Premission settings for users creating files and folder on my XServe

I am setting up a new Xserve and we are basically using it as a file server. I have a user that logs on creates and new folder and a file. When any one else opens that file it is READ ONLY. What do I need to do to make it so when any of my users create a file or folder on the server any one of my users can have READ/WRITE permission to the files?

Can you elaborate? I am not aware of any m3u playlist being present but maybe there is. I have done this many times before. I move tons of files around in my music folder, add/delete/change, and rather than have iTunes try to figure it all out again, I just remove everything out of iTunes and add my entire folder back. I've done it probably 50 times in the past and now, when I do it, it's creating playlists for every single folder or album or something, just as the original poster has described. I do not like the behavior and would like to turn it off now! I'm on Mac so iTunes Folder Watch will not work for me. Any suggestions?

File and folder permissions for Adobe Photoshop CS5

Good day,
I am an IT specialist and I work for a Canadian governement agency and we are having an issue with Photoshop CS5. After successfully installing Photoshop CS5 from the Adobe Creative Suite 5 Design Premium set(using a local machine administrator account), Photoshop crashes immidiatly after launching it(even with the local administrator account). The exact error message is as follows:
The instruction at "0x230dad8dc" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on CANCEL to debug the program
I know this is an environement issue and not an application or hardware issue since I was able to successfully install and run Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a plain vanilla install of Windows SP3 XP on the same model of workstation(HP DC7800). This later also confirms it is not a RAM or video adapter issue either. My experience tells me it would be more related to file/folder permissions on the workstation(although I'm open to other suggestions). Because we are a governement agency, our workstations have machine and user policies and desktop configurations that get applied to the workstations automatically upon joining our domain via GPOs and SMS. Certain system files and folder permissions may be locked down for security reasons therefor I was wondering is someone has a list of files and folders that Adobe CS5 needs access to upon startup in order to properly function?
If anyone would like more details or information please let me know and I'll try to be more specific.
Thanks in advance to all who take the time to read and help out!

I appreciate that you're trying to surmise what's different, and it's good that you have had success with similar/identical hardware. At least you know it can work.
However, I wouldn't bet just yet that it's a permissions issue. I'd think you should get a specific error if a locked-down file needed to be accessed, not a null pointer crash. The Photoshop installer should be setting up the proper permissions on its own files for it to run.
Is it exactly the same video card as the other computer, on which Photoshop works?
Are you sure the video drivers are up to date with the same version as on the other computer?
At exactly what point during startup does the failure occur (i.e., is the splash screen showing, and what does the status line in the splash screen say it's doing)?

How to get the user created at and modified at properties for a site collection using powershell

Hi guys, I Know how to get the list of users of a site collection by Get-SPUser cmdlet but hte problem is that this cmdlet doesnt give me the user Created at and modifed at properties

Get the User Information list and then get the user from that list

Windows server 2008r2 files and folder auditing.

Hi ,I want to Monitor files and folder with auditing in 2008r2 like write,read,delete etc..
Can you please help me on that.
Thanks in advance for your support.
Thanks,
Bhautik Shah

Hello,
this must be enabled on the folder you like to monitor. Steps in the following thread from the same question are still valid:
Enabling file auditing is a 2-step process.
[1] Configure "audit object access" in AD Group Policy or on the server's local GPO. This setting is located under Computer Configuration-->Windows Settings-->Security Settings-->Local Policies-->Audit Policies. Enable success/failure auditing
for "Audit object access."
[2] Configure an audit entry on the specific folder(s) that you wish to audit. Right-click on the folder-->Properties-->Advanced. From the Auditing tab, click Add, then enter the users/groups whom you wish to audit and what actions you wish to audit
- auditing Full Control will create an audit entry every time anyone opens/changes/closes/deletes a file, or you can just audit for Delete operations.
After you've done both of these steps, any file deletions will show up in the Security log of the file server that hosts those files.

Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac work with OSX Server?

Hi There
I wonder if I should install OSX Server on an iMac wher several users work on the same files and folders.
My question - before I do something I might regret:
Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac within several users really work with the help of OSX Server?
All I want to be able to do:
Admin creates a new folder1 and gives it read- and write access for user1 and user2.
User1 creates a subfolder1 in folder1, and a document1 in subfolder1.
User2 edits document1. Later Admin edits document1.
All these simple editing of files and folders (and subfolders) within a main folder should be possible. This is not possible now.
Is everything clear? I'm not a network specialist or something, I just want to give some co-workers access to some data on my computer without problems.

So what you need are recursive permissions.
I suggest you create a group and add user1 and user2 to that group. You can name that group whatever you want, but for now i will call it FSUsers
Execute this in terminal. Replace FSUsers with your new group
sudo chmod -R +a "FSUsers allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextat tr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/*
Replace /Users/Shared with the location of your shared folder. Make sure you keep the /* at the end (this allows all subfolders and files to get the same permissions.
If you need to add people to the share just add them to the FSUsers group, the FSUsers group should should also be allowed in the sharing preferences.

