13 Apr 10 Mac OSX 10.6.3 file share problem
Apple has introduced a bug on the new OSX 10.6.3. This will cause permission problems when you copy files to your VortexBox. We have come up with a workaround on the VortexBox end. You will need to upgrade your VortexBox if you have OSX 10.6.3
Step 1 – Use the GUI update menu and update your VortexBox to the latest code.
Step 2 – Go into the network GUI menu and press submit. You do not need to make any changes to this menu just press submit. This will reconfigure your file sharing so it works with OSX 10.6.3
