Changing owner of shared folder

Post by userman93 »

Is there a way to change this from the admin user, to another user on the system?

I don't have my NAS powered up at the moment, so I don't know if this possible from the GUI. But you can definitely do it if you SSH into your NAS. The default admin user has root privileges, so just use the standard chown command to change the owner. If you want to also change ownership of all the folder contents, then use the -R option: "chown -R newuser:newgroup folder-name". Do this for the actual folder in /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/, and not to the symlink in /share.
