Dreamweaver overriding server file permissions

We currently use Dreamweaver CS4, and for some reason sometimes when checking out a file, working on it, then checking it back in, it changes the permissions that that file originally had on the server.
Each folder on our server has a set of permissions tied to logins and the files in each folder inherit their permissions from there. However, sometimes dreamweaver decised to completely change the set of permissions that a file has on the server and disabling the inheritance of permissions entirely on said file. It seems that it changes the ownership of the file from Administrator to Contribute User, but whether this is the cause of the permission changes or a symptom, im not sure.
The oddest thing, however, is that it is far from consistant. It seems that the files that get affected by this are random and it dosn't always happen to the same file twice.
Has anyone else experienced this before or know what could possibly be causing this?
Thanks

Just bumping this to see if anyone else has had any luck since i first posted. This issue appears to be happening on several people's computers so it's some conflict between dreamweaver and the server that's causing the bug to happen.
The server we're working on is running Windows Server 2008 with IIS7. Would there be any inherent permissioning conflicts that would explain this issue? If not, is there a way to have dreamweaver not touch permissions at all? Could this be an issue with the checkin/checkout system in dreamweaver?
Thanks for the help,

Web Server File Permissions

I'm trying to create a file using a Java class on a third-party web-server. However, everytime I try I get a permission denied exception. However, I am able to FTP to this directory. Does anybody know if this is something I can achieve in Java e.g. perhaps I need to authenticate the class to write in the directory?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

My guess is that Java2 security is active on that server. You would need to get a policy file set up there, which allows your class to write files in a certain directory.

File permissions when copied from server

When a user connects to a share and copies items to their own local desktop, should the permissions on the files stick with them once copied, or should the file permissions be inherited from the location they were copied to?
Server: OS X Server 10.5.x
Client: OS X 10.5.x

Try this you say you are not using ACL's
Good but wait for it
Enable ACL to the disk, Do not set ACL permissions
See what happens

Video Freezes when overriding flv files on FMS server

I have an flash application that captures a web cam video stream and stores it on the FMS server.
I notice when I create a brand new video, and store it on my FMS server, it works fine.
When I make another video and my application overrides the file with the new video, this is where I get problems.
When I download the flv file from the FMS server, and I play it locally it plays fine, but the timeline is weird.
The web player freezes the video during that first 15 seconds.
A 30 second video, will have a time line of like 45 seconds, the local flv player is smart enough to skip over the paused part of the video.
You will see it skip over the timeline to the good video (from 0sec to 15 secs). The web player freezes the video during that first 15 seconds.
Any clues that I described that makes you know what is going on?

Dreamweaver CS6 - FTP changing my file permissions on upload???

ORIGINAL POST: SEPT 19, 2012 http://forums.adobe.com/message/4784335#4784335
Upgraded to cs6. All programs work perfect for me exceopt Dreamweaver.
I have never expierenced this challenge however no matter what file(s) I upload dreamwever is chanign the file permissions.
For instance if I upload an image to the sever the image won't appear. I check permissions and they are set to 0. Same with files.
I have to now go in to each item I upload and change permissions to 644 or 755 depending if its a file or directory.
This is a Dreamweaver exclusive problem as it does not happen when I use Filezilla and Im working on 6 different servers.
ONLY when I upload files with Dreamweaver CS6 do the file permissions change on upload. Cs5.5 no problem.
Any ideas?
Aloha!
STILL NOT WORKING UPDATE:
I was even on with India Adobe support doing a screen share and they watched in real time as I uploaded a file and Dreamweaver and it changed the permissions to 000. You can 'Get' a file with 775 permissions then 'Put' that same file and it will chanve to 000 permissions.
Support failed to address this problem after 30 days and never called back.
STILL NOT WORKING UPDATE: Changing ro SFTP seems to be a workaround.
See Full Discussion here as I posted in the wrong area. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4784335#4784335

I'm using DW6 version 12.2, and this problem is still happening.
The permissions are defaulting to 0664, where I need them to be 0644. Every time I create a new file, it defaults to 0664, and I'm unable (not permitted) to view that file online until I go in, using another FTP program, and change the permissions to 0644... or manually go in the slow-poke way using DW6 Remote View -> [file name] -> Set Permissions.
Too bad there's no way to configure this in the Preferences area of DW6.

