File/Folder sharing over RD Gateway?

I have read in the RD Gateway description that it "enables file/folder access" outside the company's intranet.
My understanding of this would be "bypassing the full desktop environment", but HOW?
Suppose, I only want my BYO users (no Group Policy) to be able to click on an .RDP file I prepared for them, and "magically" a folder would open from the intranet-hosted DFS. This is to avoid having them to VPN in.
I have RDGW deployed and available to Internet. While outside coprnet, I am able to use RDS on a group of pre-defined servers inside.
The SSL cert is publicly trusted and matches external URL.
How can I map a folder via RDGW, bypassing the full dekstop experience???

Hi Sergey,
The way you can 'enable file/folder access' in rds is to either redirect a users local drives to an RD session as seen below. That makes the user get extra "drive maps" from which they can transfer files to and from the RDP session.
Note that ctrl+c/ctrl+v also works from a local computer/rd session without having any redirected drive.
Also see this thread for further information:

To get the redirection working, you both need to enable this feature on the client (or prepare it in the .rdp-file), on the rd gateway and on the rd sessions hosts themselves:

File & folder sharing with privileges on my network does not work. What is wrong?

My Timecapsule is creating a network between my iMac with OS 10.7.5 and my Macbook Pro Retina OS 10.9.2. I am trying to setup a folder on my iMac with controlled access privileges to work as a server for others using the Macbook as a client. I followed different tutorials to the letter, but it did not work, I could not get the connection. Then I called the Apple help line. It turns out that just setting it up with a 'sharing only' account etc. in 'sharing ' in the 'system preferences' is not enough. One also has to set up the same priviliges in the 'get info' window of the folder directly at the same time...so a double setup. They could not explain properly why and there is no mention of this whatsoever in any tutorial I found on the internet. Anyway, I tried that and it still did not work. When I add the user in the 'get info' window and press enter, suddenly the user does not show up in the privilege box with the user name but instead a line saying something like "searching for user" and something small dudeling next to it......I called Apple again. After two agonizing hours on the phone where I was treated like an imbecile it turns out one has to somehow go through the address book ??? Why, I have no clue and how, I do not remember, but suddenly it worked.
Anyway, now two month later I had to add a new user account to my Macbook and I need to give it access to my server folder on my iMac. Well same problem again. I cannot remeber what we did 2 month ago an cannot call Apple, because my service period has expired. I tried myself and got the dudle in the folders 'get info' window again. Then by mistake I deleted myself as the only administrator account on the Imac from the access privileges to that shaered server folder. When I tried to put my account back into the folders privilege settings I got the same message and the dudeling thingy there too. Frustrated I thought it is best to just re-start the computer.......that was the end of it all: Now the startup window does not show my account name and icon anymore, just two lines to fill in the account name and password. The upper line has an arrow pointing left, the lower for the password an arrow pointing right. I filled in the account name and the password....the dudle circle comes and nothing happens, it seems to crash. When I click on the arrows the sign-in lines disappear, only the three buttons for going to sleep, re-start and turn off at the bottom are the only items left on the screen. I tried 10 times to no avail. This is turning into a nightmare!! My account is the only user account on this iMac.......
What am I doing wrong? Or what is wrong with my iMac?
Why is there nothing mentioned about these issues in the tutorials or anywhere else? Why do the tutorials say it is so easy, when even the staff on Apple's helpline cannot figure it out without having lengthy side conferences with their co-workers and managers???
Does anybody know what I have to do again with the address book to add this external 'sharing only' user account to the folder's privilege settings?
I assumme I have to re-boot my computer tomorrow and restore it from the Time Capsule. How do I do that? I cannot log in????
With the setup I had working for the last two month there were still issues with acces conflict to new subfolders and files inside the shared folder between me and the Macbook account user. I have read that the solution is to create a group and give the group access privileges to the folder. However, I could not find any details on the exact steps to follow. I need the exact steps, otherwise this will turn into the next nightmare. Where can I find this info.
I would really appreciate your help with answers and solutions to these complex issues
Thank you

