Setting correct permissions on shared folder (SMB)

    Hi everybody,


    i'm pretty new in using OMV and failed to set correct permissions on my shared folder.
    So ii would be great to get some help here.


    I created a shared folder "A".
    I then created a subfolder "B" inside "A" and a subfolder "C" inside "B".
    It looks like this:


    Folder A
    I
    I
    Subfolder B
    I
    I
    Subsubfolder C


    This are my permissions for users-group:
    A: r-x
    B: r-x
    C: rwx


    Then i accessed my shared folder on another pc and created some testfiles in folder C.
    Until this point all worked fine. If I made any mistakes, please feel free to tell me. :)


    Now, when i select folder C and try to delete it, all the content inside C is deleted, but not C itself.


    So my question is, why is all the content deleted in my example?
    I expected to get told that I'm not allowed to delete folder C when i tried and that nothing happened. Instead I got no warning and the content was deleted?
    What have I done wrong?


    Thanks for your help!

    Are you using the GUI to access and create folders to share? If so when you scroll to the bottom when you're making a share. There is a box that gives the same permissions to all the sub folders. I would try that first.
    And you can change the owner of the folder. Change that to whatever user name you will be using.
    Last I would try to log into the share as the root user. If you can delete the folder as root then yes it's a permission issue.

    Thanks for your answer.


    Yes, I created the shares via the GUI. I did check the box to give same permissions to the subfolders.
    I only have one user which is also the owner of my shared folders.


    What i want, is that it is not possible for my user to select folder C (in example above), press "delete" and the folder's content is deleted whithout any warning.
    How to do so?
    I gave the user rwx permissions on folder C but only r-x on folder B. I don't understand what's wrong.

    Okay this is my take on it and I may be wrong.
    So the folder c that you are trying to delete resides in the b folder. You give full permissions to the c folder that allows you to do anything inside that folder. But the c folder resides in the b folder. So to be able to delete the c folder I believe you need to give the correct permissions to the b folder to be able to make changes inside it by trying to delete the c folder.


    I hope that made sense and I hope it fixes your issue.
