Same Here. Any DL BT creates a new folder (same name as DL) with file inside. Although sometimes I can delete the file inside the folder I can not delete the folder if its inside the bittorrent folder. I called support and they said they will address this in the next firmware. Wonder how long we have to wait.

PS. I noticed I can delete the files inside the folder through the BuffaloNas.com but not through local folders from share on PC. It still will not allow me to delete the actual container folder though.

I just hope they didn't tell me that just to brush me off without trying to go through steps of problem. Is easier to say , perhaps next firmware will fix it.

I did have it working and then it stopped...

LS-CHL F/W 1.02

Tried disabling the Bittorrent functionallity and restarting, but no change.

Seems to be able to delete files inside folders, but then not the folder. It's properties says "Write protected" and you're unable to change it as it's grayed out.

It's only related to the Bittorrent folder. Everything else works properly.

It's new years in slightly more then 27h here in Sweden.

What's the story on that firmware?

I know this isn't really a solution but I found that by enabling web access you can login (even from your LAN) and you will be able to delete those unwanted folders. Hope this helps.

: gnas969 December 31, 2008, 07:42:16 AM

This only works 95% of the time. I have folders to this day that I can't delete even from the web interface. I think it could be due to fact that I tried deleteing the files inside the folder first through windows explore, which worked fine but it would not let me delete the actual folder. Then when I go to web access and try to delete that folder I still can't delete it. I hope with the new firmware I will be able to go back and delete all these maveric folders.

Happy New year!

Another year and still no new firmware to address these issues. Why haven't we had any status update of what to expect , other then the usual "We will check on the status ....."

I also have this error.

And is there a way to make the bittorrent download manager secure, by adding a code?

: Re: Cannot copy, cut, or paste files in the bittorent folders.
: SilverFoX January 02, 2009, 06:35:34 PM

there is a possibility to change at least the cut and delete option for the torrent folders....but it´ll void the warranty as stated in the forums.

but apc-commander could do the job...

as said - i don´t want to loose my warranty and it not my job to fix things which didn´t work in the first place!

hm - i think it could be done....to think that the torrent client isn´t secured with a password when accessing it remotely :smileysurprised:

other then that i started something like a thread collection regarding the linkstation live with bittorrent here:

I'm having the same problems with the bittorrent. Ive got the client working but I cannot move my downloaded files o any other share, I keep getting permission denied errors. Ive recently applied 1.2 firmware but still the smae isue persists. I just waned to know if there was a soloution to this problem. Many thanks V

as stated before the only solution is to copy the data - and let the original files in the bittorrent folder....

you could try to delete the files with the bittorrent folder with webaccess....as a workaround

you could use webaccess within your lan and try to delete folders - but even there are sometimes errors and it takes ages to delete even a single folder because you always have to confirm the deletion....there are no checkboxes to select the folders etc

I have the same issue. If Buffalo would give us root access to the product we purchased we could login to the LS Operating System (BusyBox Linux) and delete the files/folders, as they are owned by root. Or we could modify the permissions and delete them as a user. I am working on the issue and will get back with answers.

It seems SilverFox is correct the apc commander allows you to gain root access via telnet. Once you have root access you can do whatever you want. I have not been able to find anything that states the apc commander will void the warranty. If so then I may no longer be a Buffalo customer. As I believe that when Buffalo decided to use open source Linux and BusyBox code they should trust their customers enough to have control over the software that is licensed via GPL. It is not like I am physically cracking the box open or breaking some sort of seal to make a hardware modification. I am just using the open source software that came loaded on the NAS product I purchased.

To change the file/folder permissions.

Download and run apc_commander. (much respect to the guy who wrote the software)
Login as root via telnet.
Change the file permissions of the bittorrent folder. (chmod -R a+wx /mnt/disk1/share/bittorrent)
Delete, rename, etc. the files as needed.
Change the file permissions back to the original permissions. (chmod -R a-wx /mnt/disk1/share/bittorrent
Logout and close the telnet session.

**Beware**This Linux chmod command gives read, write, and execute permissions over the entire bittorrent folder and all the files\folders within the bittorrent folder to all users. I am sure that someone who understands *nix better could give us a better command syntax so that the files\folders would be more secure since they are exposed to the Internet via the pinholes we all made in our firewalls to support the Bittorrent protocol and the Web Access feature. In the mean time this is what I will do to solve the issue.

Personally, I would like to see the issue resolved by the manufacturer but until then I shall solve my issues as I must be able to delete files on my NAS.

Hi,

there is a simple issue to solve this problem : recreate manually "bittorrent" folder

1. disable torrent service

2. delete "bittorrent" folder with Web Access

3. recreate manually "bittorrent" folder with your admin account

4. enable torrent service

works fine with me, hope it helps :smileywink:

Using any third party software to gain additional access to the devices will void the warranty. Try nico's suggestion, I had to do it on our in-house Linkstation after the firmware update.
