Can't open folder when created by different user

Featured Replies

Hi folks,

So I have been using unraid since unraid 5 and NEVER had this issue.

 

All of a sudden when a file is copied to the unraid share by one computer. I can't seem to access it using a different computer that has a different user.

 

I am not sure why this is happening all of a sudden. This has never happened before.

Furthermore, that folder's security is set to public. Any thoughts?

On my mac the folder has a red circle with a white line through it and says "can't be opened because you don't have permission to see the contents."

 

The same issue happens if I create a folder from my mac with one user, and then try to open the folder on a windows pc

 

*EDIT*

Okay so it seems like it is a mac/pc issue? Could that be? Because I just tried to access that same specific folder on the share using a windows 10VM and had no issues accessing that folder that was created by a different windows 10 machine. 

And vice versa, if I create a folder using my mac, I can't seem to access it on the physical windows 10 machine.

 

The share settings security is set to public, so no idea?

Okay I think I am getting closer.

 

On my mac, I only seem to be able to access that folder that was created on the physical windows machine when I click on "connect as" and select that specific user that it was created from on that physical machine. Even though on unraid the security is set to public, and I have no issues accessing from a windows VM with a different user..

wow, really? No one here could help me out?

I've never had an issue before where I did not have a single reply. Is this the wrong sub forum or is the unraid community here slowly dieing off?

Bumping this thread - I am encountering the same issue, but in my case it's all Macs using the same version of Mojave. If one of them creates a folder, the other cannot save to it. Read, yes, save, no. Like the Macs are, independent of UNRAID, setting some sort of user-only permissioning on the folders they create. 

 

At this time, each Mac has its own UNRAID login, but I was encountering the issue when I was logged in with the SAME ID, too. 

 

Any suggestions as to where to start?

Is this a public share? Using SMB?

Read only for guests. I believe it was AFP.

What version Unraid? I'm not sure AFP is still supported. I think even Apple has moved away from it.

Unraid 6.8.3.

 

As for AFP - I hadn't realized it was so out of date. I saw it as an option and figured it might be worthwhile to use that (Hey, it's Apple, right?) but if SMB is preferred, that's an easy fix for me.  I just figured I'd give it a try and see if it was any better / faster....  (I'm also not saying I got it confused with APFS, but I may have gotten it confused with APFS.)

^^ According to this article, it hasn't been updated in about 7 years now...

^^ Apple support article hasn't been updated in 4 years, called it a legacy.

 

Fine. I'll stick to SMB and see if there's any further connectivity issues here.
