Can't access files which I see over ssh

Hi,

I debricked my “My Book Live” succesfully. But because of this all settings were lost. The data was not lost though.

I had to create a new user with a new private share. 

I connected then over ssh to the NAS and copied all the files from my old share to the new share 

whereby I also updated the file permissions to the same permissions of the new shares. 

Unfortunately these files don’t show up when I connect to the NAS.

Any ideas ?

You said you changed permissions, but did you also change OWNERSHIP?  

If not, log in via SSH again, and do this:

MyBookLive:~# cd /shares

Step below: change ((sharename)) to the case-sensitive name of the share

MyBookLive:~# chown nobody.share ((sharename))
MyBookLive:~# cd ((sharename))

Step below: change ((username)) to one of the users that has WRITE access to the share

MyBookLive:~# chown -R ((username)).share *

usng your new user login, create a file in the new share directory using windows or Mac.  Then SSH into the drive and observe te permissions and group associated with this file. Next go the old file and change their permissions and group to match what you saw on the new file. 

yes I had ownership and permissions right.

But the behaviour was really weird.

I deleted the dot files in the Public share and this solved my problem.

Maybe the “MyBookLive” uses some of the dotfiles.
