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.

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)?

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.

Power shell script to list all files and folder permissions recursively

Hi All,
I am looking for a powershell script to perform the following operations.
1) To list the folder and file permissions(Allow,Deny both) recursively in a given folder.
2) List out all the files and folders which are having the deny permission or having only the read access (or) only the write access. Basically the folder should have Read,Execute,Write permissions. Else we have to flag that file/folder name.
I had written a batch script for the same which does this task using icacls.exe output, but this script takes lot of time to recursively parse all the files ( ~1 lakh files).
Please help me with the powershell script for the same.
Thanks
Sambasiva

Try this module: http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShellAccessControl-d3be7b83
After importing the module, you can run something like this:
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry
That output can be exported to a CSV for later viewing. You can also provide some parameters to Get-AccessControlEntry to limit the results:
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -FileRights Write
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -AceType AccessDenied
dir c:\folder -recurse | Get-AccessControlEntry -AceType AccessAllowed -FileRights Write

File and folder permissions for specific AD groups

Having a special folder over multiple servers that certain user groups can access with specific permissions I'd like to audit the security mappings using get-acl commandlet. It's easy for a single folder but I would need subfolders and files too. I know
I can assign a variable say $object = dir c:\MyShare -recurse and then would need to somehow pipe each object to get-acl and filter for the AD groups I'm interested in. Ideally if the results were then passed on to csv. Can someone help with getting
this to work?
yaro

Hi Yaro,
I checked your script, and found you haven't defined the variable $folder before use, please refer to the script below:
$folders = dir D:\TEST1 -recurse | where {$_.psiscontainer -eq $true}
foreach($folder IN $folders){
$folder|Get-Acl | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access | where {$_.identityreference -match "sys|Adm"}
Get-Acl $folder.fullname | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Access | where {$_.identityreference -match "sys|Adm"} |
Select-Object @{n="object";e={ $folder.fullname }},
@{n="security_principal";e={ $_.identityreference }},
@{n="type";e={ $_.accesscontroltype }},
@{n="rights";e={ $_.filesystemrights }}
And to list the nested groups on local computer, please check this function writed by Boe Prox, which will also list the property "isGroup":
Get-LocalGroupMembership
If there is anything else regarding this issue, please feel free to post back.
Best Regards,
Anna Wang

File and folder permissions

I just updated to Snow Leopard and created a new account. I moved my files to the new account and many but not all now require permission to do anything. I know how to change a file but the option to unlock, change a permission and "apply to enclosed items" is working for only enclosed folders but enclosed files. In the past I've sent files to my co-workers and self at work and worked with them with no problem. Now I can't use them on the same computer. What a pain. Please advise.
Thanks

I made a new account the normal way in System Prefs - Accounts then moved the files to a folder in the HD root directory. That was easy and many but not all files are problematic

Upgraded to Mavericks and now I can't compress files, move files, preview files or open files outside of their native application. Ran disk utilities multiple times and checked file and folder permissions. Any ideas?

For example, I'm trying ot move a group of jpgs from one folder ot another and it throws an 8058 error every time. PSD's won't open fromt he finder, it throws an application not found error even though I can open the same files from within the application.

Yep, same here. Cannot drag and drop copy with Mavericks. A copy paste throws a 8058 error.

How do I Get File and Folder Permissions using VBscript?

Modify or Full Control. Any kind of help will be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

File and folder sharing and permissions.

Many times when we copy files or folders to another mac computer, their permissions change, and many times the new user can not open it, until the file or folder permissions are changed. It start happen with MacOX 10.5, and still is happening with 10.7, with 10.5 we were waiting for the patch, but it never arrived, then I think is not a mistake for apple software developers??. But how can I solve this issue? the people need to interchage files and folders by USB, or network, and need to work as soon as possible with that materials and not loose time changing permissions. Someone knows what can I do to solve it?

Did you log out of one account and into the other or just used Fast user switching?
Is the permissions set to anyone?
When you move data to teh Shared folder is it copied or just moved?
If copied then it's not a folder both can access, just a way station like a USB thumb drive that things are coped too and off of likely.
You can run this #5 on each user account to reset the user permissions once they are taken back out of the Shared folder

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.

Default Files and Folders in my Canvio Slim II

When I first connected my Canvio Slim II to my PC, I noticed a batch of files and folders which are default inside the device. I feel messed while I used to see WD used a separate Drive for setup and other files.
Q: If I move all those default files and folders into one folder any problem may raise? If I plan to use NTi Backup and restore, no problem if I move them?

How can Windows files and folder owners just vanish, and how to restore all of them at once?

See, we have a file server running windows 2003 at our company, and suddenly most of the files and subfolders permissions are gone, lost even the owner, making it unaccessible even for the administrator.
So since it happend out of nowhere it's most possible to be a system flaw, how can I retrieve all the permisisons back or how can I restore the owner(s) ? Using the "Copy permissions to all subfolders and ....>" does not work, it says it cannot
apply the changes to the files.
Can any1 help?

Hi,
Did you ever run chkdsk on a volume? If so, it could reset security descriptors and set NTFS permissions back to default.
You could install the hotfixs below to check results:

TS4153 few files and folder are not deleting from trash folder

i am trying to delete all files and folders from the trash folder by clicking empty securely, but its not deleteing the files anf folder. please suggest how to clean the trash folder by deleteing all the deleted files and folder.

Securely deleting items in Trash writes Zeros over the data so that it is completely eradicated.
This will take quit a long time depending on how much data you have in Trash.
Unless there is data that needs to be rendered unrecoverable in the Trash, you could choose to just delete the files and folders with out the secure option.
Once you have Emptied the Trash unsecurely you can always use disk utility to Securely Erase Free Space on the Drive.

I have a folder and 3 files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked?

I have an empty folder and 3 .jpg files stuck on my desktop. When I drag them to the trash I am asked to enter my administrator's password. I do this but the files and folder will not delete. I have checked 'Get Info' on each of them and they are not locked and I have full read & write access. Grateful for any assistance in solving this problem.

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
ls -@Oaen De* | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
