Storage permissions, www ftp

[DrewS]

I want to have the group ftp and www access to a particular dataset so I can use FTP to automatically backup my files and access them through owncloud outside of the house.

I do not care if ftp is not the solution, I want to automatically backup daily to freenas and be able to use owncloud to access the files. whats the best way to go about doing this.

Did you decide upon a solution for this?

I may be able to do it using ACL to apply FTP group access to the files as well as WWW group, I tried on the folder, that I want both to have access to

"getfacl Massive": returns
# file: Massive
# owner: www
# group: www
owner@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd----:allow
group@:rwxpDdaARWcCos:fd----:allow
everyone@:r-x---a-R-c---:fd----:allow


I tried using "setfacl -Rm g:ftp:rw Massive" brings error "setfacl: illegal option -- R"

I tried using "setfacl -m g:ftp:rw Massive" and got "setfacl: Massive: branding mismatch; exsisting ACL is NFSv4, entry to be merged is POSIX.1e"

and after using getfacl Massive again, I got the same as above. I think using ACL is the way to get this to work the way I want but I do not know how to do it properly.

Does the format suggested in https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/new-files-folders-default-permissions.8096/#post-52643 work for you?
