File share folder quota

My office has a common mac that we use for backing up our laptops. I have setup folders for each office member with password controls via the file sharing preference panel (very cool feature in 10.5).
What I can't figure out is how to set a size limit (quota) on each folder. I do not want users backing up their entire music or video collections because the 400GB backup drive won't take that kind of abuse. Is there a way to set a max size for each folder?

Since noone seems to be responding, I'll throw a couple of ideas out there, but you will have to work out the details, which will probably require a little work and some reading... It might be possible to enable quota support, as described here:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030808130810285
I haven't tested it in 10.5 but quotas were working in 10.3 and 10.4, with the limitations mentioned in the comments. One thing not mentioned is that the AFP server preferences apparently have to be tweaked to set the ' updateHomeDirQuota ' property to true so that the quotas are applied when adding files over afp.
Alternatively, a less reliable, potentially riskier method might be to use fixed-size disk images for the user folders. The drawbacks include having to make sure the images get mounted before anyone connects, and the inherent risks of storing everything in a single flat file.

An impersonation error occurred using the security context of the current user. -- Report server is on remote server and file share folder is on local server

I have deployed a report on the server (e.g. remoteserver\reports) from my local machine. I opened the report in browser in my local machine and created a new subscription with windows file share delivery option.
But its giving an error "Failure writing file \\localserver\subscriptions\Report1.xls : An impersonation error occurred using the security context of the current user." Here "subscriptions"
is the folder which I have created in my local machine.
I followed the instructions found in the link "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157386.aspx"
Please help to solve this issue.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I have followed the same process. The credentials which I have given are same as my PC. But I am getting the same error. Can you please clarify the statement "Service
account that is using for file share subscription should have write access to shared folder."
given in the above link?
I am the one who created the folder and subscribing the report, so probably I have the full write permissions to the shared folder. What is the service account in this context?
I think the problem is, I am deploying the report on the server and creating the shared folder in the local machine. I tried giving shared folder permissions to the user on the server. But my local machine is in local domain and I cant access the users on
the remote server. Do I need to create a shared folder on the server? I am new to SSRS. Please help me.
PS: I have assigned with all roles viz. Browser, Content Manager, Publisher, Report Builder etc. and My Role name (WEBSERVER\User)
is different from my local user name (domain\username) in domain.

Indexing a file shared folder with pictures

Hi,
I added a content source which is a file share folder which contains pictures and presentations and indexed it.
When i search from sharepoint somehow i find only the files which are not pictures... any ideas? i want to set it to find all pictures files when search the file name or any other property which was edited (in windows explorer view)
keren tsur

I just realized that i should add to "file types" the file extensions of pictures (jpg, png etc.)!
Although in case it's in SharePoint - the pictures are found without such a definition, when it's in file share - unless i added the file types - the index ignored those files

Configuring quorum file share witness access denied

in failover cluster administrator, when I try to configure the quorum for file share witness, it keeps coming up and say access denied.
any idea? I created the share as a domain admin and I am running the failover cluster admin as a domain admin

Hi JonDoe321,
From the error information It must the file share folder don’t meet the permission requirement, For the folder that the file share uses, make sure that the administrator has
Full Control share and NTFS permissions, grant the CNO on the file share with full control right, you can refer the following KB to realize the detail requirement.

Steps to save a Query/Report as Excel file in Share folder

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to schedule a BI report automatically on a daily basis and save it in a Sharepoint folder as a excel file. I have gone through the Forums but didnt get a clear idea on how to proceed this with. I read about RSCRM_BAPI transaction but i hope we need to do this manually to save the file each time. Also, in Broadcaster there are options only to send Email & save in Portal.
So, if anybody have idea on saving a Query/Report as excel file in a Share folder automatically, kindly help me in suggesting the steps to do this activity.

Hi
1. Create Three Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1, F2 and F3.
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv).
3. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , first check the file is there are not in F1, if yes then rename the file with date and time or date and transfer the files from F1 to F2 i.e xyz06032010.csv.
4. Then Create a small ABAP program to check the file in F2, if it is there then Trigger the Event, and using that event you execute teh PC.
5. Then using UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3 i.e xyz06032010.csv
6. Next day morning F1 and F2 are empty and F3 is having the backup files.
So use this method, I used the similar logic and it is working fine.
Timinings are importent i.e what time you need to dump the fule in F1 and what time you need to run UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F1 to F2 and what time UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script , transfer the files from F2 to F3.
OR
1. Create Two Floders in AL11 i.e. in Apllication Server. Eg Name it F1 and F2
2. First dump the .csv files into F1. (Name xyz.csv)
3. Then load the data using InfoPackage, through PC.
4. At the end of the load Attach a simple Program to Move the xyz.csv file from F1 to F2.
5. So next day the file will come to F1 and the it will load and at the end it will move to F2.
Else you can use simple one or two lines of UNIX/WINDOWS (depends on your OS) script to move the file from F1 to F2 , once you load is over.
While moving the file from F1 to F2 you can append the date at the end of the file and then move to F2, it is use full for future reference.
See Blogs and Article, similar logic...

File adapter(receiver) to generate file in remote windows share folder?

Hello gurus,
1.Is that possible, to use the file adapter(NFS) to generate a file in a remote windows share folder?
How can i specify the target directory field?
2.Another question, when i specify the target directory like rootFolder/subFolder, then the file is generated in the folder
/usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/rootFolder/subFolder.
Why did it put my path as sub-folder of /usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0?
Can i put it in another place? or even start from the root?
Best regards, Charlie

> 1.Is that possible, to use the file adapter(NFS) to generate a file in a remote windows share folder?
This is possible only, when your PI system is installed on Windows OS also.
> How can i specify the target directory field?
The same way as you access it from your Windows Explorer.
> Why did it put my path as sub-folder of /usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0?
Because this is the working directory of the Adapter Engine
> Can i put it in another place? or even start from the root?
Yes, of course. Why you do not simply try it?

