Changing permssions on a NFS share file

Dizz-E — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 18:28:46 GMT

I have used ndmpcopy to copy a file to an nfs share on my system. (8.1.4 7mode)

But i cannot read the file from the server with NFS mount.

The permissions on my source file are 600.

I cannot find any information on how to change this to 644 so i can copy the file.

Can anyone point me in the correct direction?

Mount your exported directory on any Unix/Linux system and use standard "chmod" command.

I couldn't actually get this to work. Despite my nfs export being set to root for my host.

Similar for changing the perms using SMB.

I guess ndmp is doing somthing odd to the file perms.

Anyway. I eventaully got the files to copy to my destination filer once i realised that ndmpcopy doesn't use the password i expected.
