File Sharing directories for Fileupload

I want to use a seperate machine to hold images that are uploaded via my jsp page. Can I create a shared folder on a machine other than my server for images to be uploaded to?
I am using Tomcat, Mysql and JSP
Thanks for any help

yes, if it's a shared drive, you should be able to write to it... but what if that machine has "issues"

What's the best Bluetooth file sharing app for iPhone

I'm trying to find a good BT file sharing app for an iPhone 5. I've noticed that the iPhone 5 won't even detect devices such as other phones or computers with BT but seems to have no issue with BT accessories such as satnav. My iPod touch has no problem detecting any BT device which seems odd.
So, is there a good BT file sharing app availble for an iPhone 5?

You won't find any Bluetooth File Sharing app that will work with non-iOS devices. That is something iOS simply does not support.

How to set up a basic file sharing server for my small architectural business?

I have no idea if I have posted in the correct area as this is my first forum post within the apple support community!
I have been using a 21.5" imac running 10.6.8 for the past 5 years to run my small home based architectural design business. I have been using the internal hard drive & backing up the necessary data to a simple usb external hard drive. I am now looking to firstly purchase a new imac 27" retina and purchase new autocad lt 2015 for mac software. I am looking to have another imac (my old mac) running in conjunction with the new mac. I want both macs to be able to access the same data and am slightly unsure what is the best way to achieve this.....As my old mac is currently only running snow leopard and an old version of autocad for mac 2011 it wont run on any more recent OS. Essentially i believe I have 2 main options with this.... (1) I Accept that I have to purchase 2 no. autocad lt 2015 licences @ a cost of £2300. Or option (2), I only run autocad on the new mac as this will be the primary station and the old mac used for primarily for admin & accounts. I have also recently discovered that it is possible to rent autocad licences for £300p/a which may also be another option (3)!
I previously had a problem where my hard drive failed on my mac & lost all data on the internal hard drive, luckily I had been backing up all data regularly to my external hard drive and now loss occurred! Obviously with any new system I want to ensure that my data is safe!
I currently utilise about 250GB of data for business operations but this will obviously grow with time.
In the future I would like to have the option of potentially being able to access the network data remotely via macbook pro whilst abroad although at this stage this really isnt my primary objective. Although I believe I could achieve this through apple remote desktop.
I suppose I should provide some information with regard to the required speed of the system...I regularly open 50-100 photos at the same time totalling around 250-500MB. I would like the system to be able to handle this fairly easily.
I have been trawling through forums and to be honest they are totally confusing me. I have also spent time on the phone to the apple business team and have also discussed my objectives with a member of the apple team in store.
There have been various options advised to me and I really do not know which is the most appropriate route forward.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!

Hi sblemings,
Welcome to the community.
I think with your scenario you should ask yourself, how complicated do you want the setup to be and how much time would you have to be able to resolve an issue should one occur with this setup.
All the options that have been advised would work but they come with complexity and therefore time.
1 - Using a mac mini as the file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the mac mini to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
2 - Using a time capsule as a file server and linking the 2 mac devices to this and backing up the TC to an external hard drive to ensure no loss of data.
3 - Using the new mac hard drive and linking the 2 macs via thunderbolt (old mac does not have thunderbolt and so I guess I would need another new mac?!) and then backing up the data to a time capsule.
4 - Using a RAID based server and linking the 2 no. macs.
Sorry to ramble but any advice really would be greatly received!
option 1
Would be a way to achieve what you want, it would centralise your files and you would only need to backup your file server (as long as all the files you wanted backed up were on it). This could be achieved either using the client and sharing various folders or using Server which would give you more options than you would possibly need.
option 2
This is exactly like option 1 except that you wouldn't have to administer another mac however you may limit any future growth.
option 3
This option I probably wouldn't pick, you could achieve this with firewire and use a firewire to thunderbolt adapter (saves you having to buy a new iMac)
option 4
This option would, depending on your RAID level, give you disk redundancy but remember you would still need to back this up, as RAID is NOT a backup solution.
I would also ask is there a pressing need to keep the old iMac in service and complicating things by having a server / NAS? Could you not just transfer all your information over to this and continue with the one backup? I would say that doing it this was would be the simplest way of achieving what you want from what I can take from your question.
As for remotely accessing your data, if you have the right hardware the way to achieve this would be to use a VPN and connect back to your data. However a potentially easier way for you ,would be to use a service like logmein or teamviewer to connect back.
Hope this helps, and by all means any questions please ask.

