DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

just installed the funplug 0.4 and telnetted to the box.. changed ownership of the BT folder with all sub folders to my system user, and TADAAA.. i can now delete files from the BT directory directly from vista without going by telnet..

what you need to do before dlink fixes this in an upcoming release, is to install the funplug 0.4
http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.4/

use putty to telnet to the box..

use the command chown -R(recursive) <user> <path>, and thats it.. done in less than 5 minutes..

What login did you use to access the download menu?  If you logged in as Admin, this is your reason.  You need to use your username and login to access the download page.  Each user gets to log into it, and it downloads with the settings of the user who starts the download.

No, it doesn't because the bit-torrent client is logged in as Admin, not 'nobody' like when you go into a share from a PC.  Because of this, all the files that the bit-torrent program writes will have the permissions (user and group) set to those of Admin.  When you log into the share from the PC, you have full access to the BT share to read and write, but the files that were written there by the Bit-torrent will not.  The BT share permissions only are applicable to files written via that share, and the bit-torrent program writes directly to the disk, since it runs native on the DNS-323.  You need to set up a user account.

Mine is somewhat similar problem. Previously, was not able to delete or create any file in the BT folder but now I can edit, create and delete any files I wish for some strange reason.
Secondly, no seeding also on my part. If this goes on, huge leecher it becomes.
Sometimes, my torrent can start and sometimes, no matter how many times I press start, nothing moving. Adding new torrent, same result.
My custom settings always will reset back to default after restarting the DNS-323.

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to give you all a resolution to not being able to delete completed files via BT without having to install telnet/funplug.

It was via the two posts within this thread that discusses the weird experience where one day they couldn't delete the files and the next day they could that allowed me to troubleshoot when I experienced this issue.

I am consciously trying to avoid having to mod the DNS-323 in any way.

I don't believe setting up a new user or using the admin user to access the downloads page makes a difference.

1) Download the file via inbuilt torrent facilty
2) When completed and after copying file to another location, click on the "Remove Completed Torrents" button. I believe this actually changes the permissions for all folder and files under the BT folder to Full Control for Everyone.
3) Delete files (and even files previously not able to be deleted) as required
4) I would suggest that you then delete the BT folder and create another one with the original three folders complete, incomplete, torrents...Therefore setting the owner of the folders to unix user/nobody

I don't know, I only had the D-Link BT program for a short while -- too many security issues with it.

It works! I can delete files from the BT share.

I formatted my disks after upgrading to firmware 1.05 and created the BT folders manually before installing the BT client.

Unfortunately now I don't know which action did the trick - formatting or creating folders manually. But it works!

I now this may be an old problem now, but i got the same after some download, i was not able to delete some of the finich download, but then i notise that if i started a new torrent, and then try to delete at the same time i download, it works.

I have had this problem as well and none of the solutions posted here have worked for me.  I spoke with (the terrible) tech support about this and they said they are ware of the issue and are working to release a fix "soon" but there is not ETA yet... of course.  Who knows, could be a few weeks or maybe a few months

I did however read another solution (which unfortunately involves "hacking" the unit... adding telnet) but it does work.  In addition I have created an shell script / apple script combination for the Mac users out there.  I'm sure the same thing could be created for the Windows world too.

Another note is that you probably want to have ftp enabled if you don't already.  I am new at this but I had my RAID1 array degrade when I was using the path in the /mnt directory to change the permissions.  I was not able to confirm whether or not that was the cause of the degradation (which did rebuild ok) but it happened around the same time I was changing the permissions so it might be "safer" to do it via the ftp path.

Again this requires you to have telnet installed on the DNS-323 which I don't get into here there is lots of info in the Wiki (http://dns323.kood.org/) and in these forms on how to do that.  It also requires that you have not enabled the password for Telnet.  Be default (at least with the method I used to enable Telnet) you are not prompted for a usename or password when you telnet into the box.  If you are prompted this script could be modified accordingly.

NOTE: As with any other DNS-323 hacking I am not responsible if this breaks anything.

Step 1: Create the following script file somewhere on your Mac your desired location.  I called mine "changeBTPermissions.sh".  Name and location don't really matter though.  (NOTE: Replace <NAS_IP> with the IP of your NAS)

#!/bin/bash
expect << EOF
set timeout 20
spawn telnet <NAS_IP>
expect "*#"
# original path was /mnt/HD_a2/BT\r but may possibly cause problems with RAID so avoid it if you can
send "chmod -R 777 /usr/share/ftp_server/Volume_1/BT\r"
expect "*#"
send "exit"
exit
EOF

Step 2: Run the script for terminal OR create an apple script that calls this one so you can have a click able icon to run this procedure (see below).
do shell script "/path/to/shell/script/changeBTPermissions.sh"

Hopefully D-Link will release a patch "soon" as they said
