Synology NAS Permissions and Users on files transfer

Support
7

After experimenting with the /var/packages/syncthing/scripts/start-stop-status user settings,

I decided that the only clear way to overcome this limitation is to chmod the whole Directory before allowing FileBot to run it’s script:

  1. SSH into the NAS with your main account.

  2. Create a script using vi or nano #! /bin/sh

    chmod -R 777/volume1/YOURFOLDER/Media

  3. Give it a name like perms.sh and then sudo chmod 755 perms.sh to make it executable.

  4. Go to your Task Scheduler and set the script user as ‘root’ and edit the time to execute as well as the location of it. I put mine inside one of my shares.

  5. Execute your Filebot script and avoid permission errors when moving files!

*Warning this is only meant to be run at home and not in a production setting, as this makes things insecure.

I would still like to take suggestions to do this a better way.