HT201301 I see some iOS apps in the file sharing list for my iPad device but I do not see the same APP on the file sharing list of my other iOS device

There are some iOS apps appear in the file sharing list of my iPad that does not appear in my iPhone file sharing list. Why is that and why iBook App does not show on the sharing list of my iPad?

The apps which show on the file sharing section on your iPad when connected to your computer's iTunes, you have exactly the same apps installed on your iPhone - they are not separate iPad and iPhone apps that you have installed on your iPad/iPhone, and only the iPad version supports file sharing ?
For iBooks, that won't show, it doesn't support file sharing. You can add ibooks / epubs / PDFs to your computer's iTunes library (the iBooks app if you are using a Mac with OS X Mavericks on it) via File > Add To Library, and you sync them to a device via its Books tab :
If you want to copy them off the device to your computer's iTunes (to the iBooks app on Mavericks) then File > Devices > Transfer Purchases will copy them over (that will copy PDFs and epubs from the iBooks app on your device, not just ibooks).

Seeking a document management and file sharing solution for an online client portal

Hi
Late last year our developers created a Member’s Portal for a client’s website (built with WordPress) enabling Members to have a secure area for a discussion forum and crucially, secure
document storage and access, and file-sharing. The WordPress plugin chosen for the Portal was WP-Client.
We have a problem though and I wonder if you or anyone can help?
Basically, the solution was supposed to be like Dropbox or Google Drive but within the Portal but with slight differences. The problem is that the current solution we have isn’t like either
and has various flaws which make it unpopular with most members. It uses free software called kcfinder – see
http://kcfinder.sunhater.com/ as the basis for the file management systems.
So we are seeking to change the file management system. This system must do the following:
It’s got to be intuitive e.g. the action open or download must be ‘typical’ (it is not so in kcfinder you have to right click to download for instance
You must be able open an Office document (especially Word, Excel and Powerpoint) online in situ within the portal. Currently in kcfinder you have to download it.
You must be able to edit it online. Currently you have to download it, open it, edit it, re-upload it and overwrite it.
The client uses Sharepoint (I think that’s part of MS Office 365) and wants to be able to I think drag docs from there straight into the Portal file management system (I think at the moment they have to download a file from Sharepoint to their hard drive
and then upload to kcfinder.
We are currently investigating using a WP plugin for Google Drive
https://wp-glogin.com/drive/ and Google Apps for work to create some sort of file management system that meets the requirements.
However having loaded the plugin, the developer has found that two issues remain that so far defeat us:
Firstly, and this seems to be applicable to using Google Drive outside the portal as well as in it - you can’t edit Word docs online in Google Drive without creating a Google Doc. This means we get duplicate docs which we don’t want – and they’re in
the wrong format. We want Word and no duplication. The members/users don’t have time to delete and change the format back to Word. I guess the same applies to other Office docs.
Second, apparently you can’t create a new folder in Google Drive in the portal.
So my question for this forum is really what can you suggest, either as a fix to the Google Drive solution or is there a totally different plugin or set up we can use? Ideally it should
be Office-based or friendly since most of our users use Microsoft Office.
The other proviso is that it must be affordable. We/client cannot afford the $10 per user per month that some systems charge. The attractiveness of the Google option is not only the wide
use of Google Docs (notwithstanding the fact that you can't open Word in GD instead it creates a duplicate in GD) but the fact that the plugin is cheap.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
Why don't you take a look at Office Web App server which provides browser-based file viewing and editing services for Office files:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219435.aspx
It can be integrated with your customized website, and provide the ability to online view/editing Office documents..
Hope it helps.

File Sharing Webserver for Windows

Hi all,
I've a mac mini (late 2012, yosemite, server 4) with a strange problem.
I host multiple sites and use file sharing smb. When I edit a file on my mac (connected thru smb) and save it on the server, everything works fine. I can reload the site and the new/edited file is used.
When I do the same on a windows machine (same user, etc), I can open, edit and save the file but, for some reason, it doesn't work when I reload the site.
What should I do to make this also work directly on a windows machine?

