I am trying to copy some files from my local drive to a SMB share I have set up on my home network using Terminal, but I keep getting this error:

fchmod failed: Permission denied

The share is set up on a Freenas server and the folder permissions is set to 777. I can copy the files ok with Finder so I don't know why its not working in Terminal.

Could you copy and paste the relevant commands and error messages into your question ? Also the result of ls -l on the source and destination directories ? – Paul R Nov 13 '12 at 16:13
I had to send the laptop back. Hopefully I will have a replacement next week. I will post back then – johnmcp Nov 13 '12 at 20:08
