Shares for multiple groups

Post by JammyK »

Hi, I'm new to pretty much anything non-windows. I'm trying to set up a NAS for my Sea Cadet unit and I'm having a few teething problems.

I'm trying to set up shares for multiple people, in some instances I need one user to have full control over a folder and others to have read access only. In other instances I need a group to have full control and another to have read access only. I've been using WINSCP to set up the permissions to shares I've created through the webgui but I can only set permissions for one group and one user on there, not two groups. I'm wondering if another of the services within nas4free might be a better bet, but I can't find one that's likely to work better.

Any help would be appreciated.

James

Thanks for the replies, I'd already checked the FAQs and found those examples by Alexey but they only cover a single permission set per folder. I'll check out the pages on that last link you posted and update as soon as I get the chance Al.

I forgot all the info I should've posted last night: I'm running nas4free x86 v9.1.0.1.531 full install to the hard drive in my NAS. I doubt the hardware'll make much difference, but I can find out exactly what it is and post it if anyone thinks it might help. All I know at the mo is I've got a P3 1GHz CPU and 512MB RAM.
