What I’m trying to do is move a file to a ZFS storage share, but I’m getting “Could not write to file” popup. ls -la gets me this drwxr-xr-x - marc 16 Oct 20:18  . drwxrwxrwx - root 17 Oct 05:41  … .rwxr----- 1.6G marc 16 Oct 20:18  Vacation.mp4 ls -l .rwxr----- 1.6G marc 16 Oct 20:1…

[image] marcmc: chmod a+ rwx Vacation.mp4 I don’t think this is actually relevant to your overall problem, but the specific issue here is that you inserted an extra space. chmod a+rwx Vacation.mp4 I think that more information about the destination would probably be useful.

share ls -l drwxrwxr-x - marc 14 Oct 16:31  .smb drwxrwxrwx - marc 1 Oct 21:24  media drwxrwxr-x - marc 14 Oct 16:20  personal what other info is needed

Just to further the last comment on [image] dmt: This is what it should look like: $ ls -lh /etc/fstab -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.8K Sep 24 14:21 /etc/fstab Notice the columns: file type, permissions, number of hard links, owner, group, size, date, time, filename. We can achieve this by set…

Could be, but no formatting was used so we can’t see exactly. :man_shrugging:

[image] cscs: We can achieve this by setting 644. Indeed, but I was mostly pointing out the columns in OP’s output don’t match normal ls output, and this prevents us from seeing what’s what. However depending on intent, 640 is also an option (not that I need to tell you that). …
