Lost access to 'Downloads' folder on UnitiServe ; how to restore?

Posted by: Jan-Erik Nordoen on 28 April 2017

Whilst editing the 'Music shares' on my Serve, I inadvertently removed access to its Downloads folder. Can someone point me to the correct method for restoring it ?

Here's where I'm stuck :

I'm having trouble with the 'Share path'...

Thanks !

Jan

In the browser interface, you could try System > Network shares > Refresh all shares, and see if it finds the folder again?

Thank you Chris. Tried it but it doesn't find 'Downloads'.

There should be a re-scan of Network Shares on the main page (typing from memory now, as I'm travelling and have no access to my server)

Thanks Adam. Rescan only finds the Macbook and UnitiCore (on - ahem - long-term loan in the basement system).

It was a bit of a wild guess! Is it visible in Manage Network Shares? If so, you might be able to enable it there?

Can you go to your NAS and check that the 'Downloads' folder is enabled and with full 'guest' access rights?

Once you check that, I would actually shut down your US first, than the NAS.  Then restart the NAS and once it's up and running start up your UnitiServe.

Aha. I've not tried shutting down the US. Will do. No NAS ; all the music is on the US's hard disk.

Edit

Downloads still not visible after restart.

To re-add as a share, try typing in "\\127.0.0.1\downloads", without the quotation marks.

Many thanks,
