Can't rename files on FTP

[Flappie]

Hi,

I have some trouble with my FTP. I can't rename files on my FTP server?
When i try to rename it says:

[R] 257 "ftp_pvt/Shared/" is current directory.
[R] PASV
[R] 227 Entering Passive Mode (192,168,100,2,4,4)
[R] Opening data connection IP: 192.168.100.2 PORT: 1028
[R] LIST -al
[R] 150 OK
[R] 226 Transfer complete.
[R] List Complete: 56 bytes in 0,24 seconds (0,2 KB/s)
[R] RNFR Test
[R] 350 File exists, ready for destination name.
[R] RNTO Test2
[R] 553 Permission denied.
Rename Failure!

What is wrong? How can i fix this?

Thx

-Does your user have the required FTP rights (read/write/erase)?
-What filesystem are you using?

We need more info...

Edit: It looks like stupid-ftp does not support the rename commands.

Filesystem = Fat32

Ik can rename directory's.

But when i make a directory in an other directory, i can't rename?

What is my problem?

supply firmware version etc.. (reading faq would be nice..)

[Flappie]

Product: WL500G
Firmware Version: 1.9.2.7
Firmware Release: 1.9.2.7-2

please enable Samba, and confirm that you can not rename dirs there as well

[Flappie]

Is there a manual to get samba working?

Thx

I tested it at home and I confirm you can't rename a file (1.8.1.7 CR2) on a FAT32 partition. With Samba its possible. Renaming a directory works.

226 Transfer complete.
    RNFR compile.txt
350 File exists, ready for destination name.
    RNTO compile1.txt
553 Permission denied.
    RNFR /giftwakeup-old
350 File exists, ready for destination name.
    RNTO /giftwakeup-ol
250 RNTO command successful.

Okey, i started samba and changes the workgroup from my computer from HOME to WORKGROUP

I can access the files, but thy are read-only!!!

I have to change smb.conf?

1. How can i change the name of the "fileserver". Now it is:
Samba 1.9.18P10 (Asus-wl500g)

Can i change this name?

2. When i edit the file /etc/smb.conf (vi /etc/smb.conf) how can i save my changes, en quit the editor vi?


And yes, i have used the SEARCH!

Thx

You might need to search again

Answers:
The visible shares are read-only. There's a hidden share too which is read/write (Share$). Also, the samba config supplied by the custom firmwares are example configs, you need to adjust them to your needs.

[Flappie]

Oke,

The share \\192.168.100.2\Share$ is also read only.


When i open vi (vi /etc/smb.conf) i can edit the file with pressing "i"

But, how can i save the file ? And how to exit Vi


How to ad the commands

/usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D

to the /usr/local/sbin/post-boot


I have used the search several times. I have found a lot of information. On http://wl500g.dyndns.org/ i found:

-------------------------
add the following to your /usr/local/sbin/post-boot script):

/usr/sbin/smbd -D
/usr/sbin/nmbd -D
-------------------------

But HOW can i add this files to /usr/local/sbin/post-boot!!

[Flappie]

someone who can help me?

Wow, easy dude, we ain't some paid helpdesk here

For a manual on vi use Google.

You can use vi to add the two lines needed for samba in the post-boot file.

On a FAT32 the Share$ dir should be writable, unless you edited the samba.conf wrongly. Also is the 192.168.1.2 your router?
