Cyberduck - Can't change file permissions

Hello,
Im using the latest nightly build of cyberduck and the latest version of leopard.
Okay So i upload the file to my server.
1. The permissions column on the remote browser says "unknown"
2. I click the file, and choose "info", and next to permissions it says "Unknown"
3. Aside from the above, the entire area for permissions is grayed out. It doesn't allow me to adjust permissions.
The server is a RHE linux server running cpanel. I logged into another host which is hostgator, and I have the same problem with them so I know its not my server.
Can anyone assist me? Thank you in advance for your replies.

I used ntfs-3g as recommended, and it worked, thanks!
I'd copy pasted those lines from a previous Ubuntu install where they worked just fine, so I didn't bother changing them, though I was aware that writing priveleges require ntfs-3g. I'm still not owner of any of the files / folders, but I can edit and delete them as I see fit, so no harm.
Thanks again :-)

How do I stop DW CS6 randomly changing file permissions via FTP?

How do I stop Dreamweaver CS6 12.0.1.5842 randomly changing file permissions when it uploads files to my web server via FTP.
I can no longer trust Dreamweaver to upload websites correctly as it changes permissions on some files which then deny the server access to the file which in turn makes the webpage unreachable/return a 403 error.
This is driving me insane.
I'm using an early 2011 Macbook Pro 10.7.5.

Hi,
I'm having this problem too. Has Adobe fixed the issue yet? This appears to be an Adobe problem, not all the web hosts out there. CS6 is ramdomly (meaning: not every time) changing permissions on files uploaded with it and is not usable for web work until this problem is fixed by Adobe or a solution is provided. If I wanted to use a separate FTP program I would not have recommended that my employer buy multiple Adobe CS6 product licenses. One of the primary appeals of DW is the integration of FTP into the workflow.
I am using a destop iMac2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
OSX 10.7.5
I am using DW Version 12 Build: 5808
Dreamweaver CS4 that I was using until this new purchase was working just fine. No file permisssion changes. I am being forced to go back to using it until Adobe posts a fix for this.
I should ask while I'm here: has anyone found a solution for this yet?
Thanks,

Permz - Quickly change file permissions in any file manager

Designed to be integrated into any file manager, permz is a bash script which presents a GUI menu. You can use it to quickly change file permissions and ownership as a normal user or as root, and delete files as root. I wrote this because I have yet to see a file manager that isn't cumbersome for this - the mechanism is usually buried on a second tab of the Properties window, and changing permissions often involves multiple clicks in a grid. To change the owner of a file, you need to type the username. And if the file is owned by root, you can't do anything.
permz --help
Presents a GUI menu for changing file permissions/ownership. May be run
as a normal user or root.
Requires: zenity gksu
Optional: sudo (recommended to prevent multiple root password prompts)
Usage: permz FILE [...]
MENU FUNCTIONS:
rwxrwxrwx Sets file(s) to given permissions
Sticky Clear/Set Performs "chmod -t" or +t to clear or set the sticky
bit. You may select to clear/set sticky in addition
to changing other permissions.
Recursive go-rxw "chmod -R go-rxw" on file(s) recursively, denying
access to non-owners
Recursive go-w "chmod -R go-w" on file(s) recursively, denying write
to non-owners
Recursive ugo+rX "chmod -R ugo+rX" giving read access to all. Also
sets +x for directories and executables.
Recursive ugo+w "chmod -R ugo+w" on file(s), giving write to all
(You may select several compatible recursive functions above at once)
Owner USER As ROOT Sets ownership to USER:USER as root
DELETE As ROOT Deletes file(s) as root. Must be used alone or with
"Perform Recursively" (to delete directories - USE
WITH CAUTION). Not available if permz is run as root.
Perform As ROOT Run as root to change selected permissions.
(Use of root is automatic when changing ownership)
Perform Recursively Adds -R to all chmod, chown, and delete commands to
descend into subdirectories. Use in conjunction with
any other functions. (Recursion is automatic for
"Recursive" functions above)
Current su command is set to: gksu -gS
If you're somewhat familiar with bash, adding additional options or changing the existing ones is straightforward.
I have tested it pretty thoroughly but if you do encounter anything amiss please let me know.

And in the AUR at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=36978
Instructions for integrating permz into PCManFM-Mod are here.

Done - thanks for the tip. I also left the old code active in there with just the menu option disabled, so if anyone wants it the other way or wants both it's easy to enable. The difference is that the old way won't make any files +x, just dirs.
permz doesn't provide every possible setting of permissions, just common ones, so you may want to customize it. But I used to have these as user actions when I used Krusader and I found these were the handy ones, at least for me.

How can I change 'Custom' permissions for TM backup disc?

