Well thats more off an a basic linux question so use your favourite terminal tool on windows it's may be putty and open a SSH session tot the server . The commands in question s you want to explore is *cd* (for moving around just like in DOS prompt ) and *chmod* and *chown* . Is the is rigths and owners/user on the system . There are a lot of such web sites and resources that could explain it to you I recommend going there and learn some . make bookmarks . Find the where it the folders are in the linux file structure a gues is /mnt or /media but you get some clues from lms web UI while you try to browse there . Exemple only valid for me : # chmod 777 -R /media/cover this is my cover art folder named "cover" that is in my media folder and i changed the rights to read and write for everyone (the 777 part ) and the -R means recursively for subfolders to that folder . This may seem a bit sloppy to some (it is lazy I admit ) you could experiment with chown which rougly is "change owner" and a more restrictive rw options (if you google you find what these 3 numbers mean and make a more restricted schoice ) . The LMS is running by its own user account that usually is squeezeboxserver (can be something else) besides that you have root and possibly some other user I dont know the plug distro . So you could change the owner to squeezeboxserver . *mkdir* is also useful you can make the folders directly in the commandline My lazy approach is because this is "just" the music share that I have back-upped etc . I'm not bank so it's more of nuisance if it gets corrupted . More seasoned linux users may have better ideas . -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
