In the above output, the part of the line with -rwx------ shows what permissions are on the folders. The first - is more or less for special things, like directories and symlinks (d and l, respectively). The next three are for the user who owns the files, in this case mediabox. The r allows reading, the w allows writing, and the x allows execution. The next three are for group access, where other members of the group and can read, write, or execute the file(s). And the last three are for users who are not the owner or part of that group. The dashes in the last 6 places mean that outside of the user who owns it, nobody else has access to the files. You will need to add read and write permissions for the folder and files. The easiest way to do it would be to run the command "sudo chmod -R 775 /home/mediabox/Music" to add read, write, and execute permissions to the folder and files within. This will allow the user and group full access to the files, and those outside the user and group read and execute permissions, which is pretty standard. You could do a 770 to five others no access. Do man chmod for more info. -- 4mula1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4mula1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3439 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34841 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
