need to run the permissions script... Alternatively you should copy over windows, then this will not be necessary..

 

Personally I have made two cron jobs that run the permissions on a weekly basis over all my files and on one dir I move around a lot in every day ..

Yeah that's what it was.  I went to the new permissions page and ran that script and it worked perfectly.  Thanks for the advice.
