July 20, 201213 yr I've got a lot of random files that are complaining about permissions issues when i'm trying to use them in my media player, or rename them in windows explorer. I was thinking of just chmod the entire video share to 777 to fix all of them at once, but I've read that 777 is a big security risk. Is it something to be concerned about, should I be using 755 instead?
July 20, 201213 yr Author Thank you. It took a couple of minutes and seems to have resolved the issue on the few files I've tested.
July 20, 201213 yr How does one change those folder level settings? I'm familiar with how to do it on FTP, but where do I see the 777 or 755 permission level options in unraid? Iask because I'm having some permission issues as well with unraid 4.7 and looking for all options I can try.

Enter "newperms /mnt/user/'video share'" on the console or telnet (putty). changing "video share" in that command to the name of the folder I want to change the settings on? Or to the disk level folder, eg: disk1, disk2, disk3, disk4, disk5, etc.?
July 20, 201213 yr Author change it to the name of the share, or a sub-folder of the share For me, i wanted to do the whole video share folder so i entered /mnt/user/video but you could do /mnt/user/video/TV if you wanted to be more specific. I would guess you could do actual disks also, but considering unRAID spreads your files across all disks (unless you change that behavior), going by disk seems a bad plan

July 21, 201213 yr Alright - I guess I'm not quite getting it. Looking in windows explorer (win7): the folder I want to try this on is called "Junkyard_Dog". The full path is my network placed is: \\UNRAID\unraid\Junkyard_Dog I tried this and got "bad command" in a telnet putty session: /mnt/user/unraid/Junkyard_Dog Is my syntax off?
July 21, 201213 yr Yes. It is off. You are only entering half the command. You forgot to type newperms newperms /mnt/user/unraid/Junkyard_Dog
July 21, 201213 yr I do newperms /mnt/user/unraid/Junkyard_Dog and get: -bash: newperms: command not found
July 21, 201213 yr I do newperms /mnt/user/unraid/Junkyard_Dog and get: -bash: newperms: command not found You said you were using unRAID 4.7 correct? If so then maybe the "newperms" isn't available in 4.7. I don't actually know but it looked like they were missing that from the posts.
