Permissions: File and network
Posted: 28 Apr 2011, 04:47
Hi all
I have a 500GB USB HDD which when connected to my PC works as it should, read write etc.
Now I have got my B2 working I connected it via that.
If I access Home, for example, via a webpage, as admin and user, I get a login, which works, and I can access download etc but cannot change permissions from read only.
In File manager I have two options to access the files:
Option 1:
MS Windows Network - Excito - Bubba -
Home (this requires a login, both Admin and my user login and the passwords are not recognised)
Storage - extern - Disk_0 (which I can see, read only, everything)
Also under storage is Music, Pictures and Video and anything placed there is automatically made read only. However I can change the properties from read only, for example a photo album in Pictures, only for it to come back again.
Option 2:
Under Network Places - storage on bubba Miniserver (Bubba)
Storage - extern - Disk_0 (which I can see, read only, everything)
Also under storage is Music, Pictures and Video and anything placed there is automatically made read only. However I can change the properties from read only, for example a photo album in Pictures, only for it to come back again.
I actually want Option 1 so each user in the family has to login to access their home folder, but what I really want is to change the permissions!
I have not attempted to access it yet via my Linux box just Windows for now.
Any help greatly appreciated.