File/Folder Sharing Problem

Hello,
I have just started using my iMac Intel and am encountering some problems that I imagine are caused by my own lack of knowledge of the OS.
Having successfully set up two user accounts, I am keen to share various folders from one account with the other; for example iPhoto.
From reading the Help and scanning the discussion boards I gathered that the User>Sharing folder was a good place to copy or move such data. So I copied the iPhoto folder from my account (let's call it the 'primary' account), to the other account (call it the 'secondary' account)
The problem I now see is that the iPhoto folder has the red and white 'no entry' sign next to it when I view it in Finder from the secondary account. And double clicking it informs me the secondary does not have sufficient privileges to access the folder.
All of the Help and Forums do not go into any suggestion that I need to change the access privileges of the on the Folder using the Finder>Get Info option. Nevertheless, I have done this by giving Group and Others 'Read-Write' access. This has allowed me to access the desired folder but there are no files present inside the folder.
I have read posts about the Multiple User option, this seems more complex than the Sharing option, and I am keen to prove the simple ways work before progressing on. But welcome anyone's advice and recommendations.
Cheers,
Starfish

There doesn't seem to be any actual support for Network Magic at the "Support" link - just a bunch of generic FAQs and links to this Forum. I was under the impression that some actual support people hung out here and might be able to research an actual question. I'm having what seems to be a "bug" where the hostname won't update, and I thought A) that someone in product development would care, and B) there might be a way to get it to refresh its information.

I have a problem sharing files between one PC and several others. A while back I changed hostnames for several of my PCs. The problem computer never updated the hostnames - it reports the old hostnames under View Details and Alerts. It's communicating, after a fashion - I can share a folder and it shows up in the other computers, but if I try to open it they report either that the network object can't be found or that permissions are insufficient.
I tried shutting down each PC, then removing it from the Map on the problem computer, then starting it back up and adding it back on the problem computer - but the old host names are retained, still. How can I correct this problem?

File/Folder Sharing - Between Leopard and Windows 7 RC

Apologies for the cross-posting. This is probably a better place to have the issue addressed.
Prior, our network setup had a shared XP folder that all PCs and Macs in the network could access (read/write). Now, due to a replaced computer, it is now running on Windows 7 (Vista was too slow). I've attempted to set that same folder to "shared" by using Advanced Sharing in 7, giving "Everyone" read/write access, but it does not seem to be working. The Macs see the computer in the Finder, but provide a Connection Failed message when it's clicked. On the 7 machine, the Shared resources item (where the shared printers, folders, etc. are displayed) does not have that folder listed.
Is there a known way to share folders on Windows 7 so that any computer can access it?

Turns out I was able to troubleshoot it into working (though the computer isn't yet showing up on the Shared sidebar). I simply turned off "simple" sharing, and set it up using Advanced Sharing with Everyone permissions. Then I turned off password access and changed the security down to 56/48-bit just in case (both of those options available on Advanced Network Settings page).

My iTunes library is on an old computer. Not enough memory to consolidate the associated MP3 files. Transferred library to new computer. How can I add the MP3's without having to re load every file / folder again? Thanks.

Hello, I'm trying to transfer my iTunes library from an old computer with small hard drive to a new windows 8 laptop. Much of my library consists of links to MP3/ 4 files etc but there isn't enough harddrive memory to consolidate the files into iTunes music folder. I downloaded the library onto an external hardrive and have installed it on the new computer. All files that were in iTunes music (now iTunes Media file) work fine. I have transferred over all my MP3 files but of course iTunes library wont play the file as there is no established link to the file and it asks whether iTunes should locate the file. I don't want to have to import every MP3 file/ folder all over again and then delete the unlinked entries in iTunes as this will take way too much time. Is there a way to sync all of these MP3 files to iTunes automatically or do I need to go back to start and somehow try and put the library back onto the hard drive and get the files consolidated to that from my old computer? Any help most gratefully recieved. Thanks.

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

How do make sure the only audio files in my "Audio Files" folder are what are currently used in my project?

I noticed my hard drive space was getting suspiciously low...
After doing a little digging I realized that every single audio file (even the ones i have deleted segments for in my projects' arrange windows) are being saved in every one of my projects' "Audio Files" folders.
One 4 minute song (comprised of 3 guitars, 1 bass, Midi drums, and a syth) has a cooresponding "Audio Files" folder containing over 1,600 Wav files and is consuming 3.0 + Gigs of hard drive space FROM THAT SONG ALONE!
It seems as if every take i have ever recorded (even If it is no longer represented in my projects's arrange windows) remains saved in these "Audio Files" folders.
Is there a setting/method to ensure what STAYS on my hard drive is only what is being used in the projects? There seems to be no logical reason for keeping every mistake that is otherwise deleted in the overall projects.
there must be... because hand-weeding out every file it too daunting a task to be feasible.....
THANKS!

