I’m fairly new to this, so please pardon my learning curve. I’m sure this is simple. I tried searching, but didn’t find exactly my issue, and I’m new enough I’m not sure I can translate something that’s only close but not exact to my current situation.

I recently had to rebuild my Ubuntu server running FOG. I copied my images to an external drive, and everything went well until I wanted to copy them back to the images folder. It failed, and I discovered (looking at the folder in FileZilla) that the images folder doesn’t have Write permission for Public Permissions. I see it does on another Ubuntu server I manage. I think all I need to do is just change that, but it won’t let me change it in FileZilla.

I tried just reinstalling FOG to see if that helped, but it didn’t. So my next plan is to just use the command line to change the permissions, which I think should be fairly simple, but I’m not entirely sure of the exact command. Can I use

chmod 777 images

from the root level? If that’s not best, what should I use? chown? Do I just have the syntax wrong? Thanks for anyone that’s willing to help me learn.

I notice occasionally that after imaging, the computer does not have the name I assigned during the image process. I have had this happen from time to time, and I thought it was connected to an issue I have occasionally when the computer seems to have a problem connecting to my network and I have to start the process over. Today I had four on my bench, and I went from one to the next completing each step, so what I did was identical from one to the next. Three of the four were renamed with the name I assigned during the image process, one was not. I did not watch them during the process, but I did not notice that any of them did anything the others did not. It’s not hard to fix, but it’s just curious to me. I’m fairly new to this, by the way, so please be fairly basic with any responses. Thanks in advance.
