Whenever I finish downloading the file(s) I go to the file through my network places (SAMBA?) and go to the folders I allowed for public visibility which I placed the Bittorrent folder under. When I select the folder and it opens. Alas, no file. When I go thru ftp in IE I can see the files, but I believe they are still marked with a hidden attribute when I place them either on my laptop or move them to a new folder on my thecus. Still, some one should update the BT module and make sure that when you're in SAMBA? mode that the files aren't hidden. Thanks Some explanation would be ok too. But this post was to ask to see if someone could update the BT module.  I've got no idea hot to do it myself, lol  |

Sounds like a permission problem to me. Instead of using a public share just put your files on a share which requires username and password for access. If this does not help you're out of luck. E.g. you'll have to change permissions yourself.

Try editing your samba settings and removing the "map hidden" and "map archive" directives and see if that fixes the problem. Remember to back up the configuration file first.
These settings were a major problem for me with regard to the permissions settings that i was trying to use.

I have noticed the same thing happen.
It happens on a non public share.
also if you delete the "bt" folder that it makes by default between each download it wont happen. Its only when it puts files there a second time.
In windows if you change your folder options to view hidden files then you can see the files.
you can copy the files to your pc, remove the hidden attribute, then copy them back to the N2100.
it sucks but its better than no work around, maybe someone can write a module to fix it.
I would if i knew how. ;D

The Samba settings on the Thecus are crappy at best imho. They make Samba unusable for all Mac OS X users and rather tricky for Windows users. Before moving to nfs with my two iBooks I tried these changes (to be done once on file /raid/sys/smb.conf)
in the global section on top delete line map system = yes and replace with
map system = no
map archive = no
map hidden = no
then remove all map archive & map hidden statements from every share.
Next we need to add one more statement to all shares
dos filemode = yes
To repair access for our Mac OS X friends delete all files and directories listed at veto files = ... and replace with this instead
hide dot files = yes
hide files = /Network Trash Folder/TheFindByContentFolder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/Temporary Items/
veto files =
I wouldn't mind if someone with more Samba experience does some cross checking of these modifs.
cheers

Thanks Getmythe although I have no idea how to do that.  (hoping some one can write a module  ) before i got the N2100 i had no interest in linux, but now that i see how much you can do on such low spec hardware it really makes me rethink windows, and now im interested in linux. |

Hi getmythe, I played around with the samba settings myself and came up with the same changes that you did. I'm no samba expert but they seem to work really well so they get my vote. Now if i could only get my apache changes to stick  Regards, dbridges |

Ok curiosity has gotten the better of me, how do you change the samba settings. someone please let me know if im on the right track. Install the ssh module on the N2100 install some kinda ssh client on my pc. connect to the n2100 with root and password  ? (do i need to use the password module here?) type in the settings in this thread... |

Ok curiosity has gotten the better of me, how do you change the samba settings. someone please let me know if im on the right track. Install the ssh module on the N2100 Yep. For anyone new to the N2100 who wants to get the most out of it, this is essential. install some kinda ssh client on my pc. Yes. I'm using Putty. There are a number of them out there. connect to the n2100 with root and password ? (do i need to use the password module here?) It's dependent on your firmware but the answer is yes. The password for the old firmware was openly known but it's not known for the new firmware which is where the password module comes in handy. type in the settings in this thread... 4 out of 4. One thing that is handy from a tweaking and investigation point of view for windows users is to edit the samba config to create a share pointing at the root folder. Then you can just browse around in explorer. One thing to be wary of is that there is a lot of symbolic links (probably way too many) and it appears from the windows perspective that the filesystem is duplicated. Also. Don't go changing the permissions on the configuration files in the filesystem. The results can be unexpected for people unfamiliar with linux. |

dbridges, edits of /app/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf are sticky! I know It's the html changes which go missing  I shouldn't have said apache  |

Thanks dbridges and getmythe. I applied the module and it fixes the problem where the bittorrent files are hidden. good work. I have also installed SSH but plan to do a bit more reading up on linux before i start playing, dont want to break it. Getmythe I assume youll put your module up on onbeat.dk/thecus/index.php/Main_PageJust incase you need the info im running firmware 2.1.01 the module works fine and i have not encountered any problems (ill let you know if i get any) though i did have to reboot after enabling the module to see any changes. Cheers ;D |

Wow thanks Getmythe & dbridges!!! I still can't see the files in the folder it downloaded itself in. hmmm...wonder why . I'm going to try the SSH mod dbridges suggested. Also, there are some trackers that require a username and password. IE: Demonoid, which I'm part of and can't connect to the tracker to seed. Is there a way around this? Otherwise, sorry to state again, but it should be updated, lol. |

Hi Quickster357 I found that after applying the samba module i had to reboot my n2100 also the fix to hidden files was only active for new torrents, ones already in progress did not become unhidden. cheers |

SAMBA plays around with access control bits on Linux to simulate hidden and archive bits when it offers the file to Windows clients because Linux file system does not have equivalent bits. After change in SAMBA settings the new files will be created with a different access bit pattern - you should be able to CHMOD them into shape via SSH

? (do i need to use the password module here?)
