SOLVED Only have read/write access to root folder, no access to subfolders

[FernandoMartinez]

Hi everyone,

I'm fairly experienced with computers and networking but I'm a newbie with FreeNAS so I apologise if I'm not clear with any details.

I had a FreeNAS setup where I created subfolders and I could write to all without any troubles. I was able to write to it from my Windows 7 x64 PC and read content from it via the PC, an Android tablet and my Raspberry Pi running Raspbmc as well as my PS3 via Raspbmc but for some reason I lost read and write access entirely despite being able to ping the FreeNAS server.

I started the configuration from scratch and whilst I am able to copy files to and open them from the root folder of the server, I am unable to create new folders or access the existing subfolders. I can still ping the server and it is set up with a static IP address.

These are the config details:

Account
_Users
__Username: Test
__Primary Group ID: wheel
__Shell: csh
__Home Directory : /mnt/Storage (root)
__Home DirectoryMode: All selected

Sharing
_Windows (CIFS) Shares
__Storage
___Name: Storage
___Path /mnt/Storage
___Browsable to Network Clients: Yes
___Inherit Owner: Yes

Services
_CIFS
__Authentication Model: Local User
__NetBIOS name: freenas
__Workgroup: WORKGROUP (same as Windows 7 PC)
__Guest account: nobody
__Support DOS File Attributes: Yes
__Allow Empty Password: Yes
__Zeroconf share discovery: Yes
__Hostname lookups: Yes

Can anyone advise what I need to change to be able to access (read and write) the subfolders on the server please?

Many thanks in advance.

And the Storage settings:

Storage
_Volumes
__/mnt/Storage
___Change Permissions
____Owner (user): test
____Owner (group): nogroup
____Mode: All selected
____Type of ACL: Windows
____Set pemission recursively: Yes

Is it a typo that you have a user "Test" and an owner "test"? If not, these are 2 different users.

Thanks for answering.

It is a typo. Both the User and Owner names have matching cases.

My ACL settings were the problem. I now have full read/write access.
