Can't see files/folders on server from windows

i'm not sure if this is related to the ACL issue (not being properly honored in Samba on Leopard), but i'll explain my problem and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
i've set up file sharing with my server on several Macs and a couple of PCs without a problem, but on one PC, when i connect to the server, i can't see any folders at all on the server in the Explorer window. i also can't move files to the server as it tells me i don't have permissions. i am certain this is set up the same as the other PCs and ensured that the Windows user has file sharing enabled on my server.
please note that i'm fairly new to setting up a server so not too much jargon please!
cheers

The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

Can't see files burned to CD from windows machine

I'll keep it short.
CDROM burned on a windows PC has files that I want to view on my imac G4. When I put the CD into my mac, there are no files...only folders. If I do "get info" on the folders, they are all at zero KB. If I then take the CD to any windows PC, all of the files are viewable, and the folders show their true sizes. I can then put the files and folders on a USB drive, go back to the imac and see all of my files at that point. This has been tested thee times with the same result every time.
Any ideas?

Can't See Files On Remote Server

Wondering if anyone has a fix for not seeing files
on remote server... It's even got my host stumped. I have a fairly
large static site which I CAN SEE files via my host's "File
Manager" 90 Folders 3090 Files 52,336.74KB
But I cannot see files and folders when connected FTP via
IPSwitch or Dreamweaver 8.
I have followed IPSwitch's troubleshooting steps for this
issue, with no resolve. Emailed them a week ago, still no reply.
I have other sites at the same host (sub-domains of the site
I cannot see), and thoise subdomain sites files and folders show up
fine. With the primary site, even though I cannot "see" the files
and folders, I can still ftp to and from the server (get & put)
from DW or IPSwitch...

No... I am looking at the correct folders, etc. The host is a
commercial host for Fortune 500's, I fairly confident in their
abilities. They think it might have something to do with long file
names. There is one clue, in that at one time I could view the
files and folders. Since that time it is possible I added a page
with a file name that is too long and is causing the issue. I will
probbaly need to temporarily delete these long file name pages to
see if it's the issue or not. I just thought someone here may have
experienced this. Not being able to view files and folders (even
though you can connect and transfer okay) is a pretty common
troubleshooting topic at the FTP software companies.

Can't See Files in Folder Copied from External Hard Drive to Desktop

I recently purchased a Jobo Spectator (portable image tank for storing photos). When I connect it (USB) to my iMac I see it and can copy files to my desktop. If I copy an entire folder from the device to my desktop, Finder tells me it contains 0 files and I can't see any files in it. However, if I try to recopy one of the copied files from the Jobo to the folder, Finder tells me the file already exists there and asks if I want to replace it. If I then cancel the copy, all of my copied files show up in the folder. This behavior seems to be consistent. There is no Mac driver for the device. It doesn't look like I'm going to lose any files from this behavior but I find it frustrating.
Does anyone have a clue? Thanks.

A warm welcome to the forums Sue!
The Finder is a bit lackadaisical about updating itself, you can click back & forth enough times, closing folders, opening folders and eventually it'll be in touch, or you can try something like "A Better Finder Attributes", for it's "force the Finder to update stale information about your files" feature.

Leopard can't see files/folders in .dmg Tiger backup

Okay, I have two macs, an old upgraded Cube and my MacBook Pro. I used CCC to create disk images of both and put them on an external firewire drive.
Both disk images mounted just fine, so I went ahead with my Leopard install (did a clean install) on my MacBook Pro.
Now I want to get my files Apps and such off my .dmg. I plug the Firewire drive into my MacBook Pro and open the .dmg. The only folders showing up in there are dev, Developer, Library, sw, System, Updaters and Users. GAH! Where's my Applications folder among several other missing ones?! I thought CCC didn't back it up after all.
So I plugged the Firewire drive into my Cube and opened the .dmg there and ALL the folders and files show up in the Finder on the Cube still running Tiger. Okay, I CAN manually copy over all the files by mounting my MacBook Pro hard drive on the Cube and telling the Cube what to move over. But this is really slow.
One more thing, I just went into the volume in terminal on the Leopard machine, and ls'ed the dir and it shows all the files/folders in there. However, all the folders that aren't displaying in the finder show the permissions with an @ symbol after them, the ones that show up don't have that.
drwxrwxr-x@ is in front of the missing Applications folder.
drwxrwxr-t is in front of the Users folder that does show up.
Anyone got any idea why Leopard isn't seeing these files and how I might be able to fix this?
Another update to this mystery. When I mount the .dmg on my Tiger machine and look at the file perms in terminal, that @ isn't there.
One more thing. My husband ran CCC on his MacBook Pro to a different firewire drive, and he did not have this problem. We ran it the same way, made .dmg files of our Macintosh HD's. But his Leopard is showing him all his .dmg files when he opens it. He also did the same clean install. Weird huh?

Mac OS 10 can't see files on HD coming from OS 9 and vice versa?