I want to screen/file share from my Macbook Pro to IMac. I can't see it when I open the Shared folder.

From my macbook..I have a few times seen the IMac listed on the devices list. I don't know what I did to make it appear but I was able to
file share..etc. Now ...when I open Sharing folder from laptop..I see "IMac" as Computer name. Should this be changed? Screen Sharing:On..Allow access for all users is checked. I don't know how to launch my Imac screen again. Please advise. Thanks!

If screen share it turned on with both computers there are several ways to then screen share. First ensure Screen Sharing is selected on each computer in System Preferences - Sharing. Once this is done then open a Finder Window on the Left you will see Shared on the left side, then click the computer you want to share and you will see a screen like the following. From there click where it says Screen Share.

Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

I was wondering whether it had anything to do with the network I was using. The router I am using can't access the internet and I am using the basic 192.168.1.X setup with 255.255.255.0 as the mask.
My computer has an ip of 192.168.1.2 and the xbox has an ip of 192.168.1.3. However, I am still unable to ping the xbox or even see it show up in the network. I did notice that whenever I am using another router that is connected to the internet, I can see other windows based computers in the network tab in thunar under "windows network"
Also, I do have a username and password associated with the samba setup.. so I assume maybe that has something do with it. I checked the permissions of the share folder and it was root:root with read and write permissions. I know samba is working fairly well.. but for whatever reason I can't get the xbox to connect even while it is on the same local network.

Vendor file on FTP folder. Current prg is designed to pick frm share folder

As per the agreement, Vendor will place the file on FTP folder. Currently program is designed to pick the file from the share folder. Make the changes to the program to pick the file directly from the FTP folder.
currently getting the file from CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_XLS_TO_SAP'.
please help me how can i change the path to FTP folder.
ftp://dtp.corp.com/nova

Hi ,
It is possible to pick the file from the FTP site using login credentials. Please check standard program RSFTP002 , on giving the crdentials of the user and concerned command to be executed on the FTP(example dir command to look list of files in a directory of the FTP site).
The standard program will use function modules to connect and execute commands on FTP site.
SAP will support only FTP not secured FTP. Please make sure of this before you work on.

SMB File Share Storage Failover Cluster "path is not valid folder path"

I am having an issue that I am scratching my head over. So I have setup a 3 node Hyper-V host cluster that I am attempting to use SMB File Share storage for the shared storage medium. I have been trying to migrate a virtual machine from one of the nodes
local storage into the file share using System Center VMM 2012 R2 with UR5 however I keep getting the message "The specified path is not a valid folder path on node2.domain.com" for the storage that VMM automatically selects for placement of files
from the migration. However what is odd is to the same file share for storage I can do a new deployment of a virtual machine to the same cluster with the same shares; I can also delete a virtual machine from the share fine; the file share for the virtual machine
I library I am deploying machines from is the same server as the file shares for the cluster that I am deploying to so maybe that is why that succeeds; if I try to move the recently deployed VM from one file share to another for storage same error comes up.
The three nodes all reference the same file server, which is just one file server for the storage, and the shares were created in VMM and as such the file share permissions were setup by VMM so they should be sufficient. I have also attempted this with both
delegation of CIFS and without through AD (trust to specified computers with CIFS, Hyper-V Replica and Microsoft Virtual Console Service via Kerberos only).
I am stumped as to what to check next or how to get this working and would appreciate any guidance anyone can give towards a resolution for this problem.

Jeff,
Thanks for reporting this.
There's an known issue with UR5 that VMM gives wrong error when deploying a HAVM onto a SMB share. In that situation, VMM complains "Invalid folder path".
To confirm you are hitting the same issue, would you kindly let me know:
1. Are you trying to migrate a HighlyAvailable VM onto the SMB share?
2. On UI of "Migrate Storage Wizard", if you click "Browse", do you see the target file share showing up in "Select Destination Folder" dialog?
3. By "the three nodes all reference the same file server", I assume you added the target file share onto the list of File Share Storage thru the cluster's properties UI. If so, please go to the UI and check whether the access status shows
green there.
4. By "local storage", do you mean "local disk"? Or a shared LUN from any array? I assume it's not "available storage" or "CSV" of the cluster. Please double confirm.
Note: If we are sure hitting the known issue, I will later re-direct you to a hotfix. But let's make sure it is the issue first.
Look forward to your reply.

File server 2008 R2 Multiple share folder , single user show only single folder , not show any other folder

I've installed windows 2008 standard r2 server. 2. Configured a domain. 3. Joined 10 clients to the server. 4. Created shared folders on the sever restricting to users. (ex.USERNAME:system01 can access a shared folder:system01 only) 5. I need to give the
below permissions only. Please let me know the permission combination. Read / write / modify - allow access Delete / cut and copy from server - deny access Basically elaborating the current scenario. 1.Server has multiple shared folders where the users
are asked to put in their data
host name :system01 user logging in:system01 shared folder for the user in server:system01 so is for others also. 2.Example ,system01,system02,system03. Only user 'system01'
will be able to access 'system01' shared folder so is others too. System01 show only single share folder at system 3.Basically to avoid all kind of confusion I have named host name of systems also the same way.

Hi,
When you grant users "read" permission, then copying is possible and if you grant users "modify" permissions, they can also have "cut" permissions.
The 'system01' share folder is created by user 'system01'? If so, you could grant "creator owner" permissions to configure users only can access their own folder.

Mandy

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.
