All files in a shared folder don't have permissions

I have two users on my mac and am having some issues with sharing files. I created a shared folder and gave the other user read/write permissions. When I log in as that user, the folder can be accessed, but some of the files in that folder cannot be accessed. These are all photos, and for the most part I'm dropping them into the shared folder from iPhoto.
I tried it again by using the Public folder with the same result. However, there isn't consistency with the actual files that don't have permission. In other words, the shared folder I created may have a file that does not have permission, but that same file does have permission when I dropped it in the Public folder. So it is totally random as to which files in the shared folder don't have permission to be accessed.
I also tried to simply drag the files to the other user. Same result.
Can anybody help me with this? I'm stumped as I thought once a folder was shared that all contents are accesible.

Sharing a folder does give others access to it, but it does not change the permissions of the files inside. Other users can probably read everything, but they can't modify files that they do not own unless the owner of those files has changed the permissions to allow it, or other steps have been taken to provide additional access such as the use of an Access Control List (ACL).
Apple doesn't include a GUI utility for manipulating ACLs, so your choices are to use a third-party utility such as TinkerTool System (not free) or the Terminal application. The Drop Box folder in your user's Public folder has an ACL entry that gives access to change just about everything on files that are dropped there, so a Terminal example that sets similar permissions for everyone (a particular user group can also be used) would be:
1. copy and paste the folowing into the Terminal window (there is a trailing space):
chmod -R +a "everyone allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
2. drag the desired folder into the Terminal window (this copies the path)
3. press return
Note that ACL entries only work on items that have been created in the folder - not moved there - so you should use option drag to make a new copy in the shared folder.

10.3.9 server - files copied to shared folder don't have proper permissions

When 1 user copies a file to a shared volume the next user cannot save. The copied file is read only. If I choose the enclosing folder or whole volume and propagate permissions (Copy these privileges to enclosing items) then the file is read/write as it should be but the next file copied is read only.
This started when I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the system to a new drive. I know this isn't completely kosher but I done it successfully with this same system before.
This server is still Panther because it has been on for 4.5 years and has not crashed once. It provides AFP and nothing else.
This is a creative team that is kind of freaking out so any help would be greatly appreciated..

Read text file in a shared folder in another PC

Hi All,
Is it posible to use OPEN DATASET, READ DATASET, CLOSE DATASET to read a text file in a shared folder in a another PC (Not the Application server)
Pradeep

Hi pradeep,
1. Normally any PC is restricted by username and password,
and it may happen that folders / files are not shared on that machine.
2. So there are two approaches, if we want to use
OPEN DATASET commands to read file from other machine.
a) Basis team will MAP that computer and folder
    on the application server
    at the OS Level (Unix/AIX/Windows etc)
    and that logical drive+path we can in our abap syntax
    just like we use other normal path on application server.
   This may also require the basis team to know
    the username and password of other computer for mapping purpose.
b) Another approach is we use FTP_OPEN function modules
    and other related FTP_* Fms.
   But the pre-requisite for this is that the FTP server
    should be running on the other computer.
   Also we should know the ftp username and password for it.

How to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p

how to upload a text file from a shared folder and provide an o/p containing the details in each order in the text file

Hi,
Use GUI_UPLOAD to upload a text file from a shared folder.
Use GUI_DOWNLOAD to download data in a file on the presentation server or use OPEN DATASET, TRANSFER and CLOSE DATASET statements to download data to the application server.
Now, I hope the code for data fetching, if required, is already present in the report.
Reward points if the answer is helpful.

Transfer of file to a shared folder on remote machine

Hi,
I want to transfer a file present on windows machine A to a shared folder (\\16.192.54.56\Test) on machine B having ip as 16.192.54.56, using java.
I tried using the renameTo api of File class but its not helping. It gives permission denied exception. I am able to open the shared folder from machine A using the shared folder path (\\16.192.54.56\Test) through the run command. So, that means there is no permission issue on the shared folder.
Could anybody please guide me as to how can i resolve this issue.
~Brij

Hi,
Please pardon me for not providing the complete information.
I have kind of root caused the issue. Let me explain the issue in detail.
I have a logic to move a file to a shared folder on remote machine, inside my application running on a different machine. Now when i run my application using
command prompt, the logic of moving the file to the shared folder works fine.
        try
            File fDest = new File(""\\\\15.154.52.100\\TestDir\\test");
            File fSrc = File.createTempFile("testExport", "txt");
           final int BUFFER = 2048;
           InputStream in = new FileInputStream(fSrc);
           OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(fDest);
           // Transfer bytes from in to out
           byte[] buf = new byte[BUFFER];
          int len;
          while ( (len = in.read(buf)) > 0)
              out.write(buf, 0, len);
          in.close();
         out.close();
         fSrc.delete())
        catch (Exception ex)
            ex.printStackTrace();
{code}
But when i run my application as a windows service, the logic does not work.
I noticed that when we run our application as windows service, the owner of JVM is System and it looks like it will not have Network access permission.
But, when we run our application through command prompt or as a standalone application, then the owner will be the user who started the application. This user will have the Network access permission.
Please correct me if the above assumption is correct. If this is the case then how can i make my application (running as windows service), to have network access permission.

