Can I set new shared folders to inherit permissions from the parent folder?

Am running file sharing on an OS 10.9.5 machine. This is not an OS-X Server.
9 users connect to this machine. They create folders and store files on it. All the users who connect are in a group which has read and write permissions on the volume in which they store files. But when they create new folders, the permissions on the new folder is 755. I have changed the umask to 002 and this works for users who might create a folder locally but does not work for network connected users. All users are AFP and, if it matters, are on 10.8.5. The OS versions are held back for good reason.
Is there a way to enable Inherited Permissions for new network created folders on the standard client OS?
If not, can I do so on the server OS? I have several older OS-X Server machines where this is a possibility.
(Sorry if this is a duplicate but most posts like this seem to concern locally created files and folders and not network shared folders.)

It can be done more easily with OS X Server, but you can do it anyway if you're familiar with the shell. See the section headed "ACL MANIPULATION OPTIONS" in the chmod(1) man page.

Can I copy newer system (10.6.8.) from previous system folder after archive and install with (10.5.4)?

Rightyho,
had trouble with extensions in 10.6.8 and had to re-install with original disks 10.5.4.
Did an archive and install.
In my (dated) Previous System Folder are Appl / Library / System / User folders.
Copied my User folder back no problem.
Can that also be done with the newer system? No info in support.
Time Machine won't migrate because of newer system and I have only a disk image of Snow Leopard and can't burn double layer DVDs.
When I tried to order SL DVD from Apple they told me it'll take 3 weeks ...

How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6

How do I hide the parent folder of the user home folders in File Sharing?

In 10.6 Server I would set the parent folder so that "Everyone" could not list folder contents, then set "Everyone else" read only. This prevented the parent folder from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.
In 10.8, this trick no longer seems to work. No matter what I set the ACLs to, the folder always shows up as a share point in the connection window. 2014 is the folder I've set for the Home directories of our network users (and there will be 2 more for graduating years.) I can set the ACL so if they attempt to mount it, it just spits out an error saying they can't view the contents, but that isn't reasonable. I don't want it to show up at all. The only thing the students should see is their home folder. Nothing else.
What can I do to make it so 2014 doesn't show up in the connection window? 2014 is the parent folder for the home directories, so it can't be unshared.

This prevented the parent folder from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.
That second sentence should read:
This prevented the child folder (parent folder to the home directories) from showing up in the list of available Share Points and allowing users to see the list of home directories.

"Inherit Permissions From Parent" doesn't work

In OS X 10.5 server, selecting the option for an AFP share to inherit permissions from its parent does not work for users on OS X 10.3. All files created by users running 10.3 have 755 permissions, regardless of the parent folders permissions.
Clearly, this rather dramatically reduces the utility of AFP in 10.5 Server for anyone with users running OS X 10.3.
OS X 10.3 server did not have this problem.
Manually propagating permissions is futile for two reasons. First, the needed set of nested permissions is complex enough that propagating them manually would take hours, and secondly there would be intervals between the propagations when documents would not be accessible to the right people.
Consider a drastically simplified example:
Imagine a share named "Share" with a folders inside it named Admin. Inside the Admin folder might be two additional folders named Accounting and Personnel. Inside Personnel there are folders named Performance Review and Forms. It would look like this:
Share
-- Admin
----- Accounting
----- Personnel
-------- Performance Review
-------- Forms
Now consider several groups: Employees, Accounting, HumanResources
Employees should have read write access to Share, and everything under it unless more restrictive permissions are explicitly created. Only the Accounting group has access to Accounting, and everything in Accounting should only be accessible to Accounting. Performance Reviews should only be accessible to the HumanResources group, but Forms should be accessible to all Employees.
Now a member of the employees group saves a new file in the Forms folder, but the group doesn't have, and needs, read/write privileges. To fix this the permissions from Share can't be propagated to all the files and folders inside it because that would nuke the special privileges for Performance Reviews and Accounting.
It might be conceivable that every n minutes a script could run that would recurse, depth first postorder, through the hierarchy assigning all files in each folder the permissions of the enclosing folder, but there are at least two problems with that. First, it would be slow and between runs the files wouldn't have the right permissions. Second, sometimes we might want a file to have special explicitly specified permissions that differ from the parent, but it would be terribly cumbersome to specify the exceptions for this sort of script.
POSIX behavior also doesn't solve the problem because it will set the same permissions as we're seeing already, there's no obvious way to change the default permissions, and doing so would have security implications elsewhere on the server if that "umask"ish setting couldn't be specified exclusively for the share.
Inherited permissions would solve the problem, and have solved the problem under past versions of OS X server, but they don't work on 10.5 with 10.3 clients.
Does anyone know of a workaround or have any additional details?