Some extra info:
The difference between edited files from a mac and from a windows machine is that files from a mac have "everyone read only" and from a windows machine have "everyone no access" (besides the normal spotlight, users, etc. Those are the same).
So it seems that there's a difference in permissions based on mac/windows, even with the same user?

Have iTunes 10.2.2 the "File Sharing" tab for apps is missing.

I have recently purchases an iPod Touch. I have a PDF reader app and a eBook reading app. I cannot add any files because there is no "file sharing" window at the bottom of the apps tab. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

A few dozen have looked so I may not be alone. Yet no one has offered a suggestion? I am still at 10.2.2.214 and iPhone on iOS 4.2.1. iTunes takes very long time to open 3+ minutes and does not respond when device connected then fails to see any device connnected. Will Apple address or fail to fiind this issue? two years ago a few months passed and few upgrades then iPhone was recognized. All worked fine until last month with10.2 update. What are my options here? Please I have gone through ideas presented here for amonth, get one or two to work for a day and then fail after that. I would like to get stable operation of iTnes and then I'll leave things alone. I really do find the 3GS a good buy right now but, with no iTunes why buy it?

Question on File Sharing Settings For Windows 7

Should be a simple question. Am just switching over from Windows 2000, SQL 2000, IIS 6, and CF7 TO: Win 7 SP1 64-bit, SQL 2008, CF 9 and IIS 7.
Just installed IIS 7.5 on the new Win 7 machine (my development PC for creating/testing CF pages), and included the IIS 6 compatibility components. However, web pages are not being displayed.
Question: With Windows 7, do you have to remove the checkmark in Folder Options for "USE SHARING WIZARD", as you had to do with Windows XP's "SIMPLE FILE SHARING"?
In WinXP, by removing SIMPLE FILE SHARING, it brought up the WEB SHARING tab when you right-clicked a folder, allowing you to run your local web pages. Is this how it should be with Windows 7, in order to get my "localhost" web pages to dispay?
Lastly, if I do need to make this change, will it have any impact on File Sharing settings I've already made with my router, to allow FILE SHARING between laptop and desktop, via the router?
Thanks much for the advice.
Gary

File sharing permissions for AD Domain Admins?

I've binded Mavericks to a Windows network with Active Directory, turned on File Sharing under System Preferences > Sharing, and added the Domain Admins group; how can I configure permissions so that the Domain Admins can read and write to and from all files and folders on the MAC HD without affecting other user's permissions?
If I "apply to enclosed items..." the Domain Admins' Read & Write permissions from the root volume then Everyone (gets unintentionally propagated) can access all files!
Ideally, the Domain Admins need the same permissions as the root administrator even after a new user has logged onto the MAC and had their Home Folders created in the future; In other words I need them to be able to access files and folders for all accounts past, present and future, but all other user's access must stay the same. Does that make sense?
Is this even possible with AD binding? Would having a MAC OSX Server/Open Directory facilitate this better?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I tried adding the Domain Admins to the wheel group, but that never helped either. Also the "apply to enclose items" only seems to work for the entire share (left side)--not individual users or groups (right sde).

After upgrade to maverick - file sharing ask for permission to open files

after updating to maverick. my files i share with my office pc. can't open the document & ask for permission from the computer or administrator for asstiance. very time i have open up info and push "apply to enclosed items". for to get these to open and work. worked fine before maverick. seems its not to keepping the sharing and permission info. need help! plus I have tryed to use it in drop box ,plus in other folders but they all seem to be doing the same thing. Or do I have to go back to mountain lion or lion?

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.

Detect Files or Directories for a remote server

Hi, I need to write an application to list the directories and files for a remote server, given a URL: http://<IP>/, the dirtectory tree looks like this:
dir1/ subdir1/subsubdir1/files4
files3
subdir2/
subdir3/
files1
files2
I have some functions like changing directory (cd), return back (cd ..) etc. and open applications for files. My questions is .. how to detect whehter this is a directory or file (e.g. http://<IP>/dir1/subdir1 and http://<IP>/dir1/files1 ),
also, if I am now at http://<IP>/dir1, how can I know that I am now at the top of the tree and need to lock the (cd ..) function?