I have recently had some big problems with permissions on the main disk of my G5 iMac. After fixing permissions, Time Machine then reported that my backup disk (an external 300Gb FireWire disk) was read-only and so backups couldn't take place, and the icon for the disk has a padlock shown on it. Looking at the Get Info for the disk and unlocking 'Sharing and Permissions', I see a line saying 'You have custom access', and that all permissions shown are set to 'Custom'. I don't know what this means - and worse, I can't change the permissions to any of the normal settings (Read & Write, Read Only, Write only (drop box)), and I can't check 'Ignore ownership of this problem'.
I am thus unable to do any backup. The system worked fine for at least a year before this. Has anyone any idea what 'custom' means and what I should do. I haven't found anything that seems relevant by searching this forum.

Time Machine uses special "deny everybody everything" permissions. You should not change them.
FIrst, do a +Repair Disk+ (not permissions) on the TM volume via DIsk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
If that doesn't correct it,
If you only have a partial backup, or don't need the ones you've done, the simplest thing to do is just erase the disk/partition.
If you don't want to erase it, here's a workaround:
First, you need to find the name of the hidden file that's causing the problem Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget.
It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. If it shows a message like this: "You do not have appropriate access privileges to save file “.<nnnnnnn>” in folder <Name>"* skip to *Open the Terminal App* below.
If not, Click here to download the +Tinker Tool+ app. It allows you to change the Finder to show hidden files (among many other things). Select the first option under Finder, then click +Relaunch Finder+ at the bottom. Reverse this when done.
In a Finder window, select your Time Machine drive/partition. The very first file shown should have a name consisting of a period (dot) followed by 12 numbers and/or letters. (This is your Mac's Ethernet address). Copy or make a note of it.
Open the Terminal app (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
In Terminal, the prompt looks like this: user-xxxxxx:~ <your name>$
(where <your name> is your short user name). It's followed by a non-blinking block cursor (unless it's been changed via Terminal > Preferences).
At the prompt, type the following exactly as shown, substituting the name of your TM drive exactly, including any spaces, between the quotes; and the string of numbers & letters from the message where the series of x's are (keep the dot):
<pre> sudo chmod 644 /volumes/"TM drive name"/.xxxxxxxxxxxx</pre>
example: sudo chmod 644 /volumes/"TM Backups"/.0a1b2c3d4e5f
Press Return. You'll get some warnings and a request for your Administrator's password. Type it in (it won't be displayed) and press Return again.
Then try a +Back Up Now+ from the TM icon in your Menubar, or by control-clicking (right-clicking) the TM icon in your dock.

Changing file permissions

Hi, does anybody have any idea how to change file permissions on a apache server. I have created ftp app that transfers file from a computer to a server and I need to change the file permissions to 0777. I'm using FileTransferClient from enterprisedt.
Cheers

Hmm ok, im a little bit lost. The server is running a pretty complicated video broadcasting site that I dont have much to do with. the app im making encodes videos and uploads them to a import directory on the server. From there some type of program accepts them and puts them in the sites playlist. The problem is the program that accepts them has to have the permissions set to 0777 before it recognizes them. My app doesn't run on the server it only get files there. And as far as i know these are the only files that need the permissions to 0777. by changing the unmask on the server will that effect other files on the site.

How can I change the permissions in Mac OS X 10.10 to allow Illustrator to access the files on my shared drive?

When trying to save out a file to the printer that runs my printers, I cannot access that drive when saving in Illustrator CC. It will actually show up the first time I save, then if I try to save out another file, the entire "shared" directory is gone. I can still access my shared drives through my finder window, but now Illustrator. Does anyone now how to fix that?

I run a wide format printing company. I have my main computer that I design on, then a separate computer that runs my printers. So I do all of my layouts on my main design computer, then I save out a high res pdf to the printer computer. So all I am doing is saving a copy over to the program that runs my printers. I never had an issues until I updated to OSX 10.10 (Yosemite). What is weird is that they actually show up the first time I save a file out. Then when I go to save another file, they are gone. I have also noticed that in the top/middle of the "save" dialog box, there is a drop down menu of previous save locations and I can still access it from there, just not on the normal side menu.
I called Adobe and they said it is an IT issue and that something is blocking Adobe from having access to the shared drives. I am not an IT person. so I have no idea how you modify that. When I try searching for answers, all I can come up with is how the modify file permissions, nothing on program permissions. This same thing happens to all of my Adobe programs.

Can you change the permissions on a single html file in the root of a MOSS 2007 site?

I know what the right answer is, the correct way to implement this is to create a library off the root and place the file that needs to have unique permissions into this library and either change the permissions of the library or of the individual file itself.
Anyways, that's what we're going to do...
However, I'm curious... Is there a way to change the permissions of a file that was manually placed in the root of a MOSS 2007 site? I've tried through the GUI and through Designer, and also searched the WWW with no luck. Is this even doable?
We don't want to change the permissions on the entire site, just that one file.
Thanks,
-Richard.

