I am having trouble regularly removing files from my box due to permission denied on my Mac.  I have completed the following:

 

1.  I have used the Unraid permissions utility on all files;

 

2. I have used the telnet command newperms /mnt/user/whatever/your/file/path/is/ to correct permissions

 

but I still am unable to delete the odd file. 

 

Can someone educate me as to why this happens?

To delete a file requires that you have write access to the directory containing the file, not the file itself.

 

So maybe you need to run newperms on the directory containg the file and not just the file ..... Note that this will also change the permissions on any files or directories within the specified directory.

Tried that...

Show the output of ls -al. Run the command on all level of the file path. Show a screen shot of the share config.

root@Tower:~# ls -al

total 16

drwx--x---  2 root root    0 2013-03-23 16:53 ./

drwxr-xr-x 16 root root    0 2013-06-04 18:33 ../

-rw-r--r--  1 root root  51 2013-03-23 16:53 .bash_profile

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  26 2013-03-23 16:53 initconfig -> /usr/local/sbin/initconfig*

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  171 2013-03-23 16:53 mdcmd*

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root  18 2013-03-23 16:53 samba -> /etc/rc.d/rc.samba*

Enter

ls -ls /mnt/user/whatever/your/file/path/is/
ls -ls /mnt/user/whatever/your/file/path
ls -ls /mnt/user/whatever/your/file/
ls -ls /mnt/user/whatever/

 

Show the share configuration for the share where the file resides, e.g., click on Movies.