Hello, all! Got a TiBook 1Ghz with a 255 GB HD which I've partitioned in half, one for Tiger/OS 9 and one for Leopard. Problem: Any file placed on Vol 2 in OSX is invisible in OS 9 and vice versa, so one writes over the other. Vol 1 works fine. Tried reformatting, disk repair, DiskWarrior 9 and 10, re-installing all the operating systems. Suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, kennethfromtoronto & BGreg! I do know that OS 9 is not supported by Leopard, however I'm not talking about running 9 in Classic. This TiBook will run 9 by itself, but when I run OS 9 it is from Volume 1 which also has Tiger installed. I can boot from Tiger or from OS 9 from Volume 1 and they both run just fine.
The problem is that when do I boot from OS 9, it can't see the files on Volume 2 that were placed there under OS X Tiger. Conversely, when I run Tiger, the files I put on Vol 2 while running OS 9 are not visible. It's like I'm running a parallel universe. Unfortunately, this allows one system to overwrite whatever was put on the volume from the other system, and vice versa, with the net effect that I don't dare run OS 9 for fear of overwriting data on Volume 2.
Also when I do run Leopard from the second volume, it also cannot see any files on Volume 2 that were put there under OS 9.
Note that with Volume 1 there is no visibility problem, no matter which of the three systems is running. It happens with the second volume, whether it has an operating system installed on it or not.
Usually I am good at figuring this stuff out, but you see how confusing this is... My thinking is there might be a bug in the Apple formatting software? I used the Disk Utility from my external hard drive which runs Leopard.
Makes a good puzzle to solve, anyway... Thanks for the help!

How can I move files or complete websites from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 for Firefox, without using sync?

I'm writing documentation telling end users how to move large websites (up to 4GB, including PDFs but not sound or video) from Windows 7 to Nexus 7 (Android 4.2.2) to be used offline there -- preferably moving the site by a wired connection, instead of using Firefox sync. I have the latest Adobe plug-in, and the latest Java from Oracle, on the Nexus 7 (it would be nice if it were not necessary to download these after downloading the latest Firefox for the Nexus, but I suspect that's not Mozilla's fault).
So I saved a small test PDF file on the Nexus 7 (to see what download folder it got put into -- it showed up in sdcard/Download/). However, when I move a small PDF (that was NOT created on Nexus 7) from Windows to Nexus 7 (through the USB wire) to the same folder, the file does show up there as expected (as seen by ES File Explorer), but is invisible to Firefox.
Also there are several files left over in that folder from a previous installation of Firefox on the Nexus 7 (I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox, for a blank-slate test). I would also like to make these files visible in the new installation of Firefox, in order to delete them.
How can I instruct the end user to change permissions or whatever on the Nexus 7, or otherwise cause certain PDF or HTML files in the sdcard/Download/ folder to also be visible to Firefox?

The best way to do things is to use sync. If you wish do use other methods it would become complicated.

CS4 - can't delete files/folders - doesn't match windows directory but works fine in DW8

When I delete files/folders in CS4 the deletion is not reflected in my local windows directory.
And if I exit CSW and reload CS4 all the files and folders are back again.
I have never used cloaking but ran uncloak all with no result.
But all this workd fine in DW8.
Any thoughts?

Oh... well this is interesting... disk utility is say that it IS formatted MS-DOS (FAT32). Is that what's causing these errors? This thing has been running with my mac beautifully for years. So do I pull my stuff off, wipe it and reformat it for a mac? Or since it is FAT 32 can I hook it up to a windows computer and fix the problem? Since I had the wrong format, I can delete the files but if I don't fix the format this will keep happening?

Suddenly can't see files on remote server

I am at a loss. I have been managing about 7 or 8 simple
websites for quite a few years using Dreamweaver MX 2004. This
week, I have suddenly lost the ability to see the remote files on
about half of the websites I manage. The files are there when I log
on and look through the hosting service....but is there something I
can do so I can function again in Dreamweaver? I prefer to use it
to access remote files than to have to upload files one by one
through the hosting company!
Ideas, suggestions, help appreciated!

You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

Can't see certain folders

I'm a new admin running Server 2008R2 on Cisco hardware. A user created a subfolder and wanted special permissions for that folder. I accessed the Server Desktop, went to "computer" to look for that folder and noticed that I can't locate it.
There are several folders that I can see if I'm looking on the file server itself (I access via a VPN) but I can't see these folders in such a way that I can set permissions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to contact your user to provide you that path where he created the folders. You can also use them using Windows Explorer: Of course, results might take long time to be shown if indexation is disabled.

But the basics were quite easy to code. The entire package is 500 lines, includes comments and blank lines for formatting, and supports the basic FTP client command set. Not really a complex piece of software to write - but I found that many developers seem to think that writing network socket software is complex. Not really the case...Mine's a big larger, but incorporates functionality similar to what Chris provided in his, such as being able to use SQL to query a remote file using pipelined functions, or functionality to write the results of a query directly to a remove file.
