ROOT won't let me login to my shared files and folders

[Renderz]

Hi, I hope someone can help

 

Windows won't let me login into TOWER with my ROOT login, even though I can use the ROOT login to access the web gui.

 

Because it won't allow me to login as ROOT, I am forced to login using another account I created, however that user restricts me to read files/folders only. I simply cannot delete, copy TO or rename anything. 

 

PLEASE HELP!!

Assuming that you want to use "root" to access files / folders over the network.  That is strictly not allowed.  The root user is only for SSH / WebUI logins.

 

Create another user that has full access to all the shares and use it to login to the shares to manipulate them.

Hi Squid

 

I do have another user called TERRY, with that account I can access folders/file etc, but like I said I ONLY have read access. I can't copy to, delete, rename etc....

Check Terry's permissions for the shares in the WebUI for unRaid

I must mention that the share is not actually a configured "share" until the SHARE menu. 

 

It's a mounted drive using the plugin UNASSIGNED DRIVES. 

 

It has been working fine until a week ago, now I've run out of ideas.

Unassigned Devices has its smb settings that you can configure.  Its in the settings tab

Dammit, I really thought you had solved it for me then :-)

 

Sadly, that didn't work. I've attached a screengrab that may give you a clue, but I personally don't know what it means. THAT is why I've been trying to login as ROOT to the share.

Not the Windows Security Settings. In the Settings for Unassigned Devices.

 

Forget about Windows Security settings.

Sorry, I meant I had tried the settings in Unassigned Devices (see screengrab) but that still does't work. Even created a new account called Pops to see if that solved anything, but it seems to be a headache.

You should probably read through this thread.  The link is to a post by LimeTech which shows why SMB can be such a bear to get working properly.  

Reading through the rest of the thread may give you some insight into how to solve your problem.  Unfortunately, you often have to reboot everything that is involved in your SMB system to test out a different approach because some prior action may prevent the solution from working...

Looks like I"m ****** then :-(

Why?

 

Did you read the thread Frank1940 linked? Did you try anything discussed in the thread?

How can you write/delete files with root level permission then?

What are you trying to do?   Normal shares should have no trouble.   Appdata probably will and you would either use the command prompt or something like krusader to dynamix file manager

Another tool is Midnight commander which built into Unraid and is accessible from the GUI Terminal---  the    >_    icon on the GUI toolbar.  Midnight Commander (mc) is a dual pane editor and runs with root privileges.  To use it, just type  mc   at the command line prompt.  Using it, you can manipulate any file/directory in the entire Unraid file structure.    IF you need instructions in its use, Google   linux mc tutorial