Server 2003 - File Permissions re-inherited

I have this odd issue when I am setting permissions on a file and then after some period (unknown) this file permissions are reset back to be inherited, I am the only one who can change permissions.
Any ideas?

Hi TrentQu,
By default, the inherit permission itself cannot change if there's no modification.
Would you please post more detailed information about the folder, and also check if it had applied any group policy.

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,

Live Data / Problem with file permissions

Just trying out an old version of Dreamweaver MX 2004. I am
using my webhosting service for remote server/testing server
duties. It is running PHP 4.3.10 and MySQL 3.23.58. I was able to
set up the database connection and test-retrieve a recordset with
no problems. In following the tutorial I found that Livedata
wouldn't work, it just giving me a warning about file permissions
being wrong. It turns out that when Dreamweaver creates a temporary
file of the work-in-progress to upload to the remote server the
file is created on the server with owner=rw, group=rw, world=r
which explains why it won't run - group has to be set to group=r.
The file is created on the fly and then immediately deleted by
Dreamweaver so it is impossible to manually set the permission on
the server and probably fairly pointless too.
I tried just saving the file and previewing in the browser
which again causes it to be uploaded to the remote server. The
first time this resulted in the browser offering a file download
box instead of running the page. The reason is - again - that
Dreamweaver is setting the uploaded file permissions to include
group=rw. If I manually set the permission for group to group=r it
runs fine.
It turns out that Dreamweaver is always setting the file
permissions on file uploads (checked php and html) to the
remote/testing server to include group=rw. Once I set it manually
on the remote/testing server to group=r for a php file everything
is fine and subsequent uploads of the same file do not change it
again.
I checked with the webhosting company and their second-line
have reported back to me that the default file permission they set
on uploaded files includes group=r so it must be DW that is causing
the problem by setting group=rw the first time. I confirmed this by
using WS-FTP to upload the same file (renamed) to the same target
directory and the permissions set were owner=rw, group=r, world=r.
So
Can anyone please tell me how to change the permissions DW
sets on files written to a remote server because I have spent
countless hours on it without success. From looking at other posts
in this forum it could be that other users are hitting the same
kind of problem with DW8

Stop using Live Data with a hosting account. Set up PHP and
MySQL locally on
your machine. That is how it's supposed to work. You
shouldn't test files on
the fly on a host as you write them. Change your test account
in DW to use
the local server. Upload your files to your remote server
after they are
fully tested.

Photo upload file permissions?

Hi,
My website will give users the option to upload photographs which will be displayed on the website.
Before a user can do this they must register or be logged in to their account.
I will be using a shared hosting environment.
My script does check the file size and type and only allows .jpg .gifs and .png.
I need to set global permissions, is there a way of defining a registered user as the owner so that I only need apply owner permissions of 700 rather than setting at 777?
My other concern is that the files that I upload the photos to is also the one that I link to from my web pages to display the images, should I be copying the uploaded images to another file then linking to that one to display the images?
Hope I am making sense.
Thank you in advance for your help and information.

Hi Rob,
Just to clarify your helpful comments, there are two comments that I am not fully understanding.
Firstly yes I am allowing registered users to upload through http protocol.
And yes the files that are being uploaded to will be under website ownership.
As it will be shared apache hosting I need to set read write and execute permissions to allow the upload script to perform, which I have to do using chmod and assigning restrictive permissions if possible.
Your comment: As long as the scripts performing the uploads are within the SAME ACCOUNT....
The script is just there within the page, a user registers their details and then is allow to go to the page that upload information to the database and photos to the upload script, returning users, after log in is verified, are also allowed on the page that upload photos, DOES THAT MEAN THEY ARE WITHIN THE SAME ACCOUNT AS WEBSITE OWNER?
Your comment: Why do you feel you need to assign apache permissions to INDIVIDUAL USERS?
I wanted to apply permission the the upload files but I thought the 'status' of my users would be like 'general public' I guess that ties in with the last comment about account ownership, for what ever reason I was thinking that a user, even if registered, would be just like a a public person and for them to be able to use the upload scripts I thought that I would need to somehow tell the files that this person was the 'owner' so that I could apply 700 permissions to the actual file rather than 777 permissions, I was trying to find a way to use a more restrictive permission level ( sorry if I didn't explain it well).
So I am getting this right, I do hope so! A user on my website who is using the upload scripts has ownership permissions, so if I set the permissions on my upload file to 700, it will allow read, write and execute permission for the file and I don't need to set the status of my users to 'owner' they just will be as such the 'owner' because they are using the script?
Thank you for your time a patience, I look forward to your reply and hopefully confirmation that i am now understanding this correctly.
Best regards

