File Sharing permissions not saving on second drive

Hello,
in my Mac Pro running 10.5.6 I have a second drive that I recently installed, This drive has two folders in it that i wish to share. So I did the following steps:
System Preferences > Sharing > File Sharing (SMB Sharing is being used as well as AFP)
I then clicked the Shared Folders + and added folder1
The following users were automatically added
MyAccount Read and Write
MyAccount Read and Write
Everyone Read and Write
Whenever i edit these permissions or attempt to add another user everything seems to of gone fine, but when i close System Preferences and reload it i get the following
folder1 is still shared
and the permissions are still the same as above.
I've looked at editting the smb.conf file in /etc/smb.conf but i don't want to do that unless necessary. Also it doesn't appear that any of the other settings are saved here any information would be appreciated.
Thanks

This was due to the disk being a DOS-format

Problem with File Sharing-Permissions throughout Folders

I'm having an odd problem when setting up a Mac Pro with File Sharing. I have a second Hard Drive in it which is a Server Drive to be shared as a networked Hard Drive for both my MBP and my Fiancee's MBP. Here is the problem I have.
I set up File Sharing and set up both her ID and my ID. Since this is done she is able to get to drive from my MBP and she is able to get to the drive from her MBP. I am able to read or write to those folders. She is able to view them but is unable to write to them.
I went to the Server Drive icon on the Mac Pro's Desktop. When I right click and do "Get Info" and select Sharing I can tell her ID is not listed on any of the Folders. She is listed as Read and Write for the entire Hard Drive (which is an internal drive). I am also listed as Read and WRite and then it lists Everyone and says No Access. The same is listed in System Preferences in File Sharing. I have heard this Everyone 'No Access' can cause problems but I prefer not to give access to everyone. The only other option is Read Only and Read and Write. Also, when I have Everyone selected the - sign is greyed out so I'm unable to remove Everyone.
To continue, what is strange is I thought with it saying on the Server Drive itself for my Fiancee, read & write, that it would say this on every Folder inside. Yet when I select any Folder inside on the Server Drive and select Get Info it says for me "Read & Write" and for Staff "Read Only" and for Everyone "Read only" I'm not even sure where Staff comes fro and of course Everyone is Read Only and my Fiancee not even listed. It just seems that these file sharing permissions are not replicated througout all the Folders when I select it for the Hard Drive itself. What could be causing this and how can I get the same to go throughout the Folders? I know manually I could change them all but this would take a long time and likely still be a problem when any additional Folders are added.

1. I have turned logged into it from my MBP while at Home and if I'm logged in as Guest I only see the Server Drive which is good. My concern is that if I log in with my login I then sell all Folders including the Main 'Macintosh HD' At least as a guest I can only see the Server Drive but is it any way I can stop it from showing all the other folders on the computer since I have no reason to do that?
When you login to a mac as an administrator it is normal to see all the contents of the volumes connected to that mac.
2. Also, I would like to disable all access for Guest. Yet I have it list Everyone or Guest in the file sharing and I have no way of deleting this. I don't want a Guest to be able to connect to this computer or share any files at all on it. Is there any way to disable this?
Goto system preferernces-->accounts
click on the lock to and enter your password to unlock the preference pane.
Then select the guest account. Then uncheck the 2 check boxes. The account should now have 'disabled' underneath it.
3. Security: How secure is this? I am using it on a Home Wi-Fi network with an Airport Base Station 1GB. I have the Leopard filewall set to "Set Access for Specific Services" since it won't work with "Allow only essential services" I hope my home network is more security but with Back to my Mac how hard would it be for someone to be able to find this computer on the network? I don't do any filesharing on my MBP but do have it set up for File Sharing but only with my login ID.
If you have your base station set to distribute ip addresses then it is acting as a NAT router and will firewall you.
I have not setup back to my mac yet so can't comment on its security. Although I would suggest a strong password.
have a read of Mac OS X 10.5: About Back to My Mac security
My method of remote access is to use SSH and run screen sharing over an SSH tunnel.

Hi!
I have a WD my book external hard drive plugged into my imac and I want to share it over my network with my apple tv. I went into system preferences > sharing, checked "file sharing" and added my external hard drive to the shared folder. So now it is listed in "shared folders" but under "users" everything is grayed out (it says "read and write" for "everyone" - but "read and write" is grayed out, and it doesn't let me add or subtract users). Now I can access all of the folders I shared from my imac except for the externalhard drive. What's going on?