glad someone else is experiencing this, I'm having the same problem with inherit from parent.
I was going to start using inherit because Leopard has ruined ACL's, Leopard clients don't honour the deny delete subfolders and files ACE, basically the leopard permissions systems seem to be flawed

Document library not automatically inherit permissions from parent

Hi all,
Whenever I create a new document library the inherit permissions not automatically set for this library, So I have to click Inherit permissions for each time i create a new document library. please
help to apply inherit permissions automatically whenever new library create.
Manikandan

Hi Alex,
when you create a library and then go to the permissions settings for it it's set to not inherit permissions?
Ans : It Does not have any inherited permissions from the parent site.
Does it have a copy of the standard permissions set? If not what does it have and what is it missing from the site default?
Ans : No. Empty permissions.
But whenever i stop and start apply inherited permissions on the parent site works fine (I mean apply to all document library). but i could not do it all time whenever the new library create. I hope whenever the permissions changes on the parent site may
affect the document lib permissions. pls help how to proceed ?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. Starting on a new computer now. I can get my music from old computer?

I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

Thank you, but after an hour with apple support on the phone we came to the conclusion that the documents are lost... So the lesson is, don't trust icloud as a back up solution! A month worth of work down the drain...

How do I remove my iWeb pages from the Home folder so I can publish to a new host?

I have moved my MobileMe site to a new service (GoDaddy). The basic transfer went very smoothly. With one tiny hitch: the new URL text.
IWeb places web pages in folders, each folder being a "site." The name of the root folder automatically becomes a "pointer" to the web site -- and part of the URL text.
My current root folder is named DavidChartrand -- me. So..... when I published everything over to GoDaddy the text "DavidChartrand" was attached to my URL.
Instead of seeing www.davidchartrand.com in the URL bar, visitors see: www.davidchartrand.com.com/DavidChartrand
GoDaddy staff says this is simply a quirk in iWeb's design. Fine, but it's annoying. Is there anyway I can keep using iWeb but somehow remove the root folder.....that is, remove my site pages from the root folder and and then re-publish? GoDaddy tech support swears it has many former MobileMe/iWeb users who have done this successfully but offered had no idea how.
David

The way iWeb publishes its websites, in its own folder, the normal URL is http://www.domain_name.com/Site_name/Page_name.html. This is a normal URL for any web host.
If you want to get rid of the site name you will need to publish your website to a folder on your hard drive and upload only the contents of the website folder to your server with a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLite, Transmit or Cyberduck. That will get rid of the site name in the URL.
Of course remove the existing website foldr from the server beforehand.
I believe the folder you publish to on GoDaddy is named public_html. You might try renaming your website to "public_html" and publish to GoDaddy. In theory iWeb will see the website's folder already on the server and publish the website file into it.
It works that way with HostExcellence.com which names the home folder the same as the domain name associated with it. This tutorial explains more about it: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb

HT1918 hi I'm travelling between two countries and i have a credit card and address in both, can i set up my itunes account to switch between the respectice i tunes stores

hi I'm travelling between two countries and i have a credit card and address in both, can i set up my itunes account to switch between the respectice i tunes stores

Not a single account, no, at least not easily. It would be better to set up individual iTunes Store accounts, one in each country. Your computer and devices can quite happily deal with two accounts, and then you can just log into the appropriate account when you're in the applicable country. You'll need a second email address to able to create a new Apple ID.

HT5622 how can I set a computer into my apple ID from someone else's Apple ID?

Hi there,
My father passed away a few months ago and I have inherited his iMac. How can I set his iMac now to my Apple ID instead of his? I am currently still under his Apple ID yet he no longer has e-mail, etc... and I would like to see my things instead.

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
