Files on my server are being renamed randomly

About three months ago I started working on a Power PC G5. Ever since some of my files and folders on my company's server have been randomly renamed. For example: I will have a file that was named "red-blue logo.eps" and it is now named "MLF767~k.eps". It still has the appropriate Adobe Illustrator icon. There are cases were the file "kind" is listed as "Unix Executable File"
I noticed that in the pasted some of the files were labeled as follows: "logo.blue.eps" or "logo/blue.eps". I have been told in the past that putting "." and "/" in file names can cause problems.
CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP

Hi tommyboy56-
My bad. I misread and thought that the server was running on the G5.
It sounds like a Windows server of some sort that is truncating your long file names to an 8 character name. You should talk to the IT person about that, but it may be simply a matter of you using 8 characters or less in your file name.

  • Jar files downloaded from SkyDrive are being renamed to jar.zip files

    I have cut and pasted the following series of exchanges from when I posted the problem onto SkyDrive's support forum. I hope that someone might be able to propose a better solution to the problem that I have. Thanks for your help.

    Uploaded jar files convert to jar.zip files when downloaded from SkyDrive
    I have uploaded an executable jar file to SkyDrive. (I will call this FILE.jar). The file is intact and indicates that it is a jar file type when the file is viewed by Properties within Skydrive. However, when I download (or others download through a share link) the file, it is being saved onto the local computer's download file with .zip appended to the file name (FILE.jar.zip). The downloaded file can be renamed to remove the .zip appendage and subsequently run successfully. However the folder options for the folder where the downloaded file resides must be changed for disable "Hide known file extensions" prior to being able to remove the .zip appendage. While I have figured out the workaround for this problem, this manual renaming procedure is entirely too cumbersome as a solution for sharing this file with others. How can I prevent or disable the FILE.jar file from being renamed to FILE.jar.zip when it is downloaded from SkyDrive?

    The file was uploaded by first logging onto my SkyDrive account using Windows 7 Pro and Firefox browser, then a new folder in my account was created without sharing privileges, then the folder was opened and the FILE.jar was uploaded into the folder using the "Upload" option on skydrive account menu. Sharing privileges for FILE.jar were then created (view only), and the shortened url link was sent to the individuals that I was trying to share the file with. was then turned on. When these people use the link to download the file, it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip.
    When I try to download the file through the skydrive account download option, it is being saved onto my computer as FILE.jar.zip and this occurs when I try to download the file while signed into my skydrive account as well as when I am not signed into my skydrive account (using the shared file link).
    This PNG shows the information provided by clicking on the download icon (down arrow) within the Firefox browser; note that the file was downloaded as FILE.jar.zip and that the source was live.com. When I use Windows Explorer to look at the same file within the Download folder itself, examining the file's properties details also shows that it is being saved as FILE.jar.zip and is of the file type compressed zip folder.
    This PNG shows the information displayed to me from my skydrive account when I view the originally uploaded file's properties; note that the information shows that the file is a jar file type.
    When I utilize Internet Explorer 9 to access the file, FILE.jar is being downloaded onto my computer as a jar file type. This PNG shows the information provided by Tools/View Downloads within the IE9 browser. Note that in this instance, the information indicates that the file is being downloaded from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
    It appears to me that the problem (the FILE.jar file being renamed to FILE.jar.zip) arises from the fact that a jar file downloaded from skydrive using firefox, is being sent from live.com whereas a jar file downloaded from skydrive using IE9 is being sent from yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
    I want to make sure that a person receiving a share link from me for FILE.jar is able to download it without modification to the file name regardless of which browser is being using to access the link. How can I make sure that this occurs?
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi MDSms,
    I appreciate you for providing as much information as you can about the issue, as well as for uploading screenshots on what you see from the downloaded file. About your initial concern wherein the file gets renamed with .zip after the original file extension, this is solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented.
    Moreover, you may see the file servers live.com and yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com to be different with one another, but they actually are sent from the same SkyDrive server. This in turn, depends on the web browser where the file is being downloaded as well. The live.com file where it was downloaded from Firefox simply masks its original server yzudea.blu.livefilestore.com.
    As for your last query about your recipients downloading the file without the hassle of renaming it from a .zip file, you can simply tell them to download it through Internet Explorer.
    Should you have other queries or additional information that might help in our investigation, I highly encourage you to post them here.
    Regards,
    Michelle