Hi RRFS!,thanks for help.I forgot to tell that hard drive has 2 partitions 1:format :Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and that works properly,2:format:MS-DOS (FAT32) and when i "get info" for both :first has shering & permitions:You can read and write - with name and privilege, second has shaing & prermissions:You can read and write- without name and privilege

file sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

File Sharing Permissions Problem When NEW Files Created

My wife & I have a home office network setup for our business, and are having trouble with shared files over the network. We're both on Macs, and all of our client files reside on an internal hard drive in my Mac Pro. I've set her up as a "Sharing Only" user on my computer (which matches the username & password of her account on her iMac), and have properly setup file sharing in both the System Preferences, and in the directory itself that we want shared. I've also applied the permissions to all files & folders below the main folder, and she can view, open and save whatever she needs and it works great.
*Here's where the problem comes in...* If either of us create a NEW file or folder, the other person doesn't have WRITE access to it (we can browse and open it fine). The second I go to update a file she created, it won't let me over-write it, and I have to go into the permissions for that specific file and give myself Read/Write access. I've experimented with "Groups", and assigned both of us a special group, and applied that group access to that directory, but it doesn't make any difference when a NEW file or folder is created - it doesn't copy the parent directory permissions to itself, it makes one of us the owner, and nobody else has access.
Is there any way around this? We're both constantly creating new files, and it really hampers our workflow to have to keep re-applying file permissions every time one of us creates something new. Ideally, any new files created within that main client folder would automatically have the same permissions as the parent directory. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

Here's how to do this with Access Control Lists.
1) Go to System Preferences -> Accounts. Unlock the padlock. Click the + button. Make a new group. Call this group "sharing" for the purposes of this exercise. Add the users you want to the group.
2) Make a new empty folder in /Users/Shared. Call it "sharefolder".
3) Log in to an admin account and paste all three of these lines at once into Terminal:
sudo chmod +a "sharing allow delete,chown,list,search,add_file,\
addsubdirectory,delete_child,file_inherit,directoryinherit" \
/Users/Shared/sharefolder
4) From now on, any files you create or copy to the sharefolder or to any of its subfolders will inherit read+write permission for all users in the group. If you have any existing files that you want to move into the sharefolder, a simple move by drag & drop won't cause the permissions to propagate. you need to hold down the option key while dragging them in. This will copy them over, ensuring that the ACL permission is properly inherited.
One other caveat: Files created by a small number of OS X apps won't inherit the permissions properly if saved directly into the ACL folder hierarchy. TextEdit is one such app. Save TextEdit files in a temporary location first, and then copy them in. Then they will have the correct permissions.

CS4 files from pc not saving on Mac CS5

I did some illustrations in CS4 (v11.0.2) on a PC and now the client is having a problem working with them in CS5 on his Mac. I did seven illustrations for a book our church is publishing. I provided the illustrations to the graphic designer who is using CS5 and Indesign. He transferred the illustrations to his computer and opened them in CS5 but after making adjustments to them when he attempts to save them he gets a box saying;
“the file is locked or you don't have access privileges to the file or folder”
He also tried saving them BEFORE he made adjustments and has the same problem.
Upon hitting “command i” it shows the file is NOT locked. He tried saving them to PSD, EPS and Layered Tifs and got the same message as above.
I went back to my studio and re-saved the files making sure “maximum compatibility” was checked. Then I saved them again as layered tifs in the Mac byte order. I even took them to an older computer and saved them using Photoshop 7. Still, the designer gets the same message and is unable to save them.
I'm an illustrator and have worked exclusively digitally for ten years and have never had this problem before. The files are layered files and are about 25mb each. There are two things that are different about these files than other files I've created in the past.
I changed the color profile to Adobe RGB (1998). This was so the image looked the same in CS4 and in Painter 11. I use both programs to do my painting. Again, this has never caused a problem and I always do the final save in CS4.
I deleted the “background” layer before saving the file. This was because the client wanted a “ragged” edge to the illustration and wanted to drop the image onto a toned background paper.
I don't see why these things would effect the ability to save the file in CS5, but maybe someone else does.
I'd really appreciate any help on this. The deadline date when the book has to go to the publisher is very close.