is there a way of defining a registered user as the owner so that I only need apply owner permissions of 700 rather than setting at 777?If users are uploading through the HTTP protocol, then the owner of the folders and files is going to be set to the website ownership.All files and folders will share the same ownership. As long as the scripts performing the uploads are within the same account, there should not be an issue, and you should be able to assign more restrictive permissions than 777. Why do you feel you need to assign apache permissions to individual users? (which you can't do anyway, using http) It would be pretty easy using sessions and PHP to keep user files separate from each other in unique folders. But if users will use the FTP protocol, the situation would be very different.

File permissions - how to edit a user account

file permissions - how to edit a user account that is creating files with permissions that are not wanted anymore.
i understand how to reset permissions on files or folders, but i do not understand how to reset the permissions a user is "creating".
ie, each time this user creates a file, the file needs to be manually edited for its permissions. so i need to edit the user's settings, but i can't find where to do that.
this is a home office setup. we have two users with admin privileges. our imac is acting as a server of sorts - it holds common files that need to be edited by both users. the other user is typically working on shared files from a macbook over wifi.
osx 10.6.8
any help is greatly appreciated - thanks up front!

I cannot argue with you, because I've never tried or tested it myself. However, this KB article
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2202>
states the opposite:
"In Mac OS X v10.5.3 and later, you can create the file /etc/launchd-user.conf with the contents "umask nnn". […]
This will set the user's umask for all applications they launch, such as Finder, TextEdit, or Final Cut Pro, and control the permissions set on new files created by any of these applications."

Time Capsule file permissions

Whenever I copy a file to the time capsule (either via finder by moving it there, or via terminal with cp) the file permissions of the file end up with -rwxrwxrwx, independently whether the file was an executable, or whether it only had reading permissions for all or group. Running chmod on the Time Capsule files has no effect.
This is really silly and makes the Airport Disk sharing useless. This way I will never share files with my friends over the Airport disk because the files loose their property and all files are executables at the end.
Is there a way to mount or configure the Time Capsule so that it conserves the file permissions?
I am aware that time capsule cannot handle different users, but at least it should conserve the file permissions. I imagine it could be like a scp or ftp of files to another server. My files on the other server will not have my user name, but at least they conserve the file permissions. A -rw-r-r- file will still be a -rw-r-r- file even if I copy it 10 times from one server to another.
I would lik to encourage Apple to take this problem seriously and provide an update for this issue. So many other Apple products are just so well integrated in a networking environment, even if it is a heterogeneous one, but not Time Capsule with this flaw.
Best wishes,
Reto

Agree, this is a serious flaw, that makes the device very dangerous to use as a central server for shared files, for example, the family's photograph collection. Since there appears to be no way to write protect anything, how can I ensure the files don't get modified or deleted?
Here's a nasty case I am seeing:
We unload a digital camera onto the TC's disk, then someone goes to their iPhoto app, and adds these files to their iPhoto library. Then they do something simple, like rotate the photos, and voila! The master file on the TC has now been modified! Horrible.

Mac Mini with Mavericks Windows Server Access Permissions Problem

We have a Mac Mini that was running Lion. This machine was joined to our Active Directory network using Beyond Trust’s PowerBroker Identity Services add-on. This had been working fine with no issues.
We recently had to change the permissions on the file server (Windows Server 2012) for one of the directory branches. The share permissions are set to Modify and the file permissions were set so the user of the Mac had full control over the files.
The Mac then started experiencing a problem where it could not open some of the files on the network this only affected certain files or folders. A couple of other machines we have running Mavericks who are not domain joined had no problems accessing the files when connected to the share as the same user.
I then upgraded the Mac to Mavericks after removing the Beyond Trust software. The Mac was then re-joined to the domain using the native support of Mavericks. This fixed the problem temporarily and by this all seems fine for maybe one or two hours and then suddenly you cannot access files anymore.
When I looked at the permissions of a file that could not be opened it was showing the same user name twice. One with r/w access and the other with Custom. If the Mac was re-booted the problem would disappear again for another hour or so but then come back.
Thinking the issue was with the AD integration yesterday I took the Mac off the domain and just left it as standalone connecting to the server. The local user accounts that were from the AD user have been deleted so there is now only Administrator, Guest (disabled) and the user. This has not fixed the problem.
What I have noticed is that while it is working when you look at the permissions on the file through finder they say “You have custom access”. When it is broken the permission change to showing the user multiple times, etc.
I have reset the permissions on the server a number of times and it makes no difference.
I am assuming that when it is working the Mac is reading the permissions correctly from the Windows Server and then it suddenly decides to use some other set of permissions it is getting locally to the files.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks

