Manjaro Client 403 forbidden error

@kyrofa Thanks!

Its the bumbling along, not really knowing what Iā€™m doing but learning along the way that I find most fun, thatā€™s why doing it all again is no problem

Although running sudo chown -R root:root /media/usb & sudo chmod -R 750 /media/usb/ gave me access to the files, the client would not sync and Nextcloud repeatedly stopped so I redid the transfer of the files to my external disk etc:

First, I

  • Deleted the external disk ā€˜external storageā€™ on the Web Interface
  • Deleted the Folder Sync connections in the Client
  • Physically connected the external disk to my laptop with a USB cable,
  • Deleted my files from the external disk,

Then I:

  • Re-transferred my files over to the external disk from my laptop NB making sure to use cp -rp so that then the desktop client worked properly and didnā€™t flag up false changes
  • Re-ran sudo nextcloud.occ files:scan --path="<Nextcloud user_id>/files/<name given to disk in Nextcloud>/<Directory of interest on external disk>"
  • Ran sudo chown -R root:root /media/usb
  • Re-added the external disk as an external storage
  • Re-added the Folder Sync connections in the Client

And now everything is working fine (fingers crossed!)

[ I did not need to run sudo chmod -R 750 /media/usb/]
