markle88 14 Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 When Emby uploads the photos from my phone, it will not allow me to move the files to a new directory. "You need permission to perform this action. You require permission from Unix User\root to make changes to this file" I understand that this has to do with the permissions that are assigned to the file and directory where the files are uploaded. But how do I change the directory so that I can move the files from my windows PC? I have mapped the drive to my PC using the admin credentials but that doesn't seem to work.

Luke 37060 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 how is the NAS folder shared over the network? are you sure it isn't readonly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markle88 14 Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 I am logged in to the share via the network and logged in as the Admin. I even went so far as to setup a new user with Read/write permissions and still no joy. I am able to modify all other documents in the directory, but anything that Emby uploaded to the photos folder seem to have restricted permissions. I am only able to delete the photos through the emby app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucryd 216 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Can you change the directory permissions via the web interface and make them read writable to everyone? Edited November 21, 2018 by alucryd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markle88 14 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 That didn't work. But i was able to log in to the server via ssh and change the directory permissions. That seems to have done the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