I just got a call from the designer. He moved the files into a different folder (he had dragged the folder containing the files directly from my disk and flash drive) and they save properly now. Apparently the permissions problem was originating from the folder they were in.

Trying to understand File Sharing (need to share an external drive)

Hello,
I feel a bit dumb, but after years of getting along without really understanding, I feel I need to get to the basics of file sharing and permissions now.
We have a small office, and use a MacMini (10.6.4 Client) to serve files. Those files are in a folder called 'data' on an external drive.
The Mini has two users set up, 'admin' and 'user'. I want everyone to log in via AFP as 'user' to access the 'data' folder.
Until now our setup was a 10.4 machine, with the third-party application Sharepoints by Hornware managing the sharing. Now with 10.6 I know I should be able to do without that.
I've removed all user's Public folders from the System Preferences/Sharing pane, and added the 'data' folder. I've added the 'user' user to it, and have given it read/write access. Also, I've done the same for the 'admin' user.
Now I'm unsure if I need to change permissions to the 300GB worth of files on that external drive. (that's question #1.)
If I look at those files from a client machine, logged in as 'user', Finder tells me they belong to 'unknown'.
Question #2: If I understand correctly, the settings on the server's Sharing preferences pane only apply for ACCESS to the shared folder (i.e. they make it possible to log in via AFP). These settings don't do anything to ownership and permissions on the shared files, right? (not sure here!)
Grateful if anybody can shed light on this!

If you want to allow anyone accessing as "user" to be able to read or write all files on that volume, you could do that. You should also be able to set the volume attribute to ignore ownership:
http://www.peachpit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=mac&seqNum=256
If I look at those files from a client machine, logged in as 'user', Finder tells me they belong to 'unknown'.
I imagine that they're owned by a user with a user ID that's not present on that machine.
Question #2: If I understand correctly, the settings on the server's Sharing preferences pane only apply for ACCESS to the shared folder (i.e. they make it possible to log in via AFP).
If that were the case, there would be no need for the "Read & Write" / "Read Only" setting in the Sharing panel.

OS X File Sharing permissions

I have set up a small office network over a WLAN, in which I have computers H2 & H3, which are Mac Minis (late 2012, i5 dual core, 4GB RAM), and two MacBook Pros (late 2008 and late 2010). I am using H3 to store the project folders and have given permissions to various sharing-only users (A, B, C) I created on H3 System Preferences as read only or read and write according to the projects they are working on. This all seemed to work ok, but strange things started to happen:
1. If A is using H2 (or a MBP) and logs in to a project folder on H3 to which he has read and write permissions, and creates a new sub-folder within this, often (but not always) the owner of the folder sitting at H3 cannot see the contents of the new sub-folder. The folder icon shows up with a small red circle with a white dash through it, and says that I do not have permissions to view that sub-folder.
2. For a user at H3 to delete the folder created remotely by A (either from H2 or one of the MacBook Pros) an admin password is required. Why should this happen? H3 is the owner of the folder, and as it lives locally on his drive surely he should be able to do this? It seems to require going into System Preferences>File Sharing, right clicking the folder in questions, and selecting "Apply Permission to Enclosed Items" after which it's possible to delete the folder. However this is a pain to keep doing every time one wants to delete a folder.
3. Once a user is logged in sometimes it is not possible for him to disconnect
Please advise as I am trying to work in an organised way using File Sharing but keep getting stumped.
Spent nearly 2 hours on phone with Apple Support, who first advised software update to 10.9.5, and when this still didn't resolve the issue they seem to be stumped too!

By default, Mac uses POSIX permissions which do not inherit to the sub folders and you are forced to do the apply permissions to apply the permissions on the top level folders to the items created below. You need to set ACL permissions on the folder for the files to pull the inherited permissions. This is easily done with Mac Server, however it sounds like you are not using the server app so you will need to use the chmod commands in terminal in order to set the ACL permissions. If you Google something like "set acl permissions mac os 10.9," there are a number of articles with different ways you can set them and get them working the way you are looking for.

File sharing permissions for AD Domain Admins?

