Hi,

I have recently set myself up a Freenas server all is going well. I am however having trouble moving files from my mac to the mounts I am using the CIFS/SMB service and I constantly get the message;

The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items.

I have used BatChmod to change all the permissions of the folder and sub-folders and files to Read & Write but still it will not let me move the folder. Also the folder I am trying to move is the Mail folder so I can back it up. I have googled around and found not much that works.

Anyone else ever had problems with this? Is there anyway I could get around it?

Thanks

(if you need any more info just ask)
 
I had the exactly same problem on my Fedora 12 Server running Samba, To fix this i googled and read up.

the fix was turning off Unix Extensions in Samba conf file.

im sure the command is Unix Extensions = no

since then i can copy files fine :)

heres a bug report

I tried putting that into the smb.conf file and it was successful but when i restart the service it will disappear and I am back to square one again.

Here is the config file and where I put the Unix Extensions = no
