I'm doing this on unRAID via putty and then looking at that folder from Win7 64bit and the file isn't visible.  When I create a file in Win7 using exact same folders then it's visible on the linux side.  I even did chmod 777 on the file after copying it.  Why can't I see the linux created file from Win7? 

 

cp /etc/rc.d/rc.M /mnt/disk1

 

It has to do with how the 'extended' attributes of the files get mapped from Linux to Windows. In particular  how the Linux Group and Other 'executable' bit maps to Windows 'system' and 'hidden'. Try a different mode, like 666.

Here's a previous post that explains this: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4674.msg43584#msg43584 (repeated here to generate warm-fuzzies)

 

It is not a bug. It depends on how you configured SAMBA to map additional non-unix attributes, like the WinOS HIDDEN flag.

 

Look into the SAMBA options of "map hidden", "map archive", and "map system" within the smb.conf man pages.

Thank you!!!  chmod 666 does the trick.