Hi Richard,
I thinks the file on the root directory of a SharePoint site is unable to be set with a unique permission, SharePoint securable object are web, list/library, list/library iteml, as what you're going to do, the workaround is
to put the file in a libary and grant the unique permission.

How can I repair file permissions?

Greetings!
Recently I get this warning when I do a File Permissions Repair with help of Distools:
`Warning: SUID File `System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDagentApp/Contents/MacOS/ARDage nt` is changed and cannot be repaired.
I did a few attempts to repair this file permission by hand and also used Onyx to repair this but when my Mac had a restart are the permissions again change to `only read` and do I get the same Warning.
Shall I just let it be? Or what can I do to change this?
With kind regards,
Silvia

That warning is on this list http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448 and as per Apple can be safely ignored.

How to batch change file permissions?

I posted this problem in another forum and think it belong here.
A client sent me a CD of data and graphical files. I copied them into a new folder on my desktop but I am unable to alter or change them because they are read only.
How can I change all the files in the directory over to read/write? Is there an easy way to do this?
John

BatChmod is a good GUI application for changing permissions.
Or you can try this in a Terminal window:
chmod -R u+rwX [spacebar, drag folder to Terminal window, press return]

Can't change file associations

I can't seem to change the file associations for quicktime. The checkboxes are greyed out so I can't deselect them.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing both quicktime itself and itunes but am not asked which files to associate during installation of either. I have also tried un-installing and running the windows cleanup utility but it doesn't show any quicktime entry and when I re-install the file types are still greyed out.
Anyone got any ideas.

This could be caused by damaged QuickTime preference files (or possibly a permissions problem on the preferences files).
We can try rebuilding one set of your preference files to see if that helps with the greyed-out stuff.
First, quit QuickTime if you have it open.
Next, you'll need to make sure you are set up to view hidden files and folders in Vista (or 7).
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected.
5. Click OK.
Next, you'll remove the QuickTime preference folder (and contained file).
6. In Computer, open Local Disk: C or whichever drive your documents are stored on.
7. Open the Users folder.
8. Open the folder with the name of the Windows 7 user account in which the QuickTime file types are "greyed out".
9. Open the AppData folder.
10. Open the Local folder.
11. Open the Apple Computer folder.
12. Drag the QuickTime folder out onto the Desktop.
Now you'll rebuild the preference folder and file.
13. Launch QuickTime. Check your file types again.
Are they still greyed out, or can you change them now?

Windows BUG: Can't change file types through control panel Quicktime settings

I am running the latest version of Quicktime on Viista Home Premium 64-bit.
When I into Control Panel -> View 32-bit Control Panel Items -> Quicktime -> Browser, and I click on "File Types" or "MIME Settings", I get a blank page that looks like this: http://oi40.tinypic.com/hvbbia.jpg, and Quicktime momentarily freezes.
I have no issue adjusting file type settings when bringing up Quicktime outside of control panel, or when using "Default Programs" within control panel, it's only when I do it within "View 32-bit Control Panel Items" that it does this.
This is a minor bug but still weird. Can anyone else verify the issue? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but that didn't help.

Can't change file ownership.

To be careful, I did a new install of Lion on a freshly formatted disk (by installing SL first, of course). One of the first things I tried was Aperture. My Aperture Library is on a separate (SS) disk. When I tried to launch Aperture, it knew where to look for the file (I used Migration Assistant to transfer preferences) but it said it could not open it because of some ownership problem. (I can not say exactly what, because now it will open - I don't know what changed.) However, I still can't change the ownership. Get Info thinks that the owner is the new dummy user I created when I first set up Lion (before Migration assistant), when I try to change the owner with the gear popup at the bottom of "Aperture Library Info", I get the error message "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -8076)."
"Unexpected", of course, is subjective. There is a reason I didn't jump to updating my system disk! I haven't tried repairing permissions, but I'm not optimistic about that.
When an "unexpected" error occurs, why doesn't it trigger an automatic report to Apple?

This program you recommend is fugly and complicated...
You should see the other way to do it!
Most likely...
When the 1st screen comes up, look for the Browse button, select the FAT drive, give it a Share Name, click the Windows (SMB) sharing bar & select Shared , enter your admin PW, click on "Show File System Properties", check Inherit Permissins, give the rights you need...
Any more questions after you Update Share...

How to change file permissions on ULOG file??

Hi
I'm trying to change the file permissions on the ULOG file. By default it's being created with rw-rw-rw- permissions, and so any user can overwrite it.
I'm using Tuxedo 8.0 on HP-UX.
I've tried umask and that doesn't work. Nor does the PERM setting in the ubb file - looks like that is only for IPC structures.
I want it to be created with rw-r--r-- permissions so that only the tux administrator has write access.
Thanks in advance.

We also encouter this problem. Seems like hard code. As it doesn't related to umask.
As workaround solution, you may want to set ULOGPFX inside UBBCONFIG file, and proteck the directry with access mode 700.