HTTP URLs don't have a directory structure, although the way they are formatted looks like they do. Also, HTTP requests will normally not return something that maps to a directory, but if it does you will get an HTML page listing things in the directory. (Most sites disable this function.)
I think you should go back and review why you think you need this. If you're trying to write a web spider, for example, that isn't how you do it.

File Sharing scheme for students/teachers/staff?

Hi,
I've recently inherited administration of an Xserve running OS X Server 10.5.8. I have a specific need for teaching staff to access the home folders of students via network shares. Ideally in groups - i.e. the home folders of students in Class A, the home folders of students in Class B etc. Of course students can be in both classes or just one. So, teacher chooses share "ClassA" and it lists the home folders, with access rights for r&w.
Any suggestions on how to set this up?
If later versions of the OS make this easier please let me know how.
Thanks!

Hi
You can have as many home folders as you like. However you can specify only one in the Home tab and that would be the one the student logs in with. This will also be the one the student saves their work in. Unless I've completely misunderstood your OP why grant teachers access to two folders when only one of them is being used?
You're going to have to re-think your home folder structure perhaps? You can make any student a member of multiple groups if you wish. You can create Group folders for each Class Group and again define access in a similar way. Group folders can be shared and made to automount on student login. There are a number of ways of doing this but students can be 'taught' to create a folder based on their name within the Group folder. As they create these folders they will automatically be given appropriate POSIX permissions making each user the owner with full access and everyone else read only. Adding an appropriate read/write ACL for the teacher group and propagating the ACL permission for that Group folder should give you what you want?
Once you begin to understand the permissions models available (server and client) and how they can be used in conjunction with each other as well as defining a simpler shared folder structure it will begin to make sense. I'm guessing here but assuming your background is Windows it would be a mistake to approach this the same way you would if this was a Active Directory environment.

Reseting File Sharing Preferences for admin account

Hello:
Was recently trying to network my macbook with my brothers Vista laptop.
Followed a few websites, could get his pc to access my mac but couldn't access the PC.
At any rate -- now I have been getting a lot of permission errors on my macbook.
I repaired permissions via disk utility. Still -- some folders are randomly loading up as read-only and I have to change them to read/write in getinfo.
Is there anyway to reset my sharing preference pane? Or at the very least stop the random permission errors.
Haven't had an OS issue prior to this.
thanks.

Chr,
why not use a Group Policy?

Permissions for file sharing to Windows users

Greetings, I would be very pleased if someone could help me with file sharing permissions for Windows users of a Mac mini file server running Snow Leopard 10.6.1 (not server).
I have a folder in my root directory, lets call it Project, that holds a series of 10 sub folders, say 1 through 10. Some of my users I wish to have read/write access to the whole Project directory, and, having enabled file sharing in System Preferences (and SMB for Windows), I did cmd to get info on the Project folder, ticked sharing, added the users (whose user accounts I had replicated on the Mac from their Windows machines), gave them read/write access, and then was able to map a drive to Project in their machines. All good so far, notwithstanding an hour tussle with a Vista laptop . The other user 'groups' were set the following permissions: me - read/write; Admin - read/write; Everyone - no access; which seemed sensible.
Then, when I wanted to only share say sub folders 4, 5 and 6 with other users, who will not have access to the whole Project directory, things were not as straight forward. I followed the same procedure as above, but for the particular sub folders. However, I think they are only able to see them if I provide read or read/write access for Everyone to the parent Project directory. This of course then lets them at least see all the other folders I do not want to share with them. I don't seem to be able to remove the Everyone group from the Project directory, which occurred to me might resolve this.
Any thoughts? Thanks.

"On the way down, it seems to me that you still can prevent that user from using folders that he or she is not supposed to use by setting appropriate permissions."
I don't think this is the case. If I allow someone read & write access to a folder because they need to have read & write access to two of three subfolders, I cannot deny them (at least) read access to the third folder.
In respect of a particular folder:
1. You can only assign read; read & write; or write (drop box) to an individual user; and
2. You can only assign No Access to everyone.
Do I need to use Snow Leopard Server to be able to assign No Access to a particular folder for an individual user?