I've binded Mavericks to a Windows network with Active Directory, turned on File Sharing under System Preferences > Sharing, and added the Domain Admins group; how can I configure permissions so that the Domain Admins can read and write to and from all files and folders on the MAC HD without affecting other user's permissions?
If I "apply to enclosed items..." the Domain Admins' Read & Write permissions from the root volume then Everyone (gets unintentionally propagated) can access all files!
Ideally, the Domain Admins need the same permissions as the root administrator even after a new user has logged onto the MAC and had their Home Folders created in the future; In other words I need them to be able to access files and folders for all accounts past, present and future, but all other user's access must stay the same. Does that make sense?
Is this even possible with AD binding? Would having a MAC OSX Server/Open Directory facilitate this better?
Any help would be much appreciated!

I tried adding the Domain Admins to the wheel group, but that never helped either. Also the "apply to enclose items" only seems to work for the entire share (left side)--not individual users or groups (right sde).

File sharing can not open files when transferred.

File sharing. When files are sent over to folder on mac can not open message comes up " you do not have permission to open the document"
Had no problem before loading 10.9.

Files are coming from another computer on the network and they put the files into a folder on the deck top. When I try to open them I found that I had to select the folder and "get info" and go down to the gear and select "apply to enclosed items" It seems once I take the files out of the folder it reverts back to the default. Then I have to reset it each time to open new files. In Sharing & permissions I have all the privileges set for read & write is there another way to set it as a default to be able to open the files with going to the gear each time?.

Apple File Sharing Permissions

I have a folder I'd like to share that is located on a Snow Leopard Machine. I'd like all the users to mount the folder over AFP (Apple file sharing, not Samba or FTP) but mount it as read-only. The folder itself has permissions on it that allow 1 admin user account read/write access, and Everyone else Read-only access. There is only 1 other user account on the machine. Let's call these "admin" and "user1". user1 should have read-only access to the folder. But when I connect to the Snow Leopard machine and mount the folder, it's read/write. The only way I can have the folder mounted using the user1 account and keep it read-only is to also set permissions for admin to be read-only.
Why would this be the case? Why is AFP granting read/write access to every user if the only user that should have it is admin?

Previously, you didn't have Read and execute permissions for the group, now you do.
Also, it didn't list any ACLs under the listing?
You can set ACLs with chmod, but you can also set them up with the sharing preferences. When you give other people access, it sets the appropriate ACLs. I would use the Sharing prefs set them.

How to recover a file downloaded but not saved in firefox.(when downloading gave the open option instead of save)

Version: Firefox4Beta
OS: Windows7

Thanks n regards,
Ponnukumar.S

hi,
Thanks for ur reply.
But i already searched the windows and looked for that file.. But its not anywhere to be found. See first while downloading i gave the open option instead of save. So after the completion of the download the file opened automatically in winRAR. I tried to extract that file then it gave me some error. After that i closed the winrar and searched for that file in windows with search option but its not seen anywhere.
Thanks n regards,
S.Ponnukumar

Mac OS 9 AFP file sharing volume not visible under Mac OS 10.5

An old blue-white PowerMac G3 running Mac OS 9.2.2 with file sharing on is not visible on the network for a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.5. – However, a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.11 perfectly shows the G3.
Connecting to the G3 works on the new MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5 if I use the server's IP-address (afp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) but does not work if I use the server's name (afp://<servername>).
All other shares on the network are visible for both the MacBook Pro running OS X 10.5 and the PowerBook G4 running OS X 10.4.
Why does the MacBook Pro with Mac OS X 10.5.5 not show the G3?
Why can't I connect to the G3 using its AFP name?

I think this is because there is no AppleTalk on Leopard.
Ah, I stand corrected........
Go to SystemPreferences > Network
Select your connection in the left column. Advanced > AppleTalk
Enable AppleTalk for your connection.

File Sharing permissions

I have 2 iBooks in the same office. They are set for file sharing. I have trouble moving files from one computer to the other. Always get the message that I don't have the proper permissions. How does one resolve this problem - so that all files can be easily moved from one computer to the other?
Thanks
Charles

Not sure what folders you['re trying to copy/move from/to.
Go get SharePoints from , http://www.hornware.com
Install on both macs.
Configure shared folders & permissions using this fine utility.
(sharepoints app manages the samba server files that regulate sharing permissions. It's a GUI view into the smb.conf setup)