Hi
When you delete a recorded region from the Arrange, Logic gives you an option to 'delete' or 'keep' the underlying audio file. You must've chosen to keep, or you have only been deleting regions which only refer to part of the file, so the whole audio file is still being 'used'.
One method of cleaning up is to go to the Audio Bin, choose Edit:Select Unused, and then Delete.
If you (really) want to tidy up further, you could use the Optimise Files function Audio Bin:Audio Files (but I'd suggest that you read up on that function in the manual to fully understand what it will do).

File Sharing over IPsec with RV220W

Hello all,
Ultimately, the issue is that I have two RV220Ws with an IPsec VPN tunnel between them that appears to be up but that I can't seem to get folder sharing going over. Here's the background.
I originally had two Netgear FVS318s set up with a VPN tunnel and everything worked as expected. I could connect to the server at the office from a machine at home and browse the files and more importantly do nightly backups of files that had changed at the office over the VPN to the house. The problem with the FVS318s was that for wireless I had to have another device and that the WAN to LAN throughput was something like 7Mbps. Kind of limiting when you consistently get 22Mbps from the ISP.
So, I bought two Cisco RV220Ws to replace them with. I started by replacing the one at home and was able to get it going with the FVS318 at the office. The VPN was stable and I had no problem browsing the files on the server as I had already been doing. A couple weeks later I replaced the FVS318 at the office with the other RV220W and the VPN came up fine but I lost all ability to file share between the two sites. I've watched the phase 1 and 2 negotiations and they look good from both ends. Looking at the IPsec Connection Status shows IPsec SA Established. I know that the tunnel is there because I can ping various machines at the other site from either end. I've tried just about everything I can think of but I just can not get file sharing going. The other issue is that while I can ping each of the RV220Ws from either end, when I try to hit the distant end's management console through a web browser, I get the initial SSL certificate warning that I click proceed on and then it just sits there spinning trying to load the management console on the distant RV220W. With the FVS318s I could hit the distant end management consoles via browser. So, here's more detail.
Site: Home
Subnet: 192.168.1.x
Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
Site: Office
Subnet: 10.2.10.x
Comcast Business Class Internet with a static IP
I know the difference between my static (inbound IP) and my gateway (outbound IP)
I tried creating firewall access rules by defining services as follows:
FS-TCP: 135 - 139 TCP
FS-UDP: 135 - 139 UDP
SMB-TCP: 445 TCP
SMB-UDP: 445 UDP
Then the firewall access rules as follows (I'll just give a couple examples so you'll get the gist)
Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
Action: Always allow
Service: SMB-TCP
Source IP: Single IP
Start: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (this is the gateway IP of the distant end at home)
Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
When that wasn't working, I created another set of rules for the internal IPs of the distant end as follows:
Connection type: Inbound (WAN(Internet) > LAN (local network))
Action: Always allow
Service: SMB-TCP
Source IP: Address Range
Start: 192.168.1.1
Finish: 192.168.1.254
Send to Local Server (DNAT IP): 10.2.10.x (the static IP of the server)
I also enabled Remote Management of the RV220W as:
Access Type: Single IP address
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (gateway IP of the distant end at home)
Port 443
When that didn't work, I created two additional firewall rules for port 443 for the home gateway IP and the internal 192.168.1.x IPs. Still no go.
So this is where I'm stuck. In the FVS318s I did not have to create any firewall rules for the VPN traffic. I started off with no rules for the RV220W because I didn't expect it'd need them and then I began adding the firewall rules in order to troubleshoot. Here's the funny thing. If I drop the FVS318 back into place at the office site, it all works as expected.
So where do I go from here guys? About the only thing I haven't done is burn down the VPN tunnel in the RV220Ws and I haven't done that because I can ping hosts on either end and if I drop the FVS318 back into place it works fine. I'm totally stumped and would sincerely appreciate any assistance anyone could provide. If you need additional configuration information, I can provide that.
Thanks.

Thanks for answering, I was beginning to worry nobody had any idea how to help.
The IP subnets did not change on either end.
I am using the IP address to map. Critical machines are either static IP or reserved in DHCP and are all in the IP range of the VPN Policy.
I can ping distant end machines in both directions by IP through the tunnel but I can not ping by hostname. I do not have NETBIOS enabled on the VPN policy. I'm using OpenDNS on both sides, so when I try to ping the hostname of the server I get the opendns.com IP back because it couldn't resolve the IP of the hostname during the lookup.
Sorry for the delay in replying. Unfortunately, one end is at home, the other at my wife's business. During the day, I'm at work on the other side of town from both.

