Can't take Ownership or change permissions on a folder

[AFK_Matrix]

Hi,

I have a Seagate BlackArmor NAS which I have filled with files from our network via a XP pc and I am then connecting the NAS to a laptop with windows 7 on it. I can access the files, delete files, create files etc. But I also have a linux boot on the laptop where I need to run a script from where it writes stuff to the laptop hdd but then copies it to the NAS. But when it tries to copy to the NAS it says I don't have permission to this.

So I thought if I put the ownership of the folder into my laptop user name then it might let me do the copy. So under the ownership part it says that it is currently owned by nobody (Unix User\nobody) and I have no clue where that has come from?? And I want to change this to say the Laptop User name it says that Access is Denied? It also says that the permissions for nobody are special what does this mean?

Thanks.

In the permissions for the folder are you able to add the 'users' group with full permissions?

I had similar problems with the NAS at work (Netgear) and had to SSH into it to fix the permissions, fun fun .
