Iomega ix2-200 File Access Denied
Hi Experts,
I'm currently using Windows 7 x64 to connect to an Iomega ix2-200.
I'm trying to delete a thumbnail file but I'm getting the following error.
What do I need to do to gain permission?
I have the admin password to the NAS.
Please help.

Are you accessing through NFS or CIFS?
The message says you require permission from the Unix \ user.

May just be windows throwing that message cause it can't actually find the host file. Thumbnails are a small replica of the original.
If the original is lost here is a couple of causes.
From the manual, both showing you need to restart the service
Modifying users and groups will cause the StorCenter's Samba (SMB file sharing) service to restart. When this service restarts, all current connections will be interrupted.
Your computer should automatically reconnect to the share once the service has been restarted.
If your connection is not restored, use the StorCenter Manager software to reconnect to the StorCenter.
CAUTION! Do not create new users and groups while the StorCenter is performing a data transfer. When the connection is severed, the data transfer will be interrupted and data may be lost.
--------------------------
Connecting and disconnecting a printer causes the StorCenter's Samba (SMB file sharing) service to restart. When this service restarts, all current connections will be interrupted. Your computer should automatically reconnect to the share once the service has been restarted. If your connection is not restored, use the StorCenter Manager software to reconnect to the StorCenter.
CAUTION! Do not connect or disconnect printers while the StorCenter is performing a data transfer. When the connection is severed, the data transfer will be interrupted and data may be lost.

Hi paulsolov,
The NFS is not enabled and I'm accessing the NAS via workgroup so I believe its CIFS/SMB per the manual.
Hi Merete,
You're right that the host file is gone. Are you saying that I'll need the host file in order to delete the thumbnail?
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but my primary goal here is to get rid of the thumbnail file (the original was probably deleted by the owner).
Thanks for the replies!
Please keep it coming.

Merete's suggestion to use KillBox at 37859367 would probably have worked if the file wasn't stored on a NAS; however it did point me to using SSH to access the NAS as root.
