Problem deleting files smb://mybookworld
Hi I have a problem deleting files from a network hard drive.
Its called MYBOOKWORLD ... (western digital) On my Ubuntu (10.04) PC I'm root. I access the files on the drive from my PC (as root) via Gnome Nautilus 2.31.1 Clicking places Clicking network Clicking entire network smb://mybookworld/movie/ Several hundred files exist (e.g. movie/Wales-08.ts). (movie is the name of a subdirectory under smb://mybookworld/movie/) (smb://mybookworld/movie/movie/Wales-08.ts) Right clicking on these files and choosing properties and then permissions. I get the following message....... The permissions of Wales-08.ts could not be determined. Any suggestions where to start? I guess I have to open terminal and chmod +x and/or chown them, but I cant work out the syntax of the command? |
I forgot to mention that the files on the network storage have the closed padlock symbol.
In hindsight I probably should have posted this question somewhere else, if a moderator reads this please could you move it to a more appropriate forum. (Sorry) |
sorted...........
putty > root > password BUT (many sites say mybookworld root user name upper case-- lower case worked for me?) etc. rm <file names> |
