Windows 10 permissions...

How is the NAS on windows 10 Pro? Is it software or a share? Did you check ntfs vs share permissions?

 

Windows 10 permissions...

Ok so I feel officially dumb I am trying to copy my steam library to my NAS. Both are on windows 10 pro and both have full control in the file manager. Neither windows nor fast copy will allow me to copy, both list a permissions error? This was never an issue with windows 7...so first off thank you microsoft god forbid I want to back up my data, second off what the heck do I need to do to make this work. All I could fine online was to set full control and that obviously didn't help.

Also robocopy doesn't apparently work with network locations?

 

Windows XP to Windows 7 Connection Issue




You need to open the window above and click on Turn off password protected sharing

To get to this window, do the following:

• Click the Orb - the round, coloured thing on the bottom left *Wink
• Click Control Panel
• Click Network and Sharing Centre
• Click Advanced sharing settings at the top left of the window
• Scroll down to the bottom
• Under the Password protected sharing section, click Turn off password protected sharing
• Click Save changes

Now ensure that the folder you want shared has at least the Read file sharing permission assigned to it in the Sharing tab. Just as important, ensure the Read NTFS permission is explicitely set for the Everyone user and ensure that there aren't any Denied permissions blocking it, as they override the Allow permissions. Be aware, that the file sharing and NTFS permissions combine, such that the more restrictive permission takes precedence. Therefore, if you have the NTFS permission set to Full Control, but only Read in the sharing permission, then the connecting computer will only be able to read the folder.

In the end, you must ensure that the NTFS permissions for the folder that you're sharing has at least the Read and List / Read Data Effective Permission against it, or you won't see anything.

NTFS permissions can be quite complicated and confusing, especially with inherited permissions and the denied permissions, so feel free to ask. I've just been on a Windows XP course for work and it cleared up a lot of confusion for me over how they work. *Big Grin

Also, while troubleshooting this, switch off Norton completely, as settings on it may be blocking you in subtle ways you're not aware of. When you've got sharing working properly, then switch it back on and see if it still works.