    Michelle,
    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I could simply tell them to download the file through Internet Explorer, but is there another solution or workaround to the problem I have described here? Am I being punished with the curse of this problem simply because I (or the individuals with which I wish to share FILE.jar with) choose to use Firefox instead of IE? Will the use of any other browser instead of IE (Chrome, Safari, etc., etc.) still result in the same problem?
    You stated that it is "solely dependent on the browser that you are using since they have a different safety/security measure that needs to be implemented"........could the problem be overcome by designating one or both of the file server addresses as Trusted Sites within the browser options setting?
    I look forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

    Hi MDSms,
    We understand your concern. Since the issue does not occur in Internet Explorer, it has something to do with Firefox's security feature. You might want to verify this concern by contacting Firefox support.
    Hope this helps. Let us know if we can further assist you with SkyDrive.

  • Some files in Time Machine are being locked

    I run Mountain Lion 10.8.4 on a Mac Mini 2012. Over the past year or so (dating back to my older iMac mid-2010, after which I transferred the data to my current Mac Mini), I've noticed that most of my files in Time Machine are getting locked. The files on my Mac are not locked, but the backed-up versions of the files are locked. The icons have a padlock icon on them. This is NOT due to the "auto-lock documents" feature, since this no longer exists in Mountain Lion.
    For instance, my Firefox profile is a good example. Here are two screenshots:
    1. Screenshot of my Firefox profile. Everything looks fine.
    2. The same profile, except the latest Time Machine backup.
    These locks appear in every single backup I have, up until the oldest one. I ran "Repair disk" on Time Machine, which took about 30 minutes, and then made another backup, and this time the newest backup did not have any locks—but all the older backups still had locks. I found this a bit strange, because why would a backup I made AFTER running "Repair disk" be fixed, but the older ones remained unaffected?
    Anyway, I hoped that this would fix the problem, but every time I do this, a few weeks later, the problem re-occurs.
    So, is there anything more permanent that I can do?

    Hey man,
    Some things I'd be looking at trying is:
    ---> Reset ACL's
    Boot to Recovery -> Utilities -> Terminal
    Then enter the following command to open the Reset Password Utility:
    resetpassword
    Then select the volume (normally Macintosh HD)
    Choose the user account in the "Select the user account:" pop-up menu
    Click Reset (ignore all the 'enter new password for user' sections and just click reset at the bottom after selecting the volume and the user
    Once that is done, quit Terminal and the Reset Password Utility
    Open Disk Utility
    ---> Verify/Repair Disk + Permissions
    Click Macinosh HD on the left of Disk Utility and then click Verify Disk at the bottom right, if it comes up with green text in the white box saying 'The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK', then you DO NOT need to click Repair Disk, if it finds any errors, you should click Repair Disk
    Afterwards, you should click Verify Disk Permissions, once that completes click Repair Disk Permissions (Click this regardless of what Verify Disk Permissions says)
    Once that is done, I would follow HT2409 and do a Spotlight Re-Index
    Attempt another backup and see how you get on

  • Do not disconnect show continually.  Error message is files on the ipod are being used by another program

    I get the "Do not disconnect" message all the time.  When I try to eject the ipod the error message is that the ipod can not be disconnected because it is in use with an other application.  I turn off all antivirus protection and the same result.  I can not find what other application is accessing the ipod.  The only way I can disconnect is to go to the drive that it is assigned to, and do an eject.  The unit will sync properly but will not eject for itunes.

  • Downloaded from Mail .pdfs being renamed

    I noticed that some .pdfs I'm downloading in the mail from a client with some specific names to help me determine when I post them in iWeb whether it's the password-protected .pdf or the non-password protected .pdf are being renamed using the client's email name and numbers instead of the name he sent them. I see the correct item in the mail, but after it's downloaded it is a completely different name. How can I stop that?

When attaching, in any fashion, via all methods, jpeg files of 6GB+ they are being sent and received as 70KB+/- attachments? Have a I missed some simple setting or is this a function of iPhoto.