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.

Windows 2008 : How to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder

Hello All,
I need to Restrict Users to Copy file from Shared Folder. Please let me know is there any method to achieve this requirement.

If user have Read permission, they can copy it. So actually you cannot restrict user from copy your files if they could read/edit.
Some programs could help restrict users from edit/modify/copy the content of their files such as Office files, PDF files etc as Oscar said above.

File Sharing over web interface?

I am trying to figure out a solution.
We are an advertising agency that we need to transfter files between our studio and clients (which are mostly PC based and cannot connect to conventional ftp server) so we are looking at creating something like dropbox.com.
I don't mind to work over afp, smb, ftp or WebDav, but I need an nice enough interface and it's got to support OS X server's user/ permission ACL.
I know for calendars, Mac OS X server has built an web interface out-of-the-box, but how about file sharing over web?
Anyone sharing any thoughts?

As I said in my original post, I'm not using Firewire Target Disk mode because it requires a full shutdown of one of the computer (usually my laptop) each time I want to access files from the other computer.
I don't know about you, but usually I've got several things going at the same time on my computers and I'd rather not have to fully shut down the MacBook Pro several times a day.
ps - directing me to a different solution doesn't explain why things aren't working properly in the first place, but thanks anyway

How to store files in shared-folder in background mode

Hello All,
My requirement seems to be simple but I have tried many ways in achieving this, but failed. So require the help in accomplishing this task.
Requirement
I have to create a program in SE38 which will create a internal table with data in it in .XML format(which I can achieve).
My requirement is this .XML file needs to be placed in a shared-folder in "BACKGROUND MODE".
I have tried using GUI_DOWNLOAD function module, but this FM only runs in Foreground mode and fails in Background mode. I have tried convincing my client that I will keep the file in Application Server as it is achievable using OPEN DATASET statements, but they are not willing to accept this.
So can you please help me in achieving this task as I am not getting any solution how to keep the file in Shared-folder in BACKGROUND mode itself(not Foreground).
Best Regards,
Tousif

When I run this program in foreground mode, the file gets saved(here in the above example I have just used my desktop path. but the actual requirement is to store file in shared-folder i-e Network Drive).
But when i run the same program in background mode, No file is getting stored.

Shared File/Folder encryption on OS X Mavericks Server.

Hi,
I have a MAC mini running OS X Mavericks Server with RAID 1 disks. The MAC mini server is configured as a file server sharing a folder/files with other MACs and Windows clients. As far as I know file vault disk encryption is not supported with RAID disks. Is it possible to encrypt a single shared folder/files on a MAC mini server with OS X Mavericks and continue making it available as a shared resource for Windows and MAC users? If so, have anyone tried this successfully? Is there a third party software required for this? What happens if the encrypted folder/files if one of the RAID 1 disks fails? Is it necessary to decrypt the folder/files first before rebuilding the RAID? Finally, assuming the it's possible to encrypt just a single shared folder/files, I assume that the folder will not be accessible if the disk is plugged in on another MAC - just like if the entire disk was encrypted with file vault, correct?
Thanks in advance.

HT3486 Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my lan?

Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my LAN?

Mac yes.. use BTMM and iCloud or direct AFP connection to the TC.
There is huge amount of info.. just look up remote access time capsule.
PC no.. there is no AFP protocol application that I know of.
iPad no,.. again it is not an AFP protocol device. The only open access method apple allowed is BTMM which doesn't work for ipad.
If you want access for PC and ipad you need to replace the current modem router combo.. whatever it is with one that includes vpn server endpoints.. these can be fairly cheap.. plenty of products with 3rd party firmware will work. VPN is far superior method.

Hi iednolb
Like the original poster,T, I am having very similar problems, so have been following your advice with interest, but no success.
My details as follows : Vista, 32bit, IE 8 My only AV is Kaspersky using their firewall not Windows,
Flash was working fine, then some malware was discovered and subsequently deleted since then Flash has not worked in You Tube for example.
Like T said in his original post the exact applies regards the Shockwave Flash Object not being listed in my Internet add ons.
My files listed under Flash differ though :
Flash101ocx
FlashInstall
FlashUti101_ActiveX.dll
FlashUti101_ActiveX (note no .dll ) I assume the uninstaller and no install mentioned
As I said I have tried most of the suggestions to the letter made here and on other forums but no joy.
Appreciate any further advice, especially on the missing install entry and the add ons section.
Thanks.