Prevent using special characters in file and folder names?

I've recently begun adding windows clients to my network. In doing so, I've found that on my file shares from OS X server, the windows clients are unable to see files and folders which have names containing special characters such as / ? < > \ : * | ”
Unfortunately my accounting department has been creating files with these characters in their names for several years. I would like to find if there is a way to prevent them from using a defined set of characters in the file and folder names to prevent them from "accidentally" doing so in the future.
I've found that by turning off streams support on SMB in OS X server, that my windows clients can at least see that a file or folder should exist, albeit with a corrupted file name. Removing the special characters from these names allows the proper name to become visible and the file accessible.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.

PS: basically it's not a url encoding issue.
I can url encode "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu",
and pass it in a url query string. But my issue is not
with an url query string, it's with an actual URL, that is,
the actual name of the directory. It
can't be "ça alors: it's a déjà-vu". But I
want to allow the user to name their directory like that
if they want. So I need a way to encode this into characters
that can be used for an actual
directory on the server.

Use Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining destination contents

I have been struggling trying to setup Automator to move files and folder structure to another folder, retaining the destination contents. Basically, I need to add files at the destination, within the same folder structure that exists at the source. Here's some details about the scenario:
-I have PDF files that I create on a seperate computer than I my daily use machine
-For security reasons, the source computer doesn't have access to any shares on the destination computer
-The destination computer has access to shares on the source computer
-I want to delete the original PDFs at the source after they are moved or copied
I haven't been able to get Automator to move or copy the folder contents (files and subfolders) without dropping everything copied at the top level of the destination, resulting in many duplicate folders and a broken folder structure.
So far I've only had luck getting this to work at the command line, but I'd really like to have this setup in Automator so that I could have either a service or application that I could use for any folder, prompting for the source and destination folders. I'm a relatively new Mac user with limited Linux experience, so this is the command that I've cobbled together and currently accomplishes what I'm looking for:
ditto /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE ~/Desktop/Documents/DESTINATION
cd /Volumes/SMB_Temp/SOURCE
find . -type f -name "*.pdf" -exec rm -f {} \;
Thanks for any ideas!

If you have a command-line syntax that works, why not just create an Automator workflow with a single 'Utilities -> Run Shell Script' action, where that action has your (working) shell commands?
Seems way, way simpler to me than trying to reinvent the wheel and transcribe shell commands into individual Automator actions

Applescript: choose file AND folder (multiple selection allowed)

Hi all;
is there any way to select files and folder with and apple script?
I'm trying to write something to compress some stuff and I'd need this stuff to be both files and folders at once…
Thank you!

Plain AppleScript doesn't have that kind of dialog, but you can access various Cocoa methods in Snow Leopard and Lion. In Lion, you create a Cocoa-AppleScript Applet from a template in the AppleScript Editor, where you can use AppleScriptObjC statements. Since the script can only be run in the application and not the AppleScript Editor though, it is a little bit of a pain to troubleshoot - Shane Stanley has written an ASObjC Runner background application that can be run from the AppleScript Editor, if you wanted to check that out.
Running the Cocoa-AppleScript template, you can use something like the following - see the NSOpenPanel Class Reference for other methods and settings:
set defaultDirectory to POSIX path of (path to desktop) -- a place to start
tell current application's NSOpenPanel's openPanel()
setFloatingPanel_(true)
setTitle_("Choose some stuff:")
setPrompt_("Choose") -- the button name
setDirectoryURL_(current application's NSURL's URLWithString_(defaultDirectory))
setCanChooseFiles_(true)
setCanChooseDirectories_(true)
setShowsHiddenFiles_(false)
setTreatsFilePackagesAsDirectories_(false)
setAllowsMultipleSelection_(true)
set theResult to it's runModal() as integer -- show the panel
if theResult is current application's NSFileHandlingPanelCancelButton then quit -- cancel button
set theFiles to URLs() as list
end tell
repeat with X from 1 to (count theFiles) -- coerce the file paths in place
set (item X of theFiles) to (item X of theFiles)'s |path|() as text -- as POSIX file
end repeat
choose from list theFiles
if result is false then quit

How to set password for a zip file and should be checked when reading that

Hi friends,

thanks.
Praveen Reddy.J

Heyy man, i think, u did not get my problem.
all i have to do is:
i have to create a zip file, and we should secure it with password when creating. and whenever the user wants to open that zip file he should provide correct passowrd otherwise he could not read that file. So, we should check for that also.
Tanks for reply.

Settings for USER MASTER in PRINTING?

In The tcode : CO02 for Prod Order , I specify under menu path : Order-settings-listcontrol-for Lp01 printer : 0909 . In the user master record the printer SPLD is 7205. I want that the printer setting on the screen ( 0909 ) should override the settings for user. So , I went to tcode opk8 and in the Print COntrol -> selected output device = 2 ( 1 is for user , 3 is for print control ) . I tried to print the form riding the user master setting , but it is not working . WHen i go and check the Print Determination : I see that it populates the print control from User master only ?
Any idea how can i override this setting ?
note : this List Control calls a Zprogram that calls a Smartform .