  • Random Records are being skipped while uploading data in PSA from CSV File

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing issue in data uploading in PSA through CSV file, Random Records are being skipped while uploading data in PSA.
    First Load
    We have flat file (.txt in CSV format), which contains 380240 Records.
    We are uploading the flat file data into PSA from Application Server. But it uploads Only 380235 records, 5 Records are being skipped.
    Second Load
    We have re-generated same file next day, which contains same No of Records (380240), but this time it uploads Only 380233 records, 7 Records are being skipped.
    We found 1 skipped record (based on key columns combination, by cross verifying from source and PSA table) from First load. But same records (combination of key column) is available in second load. It means same records are not being skipped every time.
    Earlier (5 months ago) , We have loaded 641190 Records from flat file in same PSA and all records (641190) were uploaded successfully.
    There is no change is Source, PSA and flat file structure.
    Thanks & Regards
    Bijendra

    Hi Bijendra,
        Please check in the file if at the begining if it has got any excape sign then that record may be skipped so the records may be mssing
    Please check the excape sign like ; if they are present at the beginign that recor entirely will be skipped.
    Regards

  • JNLP and jar files are being download from server again.

    I have a swing application deployed with Java Web Start on a server.
    On my client I install the application using JWS JRE 1.6.
    The issue is that without any change in the jars or JNLP the jars are being downloaded from the server again and again
    This is not consistant - it happens only sometimes.
    One important thing to mention: The server is inside a load-balancer cluster (AKAMAI), so the IP address of the actual server may change between different accesses.
    in the log, I can see the error:
    "Cache entry not found"
    and then the jar is being downloaded again.
    sometimes only one or two jars were downloaded again, sometimes the whole package with the JNLP file were dowloaded again.
    Can you suggest what can be the reason for this behavior?
    Thank you,
    Ran

    That does seem slow, but there are many factors that could be involved. More information would be helpful:
    - Are the source and destination filesystems ZFS or UFS? (or some other FS)
    - What does iostat show you?
    - What does vmstat show you?
    - What type of HBAs connect you to the SAN? ('fcinfo hba-port')
    - Anything in /var/adm/messages?

    What is the OS version of the PC you are running  and is it physical machine or virtual machine that is running the HRC client ..
    OS Version Windows 7 Home Premium  64 bit and it’s a physical machine.
    . The Max DB Connections for Report Client Sessions is set to 5 for each servers (There are two servers). The no of HR Sessions is set to 10.
    I wanted to know if there is a way to find the HRC sessions active now and terminate the one or more or all of that sessions from the server end ? 

    We have had this "PRX5" problem with Exchange 2013 since the RTM version.  We recently applied CU3, and it did not correct the problem.  We have seen this problem on every Exchange 2013 we manage.  They are all installations where all roles
    are installed on the same Windows server, and in our case, they are all Windows virtual machines using Windows 2012 Hyper-V.
    We have tried all the "this fixed it for me" solutions regarding DNS, network cards, host file entries and so forth.  None of those "solutions" made any difference whatsoever.  The occurrence of the temporary error PRX5 seems totally random. 
    About 2 out of 20 incoming mail test by Microsoft Connectivity Analyzer fail with this PRX5 error.
    Most people don't ever notice the issue because remote mail servers retry the connection later.  However, telephone voice mail systems that forward voice message files to email, or other such applications such as your scanner, often don't retry and
    simply fail.  Our phone system actually disables all further attempts to send voice mail to a particular user if the PRX5 error is returned when the email is sent by the phone system.
    Is Microsoft totally oblivious to this problem?
    PRX5 is a serious issue that needs an Exchange team resolution, or at least an acknowledgement that the problem actually does exist and has negative consequences for proper mail flow.

  • How to rename a file in Application server

    Hi All,
    Here I have a issue with  the present file which is being generated in application server.
    Before the completion of the file the EDI tool is extracting the file from the app server.So here I would like to generate the file with a temp name and then rename to the actual file name which EDI recognises and fetches.
    Please correct me If I am wrong and let me know how to rename the file in application server.
    Thanks,
    Vijay N

    you can try using unix command , if your application server is unix.
    use move command
    mv   <source>  <target>
    REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
                    no standard page heading.
    data: unixcom like   rlgrap-filename.  
    unixcom = 'mv file1 file2'.
    data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
            line(400),
          end of tabl.
    data: lines type i.
    start-of-selection.
      refresh tabl.
      call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
                    id 'TAB'     field tabl[].
    or else you can open dataset/ read the dataset and move it to another file and delete the old file.

  • Universal installer: certain files are being used by one or more appl.

    2) Reboot the machine
    3) Rename back to $ORACLE_HOME\bin