Both OS X and OS X Server can host Subversion (SVN), yes. That's been possible for many years, and there are directions posted around the 'net for downloading and installing and setting up the Subversion server.
Distributed source code control packages (and links from there) — such as Mercurial and particularly git — would be some of the more common and newer technologies used here. These too can be installed on OS X and OS X Server.
On the 'net, Subversion, git, Mercurial, Bizaar and other distributed packages are all platform-independent. The remote clients don't know and don't care about the type of server hosting the repository.
As for your Mavericks Server question — and quoting directly from this Apple web page, and thus permitted to be posted here — "The new features in Xcode Server make it easier than ever for a Mac or iOS development team to create robust, reliable software, thanks to continuous integration, testing, and repository hosting services." (Beyond this quote and any other officially-public Apple statements or public Apple presentations, you'll have to be a registered Apple Developer to gather more information and potentially access to the previews, as OS X Mavericks and Mavericks Server and Xcode 5 are all presently under NDA.)

Problem with file permissions in Windows shares

Due to a company merger we are now supporting a group of Macs in our PC environment. These Macs connect to our Windows shares. This generally works well, however we have discovered a problem. It’s to do with the way our Macs interact with our Windows shares. When they copy a file to a windows share they take the permissions for the file they copy from the route of the share rather than from the subfolder the files are copied to and write the file permissions accordingly.
This only affects admin users who use Macs with the ability to change file permissions. Everyone else inherits the permissions from the subfolder as they should because their account can’t change the permissions. If the route and subfolder permissions are the same then there is no change. If they are different, the Mac will use the share route permissions as preference.
We have shares where users don’t have access to the route folder but do have access to other folders. This is so that they can’t change the top level folder structure. However they are able to create folders and files under the top level folders. If an administrator uses a Mac, no one has access to any files or folders they create because users don’t have access to the route folder and this is copied to the files and folders they create. This doesn’t affect our PC’s only the Macs.
We are using the latest Mac OS fully updated and Windows 2008 server. Is this a normal Mac ‘Feature’? Is there a work around?

I’m a bit disappointed by the lack of response to my problem. As Windows is the predominant file server in business, this problem must have occurred before.
Are Mac people really saying that Macs are not designed to connect to networks? At the moment our Macs are unusable apart from a few isolated tasks. Basically they are used by a few designers who work in isolation. If PC’s had this problem no one would buy them.

Windows file permissions problems

We have an Xserve G5 that was running Server 10.3. I upgraded it directly to Server 10.5. Since then, I am having problems with some of our Windows users.
When they create a new folder, it puts them as the owner, but gives them NO rights. I am using ACLs to give full rights to the group that needs access, and also setting the POSIX group rights to read/write. So once they leave that folder, they can no longer get back in. I have SMB set to inherit rights from the parent, and the ACL is set to inherit as well. Other people in the group can access the folder, just not the owner! I change the owner permissions and all is well (for that folder at least). How do I need to set SMB so it follows the inheritance I set?
Once I have the folder set correctly, any new files created there have the POSIX group set to read only. The ACL inherits properly and still has full control. The owner is set correctly, usually. It is not consistent.
Once someone creates a file in any folder, if a Windows user modifies a file someone else created, it changes the owner name and gives them no rights. It also creates a new ACL record. If the original owner was a Mac user, it creates a new explicit ACL with all rights except execute and delete. If the file has ACL records already, it duplicates them and gives whatever rights it feels like (it seems). One new record may say Allow Delete only, and the next one say Allow Read except for execute. The only thing for certain is it will never match the original ACL. It always adds the new ACLs at the top of the list, and the duplicates are grayed out as if they were actually inherited that way. The most 'popular' file I've found so far had 128 "inherited" ACL records!
It is also denying access to some folders that the user has the correct permissions for. For instance, I can create/modify/delete files logged in on the Mac side, but when I log in on Windows, I have problems accessing files/folders. It shows everything as read only. Even if I change the properties in Windows, it will revert back to read-only when I apply the change.
We have a new Xserve that we will be moving the file services to. At that time, all the Windows users will be moved completely to the Mac side - currently the Windows users are accessing the Xserve and a Novell server.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Thy,
Based on my research, the Trusted Installer is a service, for those resources which only allow Trusted Installer to modify, neither Administrator nor System can modify them.
I am wondering that how secure the network and physical environment is that you need to create a GPO to prevent users making permissions changes on system files. These system files normally only can be modified by Administrators,
System or Trusted Installer, which is secure enough when we don’t add users we don’t trust enough to Administrators group.
>What is the best way to undo this while leaving the audit failures turned on and still retaining the correct permissions on all the files?
As long as administrators on these machines are qualified, you can remove the Group Policy. If not, please don’t make any user you don’t trust as Administrator.
>What happens to the files that aren't owned trustedinstalled than now have the trustedinstaller default permissions under system32 and syswow64 if I were to remove the gpo? What file permissions would be retained?
We should keep the default permissions, if those files weren’t owned by Trusted Installer before, we should change the original owner back, vice versa.
Here are some related articles below I suggest you refer to:

Not overwriting server files still unresolved

Reposted from a 2009 post in a 2007 thread:
DW CS2 was overwriting server files on PUT all the time, and now sometimes doesn't. GoDaddy.COM tech support suggests it is likely a DW issue. I agree.
I upload an update to a file already existing on the server such as HTML, PHP, JPG, etc. At times, the file simply will not update on the server. When this occurs, I've gone to dual (remote/local) view to watch the activity. I use the PUT button, and no update. I drag-drop the file directly to the correct folder, and no update. But...if I manually delete the server side file, then use the PUT button or drag-drop, the new file is then the correct file. Simply refusing to update on the server...but only sometimes. Whether using PUT or drag-drop, the file appears correctly in the desired folder, so it wasn't being sent to an incorrect server location.

When these things have occurred, at times out of necessity and to check whether it is a server-related issue, I have used a couple other freebie FTP software to upload the same files. In every case, with each other software, the files uploaded which has just refused to properly update when uploaded using DW, would update on the server properly.
If people on this forum, watching these problems do not have an answer, that is something I can accept easily. But if some of those people are Adobe staffers, and it is not thoroughly investigated toward an end of resolving these issues, I find that highly objectionable. The 2009 post above was with reference to using DW in CS2 in Windows XP. I am now on a new machine, using Windows 7. At least most of the time, this particular anomaly is not occurring...but then I haven't been doing as much web work lately, so might not have run into it as it is a now and then style anomaly.
Only time will tell if the anomaly is still present. I can't really remember if it has surfaced in Windows 7. If it has not and does not, this "may" be an indicator that the problems lie in the relationship between DW and Windows XP...rather than only being about DW. I do not think it is the server in any case, as other tests indicate it is DW-specific. GoDaddy has checked and has found nothing which would prevent the files from updating correctly.
Someone in the other thread mentioned the case where a file inadvertently gets uploaded to the wrong folder. While that is not typical, it IS possible and I have to admit having been guilty in that area before...very "egg on face." So for anyone having such difficulties, DO scout around and make sure the correct updated file is not actually sitting somewhere else on the server wondering why no one accesses it. But I still hate dealing with Adobe...maybe because they've become rich producing good software, and I'm just a lowly tag-along.

You don't need crossdomain policy files, you need to do the following;
1)      Edit the Application.xml file in the host folder, within install directory/conf/... , edit the client tag, adding the attribute override=”yes”
<Client override=”yes”>
In a default install of Flash Media Server, the Client class is set to prevent overriding values in the application folder. This was why the settings we were trying were not holding.
We do not need to alter anything else of the conf Application.xml
2)      Add the client/access nodes to the root Application.xml within the content folder ( we have already done this as far as I am aware ).
<Application>
<Client>
   <Access>
    <VideoSampleAccess enabled="true">/</VideoSampleAccess>
    <AudioSampleAccess enabled="true">/</AudioSampleAccess>
   </Access>
</Client>
</Application>
3)      Restart the Media Server by using the administration console. This will enable the client>access values to be overridden to true.