After upgrading to Aperture 3 I had to 'upgrade' all files. When this was done, there was an Aperture 3 library and the original Aperture 2 library. Are the two libraries identical and can I safely trash the Aperture 2 library?

After upgrading to Aperture 3 I had to 'upgrade' all files. When this was done, there was an Aperture 3 library and the original Aperture 2 library. Are the two libraries identical and can I safely trash the Aperture 2 library?

If the upgrade completed successfully and you are running Aperture 3 on the converted library and you're sure all the images that were in the old library are in the new library then you could delete the Aperture 2 library.
However I'm the paranoid type and when it comes to deleting images I'm always hesitant. If you can fine a place to archive the old library that would be your a better option.
At a minimum I would keep the old library around for a month or so after switching to Aperture 3 just to make sure in case something pops up.

Kevin is suggesting that you store the projects you create while working through his book in a folder called RoboHelpProjects. It is not where you have to store every project you ever create.That is for the purposes of his book.
RoboHelp initially defaults to My RoboHelp Projects but it's up to you whether you do. Generally on the forums we advise against that as it is part of your profile and can result in excessively long path names in a few cases. Generally where authors create file names that are so long they almost serve as the content.
Projects always have a root folder, call them Project 1 and Project 2 for this purpose. You can have those folders directly off your C drive (or other local partition) or within in a parent folder as above.
Now to what you can and cannot do. You can delete a whole project by selecting Project 1 or Project 2 in Windows Explorer. Obviously if you delete the parent folder you will delete all your projects within.
What you must not do is delete individual files within a project using Windows Explorer, for that you use RoboHelp's Project Manager. The exception is if you go to Tools > Reports there is a report Unused Files. Files listed there will have to be deleted using Windows Explorer for the very good reason they do not appear in Project Manager and, therefore, cannot be deleted that way.
If you think about it, it is similar to Word. There is no option to delete a document there other than using File > Open and right clicking. Not very intuitive.

Java Applets cannot work in IE when PAC file is in shared folder

I have a PAC file (proxy auto config) residing in a shared folder, i.e. \\fileserver\share\proxy.pac. My IE and firefox is configured to point to the PAC file. Java applet is working fine in Firefox but fails to run in IE.
From the Java console, the applet seems to be trying to access the internet via DIRECT connection. The applet works properly when I configured IE to point to a PAC file in a web server, ie http://webserver/proxy.pac or in the local drive, ie file://c:\proxy.pac. My objective is to configure IE to point to a PAC file in a shared folder and make it work. Can anyone help?
Below are the logs from both IE and Firefox Java Console (thrimed):

Did you ever resolve this issue ? We have recently moved from a http based pac file to using file://netlogon share/proxy.pac. Recievng similar errors as you describe with various applets. Seems to work ok when using the same pac file launched by http rather than file. Seems to be various BUG's marginally related to similar issues but nothing to confirm that its a real problem.
Be great if anyone has an answer to this.
Thanks

HT1529 I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

I have multiple users on my Mac and I was wondering how you tell the system to retain all the user names so they don't have to enter their email addresses every time ???

Email addresses into what?
Each user should have their own account and password to log in. Each is independent of the other. So for Mail each has their own Mail account if they set one up in Mail.
That's the way it should be set up. Are you using a single account and allowing multiple users to use that one single account? If so then in Mail at least you could set up individual mail accounts. But everything else in the system is shared.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another. I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition. The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them. In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

Hi Edward,
You should still be able to manually manage the music on your iPhone within iTunes. Make sure that when your iPhone is plugged in, look in the Summary tab to see if “Manually manage music and videos” is enabled and you can even you turn off Automatically Sync when this iPhone is connected. Take a look at the first article below to give more information on that. As far as your other questions about calling someone, I have provided two options for you. If it is for feedback on iTunes, you can use the second link to give detailed feedback on what is going on. If you want to actually talk to someone, the last link has a list of numbers for you to call for any support or service that you may need.

It sounds like you have assigned the primary click on the trackpad to something else, perhaps a gesture.
Use your mouse, login and then open the Trackpad preference pane and see how you have the interface configured.
Oh and you can have both the Magic Mouse and Magic Trackpad powered up and working at the same time. No need to keep moving batteries around.

Do you have sound coming from the audio output port using headphones? If so, when the plug is pulled out, is there a red light?

Don't have permissions to restore

I installed Snow Leopard from scratch. I have been able to restore all of my files and shared files with no problem. However, when I try to restore my wife's files into her profile, I get an error message saying I don't have the permissions to do so. So, I logged in as my wife, and I get the same error message. The folders in Time Machine have a red circle with a white dash on top them. Both user accounts are administrators. I can't restore my wife's iTunes and iPhoto db until I can get this figured out... Help!

that's correct. those folders belong to the user that made them and if you have a different user ID you don't have permissions to those files.
So, I logged in as my wife, and I get the same error message.
that means that her current user ID is different from the old on. User ID is a number not a name so this can happen even if the user name is the same.
The easiest way to get your data is to use Migration Assistant to import the whole user account from TM. that will import everything in it - music movies, mail etc. note that this will crate a new user account and put all that info there, not in any already existing account.