Hi Divya,
you can use tcode opk8 to create new entries under : Refernce Order Types -> Print Programs and can specify your driver prog name there which will call your smartform .
You can also do setting for each List Type you create in : the : Spool Parameter for user . there you can specify properties of list based on : User name or on the Plant level .
In the driver program i did something like this :
read table caufvd_tab index 1.
case caufvd_tab-werks.
    when '7200'.
      i_formname = 'ZSF_OBJECT_LIST'.
    when '9200'.
      i_formname = 'ZSF_OBJECT_LIST'.
    when others.
      i_formname = 'ZSF_OBJECT_LIST'.
endcase.
Hope this helps . If you have any queries let me know .
Thanks

Mac CAN't Cut files and folder???

i'm new Mac user!
My Mac CAN't Cut files and folder! is it normal? just copy, then delete orig.
or use drag with OPT key. But i can't use CMD+X or CUT in EDIT menu.

I have been having the same problem, and thought it was just me. Had the same problem with deleting files/folders in Finder...till I found you have to hold the cmd key down while deleting.
Was hoping there was a keyboard shortcut for copy as well.
Really infuriating, what would be a CMD-X, move mouse, CMD-V operation becomes a copy, navigate to new folder/move to new window, paste, go back to other window, re select and delete operation.
My work around is to use Windows Explorer in unity mode in VMWareFusion if I am doing any major search/move/cut operations.
Saves having to have multiple windows open/going back/forwards, between them.
I did see a terminal hack that enabled the CMD-X keyboard shortcut....but it just deletes to the Trash Bin and does not actually paste the items back.
Can understand the reasons nerowolfe states, but that does not stop it from being b**y annoying

Default File and Folder Permissions

Hello everyone,
Is there anyway to set a default file/folder permissions for a parent folder and then if any new files or folders get created within that folder that files use 0644 and folder use 0755? I'm running MAMP for a localhost test site to run Joomla CMS, I have the parent folder set to 0755 but when ever I install a new extension in to Joomla the files are not writable. Is there a way I can set the main parant plublic_html / www folder to work like this for new child files and folders?
Thanks guys.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

QTSS file and folder permissions

I am having a lot of problems getting QTSS and QTSS Publisher working correctly. I think this may be due to file and folder permissions. Does anyone know what the correct ownership and access settings should be for the folders containing my quicktime files?
Thanks.

Try setting the ownership and permissions of those files to the ones mentioned on the end of this page, which are: owner: qtss, group: admin, permissions for owner and group: Read & Write, and Read only for others.

How to restore file and folder labels

Apple does it again. File and folder lables gone and little colored dots take their place. Apple at least give users the choice. That's choice, spelled C-H-O-I-C-E!!!

http://www.trankynam.com/xtrafinder/
Hopefully that may work on your Mac. NOW, This is a Design/Ease of Use as well as a Efficiency/Workflow issue. I am using an IMac, c 2012 recently upgraded from 10.8.6 to the current version of Mavericks. Please restore Finder labels. Give us a CHOICE. All your young eyes don't see things the way us folks who are 60-something do. I have been using a Mac for 20 years. You removed colored folders before & restored before. Do it AGAIN. This is terrible. & ALSO, why does TextEdit print SO LARGE? It used to reduce the doc to try to fit it in on the paper. Now it makes the same documents PAGES LONG. I can't seem to make it work as before. For God's sake, bring back colored folders. Its not just me. I have time to complain. EVERYBODY I know hates the little colored dots. They do not serve the same purpose as Tags. Even the major professors at FIT NYC, the college I am an adjunct at, for the last 30 years. Why, for the FIRST time in my 18 year relationship to Macs, do I feel compelled to use plug in??? Is that the only way to get my colored folders again??? I hate the way the screen slips to the side also, and windows maximize with the slip of the mouse, also. Get it together Apple!

Open module for managing property file and environment variables

Looking for an open module for managing property files and environment variables (like CLASSPATH) set in a shell script. For handeling properties (preserving comments, supporting includes, appending new entries, and more) I have looked at SuperProperties from openadaptor but find certain functionality lacking. As for interfacing with common shell scripts/files containing setting for CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME, other system/application variables another type of object editor is needed. Maybe JFIG?
Any ideas are greatly welcomed.

You seem wright, you hit a brick wall here with Air to find the location
of the command console on windows...
So in fact I never build an exe tool, but this little problem was a nice
case to test it and I tried it.:
I downloaded monodevelop
-GTK# for .NET 2.12.10*
-MonoDevelop 2.4.2*
from http://monodevelop.com/Download
created a console project and had an exe in 5 minutes !
You can download the findconsole tool and the projectfiles here:
http://greencollective.nl/temp/dump/findconsole_monoproject.zip
findconsole.exe will reveal the path/location of cmd.exe on a windows system.
Cheers,
Latcho
