[GTALUG] Permission Issue Ubuntu 16.04
I have rebuilt my computer and installed 16.04. Was 14.04. There has been a change in permission behaviour. I have a Windows 10 computer that I use for my photography and Photoshop. I copy and paste folders over the network to my Linux machine for backup and using on my web sites. I did this today and the folders and files were all created with all permissions set to "nobody". They are created in a folder my user owns. The Windows username is the same as my Ubuntu username. In the past the copied folders and folders received my user ownership. I want to return to this behaviour. Reviewing documentation I see "big" solutions. Create users to my group. Test if this will work. Fingers crossed. Did not have to do this before. Can someone help with an easier solution? Thank you. -- Stephen --- Talk Mailing List talk@gtalug.org https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
[GTALUG] Permission Issue Ubuntu 16.04
**Apologies I had screenshot attachments on the first try. Message too big.** I have rebuilt my computer and installed 16.04. Was 14.04. There has been a change in permission behaviour. I have a Windows 10 computer that I use for my photography and Photoshop. I copy and paste folders over the network to my Linux machine for backup and using on my web sites. I did this today and the folders and files were all created with all permissions set to "nobody". They are created in a folder my user owns. The Windows username is the same as my Ubuntu username. In the past the copied folders and folders received my user ownership. I want to return to this behaviour. Reviewing documentation I see "big" solutions. Create users to my group. Test if this will work. Fingers crossed. Did not have to do this before. Can someone help with an easier solution?
