July 4, 20251 yr I think that this topic has been addressed in the past, but I cannot find to solution. I am trying to copy files to some of the Secured shares on unRaid from a Win 11 Pro machine. (Public shares no problem). From one of the PCs on the same network I can do anything. However, from another, using the same credentialling, I am getting "Destination Folder Access Denied", and "You need permission to perform this action" error. I tried deleting the credentialing from Credentialing Manager, still the same error. In the past I was able to do all of these actions, copy, delete, rename,... from this PC that I can no longer perform now. Any suggestions?Thanks,Lev
July 4, 20251 yr Community Expert when you say explorer do yo mean windows file explorer?"Modify files in unRaid from Explorer"Unraid has a users tab you may need to make a user there and assign a passowrd and when windows ask for credentials use that account.You may also need to set file and user permission of files on unraid...Fix file permissioncd /mnt/users/Path to the share...chmod 777 -R *chown nobody:users -R *

Copying or trying to modify files in the unRaid share is disallowed on one of my PCs but allowed from a different Win 11 PC, even though I am logged in with the same credentials on both.I already ran through the unRaid "Docker Safe New Perms" and "New Permissions" tools. So, it must be something unique to one of my PCs rather than the server, correct?

Then start the GUI terminal--- the icon on the right side of the task bar.Now, connect to the share that you are having problems with. Then, use Windows File Explorer navigate to the share in question. Then run the following command in the GUI Terminal:smbstatusPost up a screenshot of the output.Also, post up the Diagnostics file from your server. Provide the 'user name' that you are using for SMB access and the IP address of your Windows computer .

('nobody' is the default user name that Unraid assigns to all guests.) The IP address for the Windows client is 192.168.1.44. Does this agree with what is shown in Settings >>> Network & internet >>> PropertiesOf the three shares shown, one of them is 'Public' and the other two are 'Secure'.To allow guest connections, Unraid has set the Samba parameter map to guest = Bad User and you can read below what this means.I don't know exactly where your problem is at this point. It appears that your user name for this client does not match what is on your Unraid server which will cause the client to be logged on using a guest account.I refer to this post and the next one to setup your user for this client on both the client and the server:https://forums.unraid.net/topic/191221-some-musings-on-smb-and-samba-and-unraid-and-windows/#findComment-1561582 Edited July 5, 20251 yr by Frank1940

You will see that the user name should be all small letters, no capital letters.I am logged in as "lev", but how do I make sure that I use the correct credentials, or re-login with the correct user/password combo?How di disconnect as a "nobody" and connect as "lev"? Edited July 5, 20251 yr by levster
July 5, 20251 yr Author Solution I think that I figured it out. I checked the net use on my local PC and removed all active connections. Then I connected to unRaid with the correct credentials and this time it accepted it. Now smbstatus shows correct user.Thank you!Lev
July 5, 20251 yr Community Expert 6 hours ago, levster said:how do I make sure that I use the correct credentials,Set up a Windows Credential on each Windows client computer as shown here:https://forums.unraid.net/topic/191221-some-musings-on-smb-and-samba-and-unraid-and-windows/#findComment-1561582That will automatically log you on using that credential. (Since you have at least one Share that is 'Public', if you first look at that share, you will be automatically logged in as a 'guest' unless you have a Credential. You can read that entire thread to gain an understanding of the SMB/Samba interaction. As you have found, logging off the Server is difficult. A restart of the Windows client will also work.)
