nobody user permissions


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I'm trying to move files from one share to another and I an error "File Access Denied" saying I need nobody permission to make changes to files.

 

I moved the files from external hdd using the midnight command.

 

I tried running the fix permission utility with no luck.

 

Do I need to set the permission manually every time I mount a USB drive?

 

I'm using unRAID 5.0.4

 

Thanks

Okay at a pc now:

Use chown to change the users to nobody

chown nobody:users file.name

Add -R if it is a directory and you want it to apply to all files

chown -R nobody:users directory

See how that goes.

 

If you also need to mod permissions:

chmod XXX file.name

XXX is the octal that you need. 777  will work for everything but you probably don't need quite that much.

Read this, it will explain it pretty well.

-R after chomd for recursive to apply to all files.
