Files on mac server invisible for windows user

Hi,
Our school have a mac file server for sharing all the teachers' source.
The problem is that when I login with my account in windows, some folders are invisible but when I login in Mac folders are visible.
All the protocols are running well, AFP, FTP, MySQL, SMB and Web.
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Tony

So you actually got the windows computers to connect to the server???? HOW?

Exported Word files set off virus alerts for Windows users.

Work for a communications agency. Many of us prefer to write our copy in Pages, then export to Word files when sending over to clients to review. But, our exported "Word" files set off all our clients virus alerts like clockwork. Is there any way to prevent this besides exporting to RTF or PDF?
I've been told that Pages files exported out to Word files contain benign "macros" under the hood. And that virus alert programs on the Windows side see these macros (however harmless they are) and warn the user to not open, or trash the files.
This is causing hardship for us wanting to switch over to using Pages full-time. To our clients, it makes it seem as if we are careless, or are sending them files with viruses all the time.

As far as I know, there is no macro in files created by the Pages export process.
I'm on the Pages forums since two years and never read any message about such a behavior.
My guess is that the problem is not in Pages.
Maybe you are using the same anti-virus than my brother.
It rejects all jpegs claiming that they have a virus embedded

Os x serve 4 and windows users

Hello,
just migrated one of my servers to Yosemite 10.10.1 and Server 4.0.
the objective is a share files between mac and windows users within a group (meaning all of them can see, read and write all files within the sharepoint).
the directory is shared with AFP and SMB, the group of users has read/write access on the directory (users and group are managed in OD).
I added ACLs on the directory : the group of users is full control on the sharepoint. And I propageted all permissions to subfolders and files.
Everything works fine for Mac users, but not for Windows users : when they open a file they got a message saying that the file is already opened by an another application. Same issue if the windows user write a new file on the server.
If i look at the permission on a subfolder, there is the full control for the group. If I look at a file (whatever from a mac or windows), there is a special access.
I think the problem is there, but how to solve.
Does somebody knows any magic command line to force propagation of ACL and permissions to files ? or any tips to solve that issue ?
Thanks for any help
Regards, Thomas

Hi
OK I have tried pritty much all the suggestions so far...the MAC has no problem connecting to the PC (there's no surprise! - it worked straight away but the PC cannot connect to the mac - here's what happens:
I have the correct IP address and when I enter in the IP address and my short username, the PC prompts me with a username and password box as you would expect...but when I enter in the details, it just throws up another username and password dialog box and has changed the username to PCCOMPUTER/the-username-I-just-entered - so I click ok again, and it just throws the dialog box up again. I feel like I am so close, yet so far to connecting the PC to the Mac - it seems to get stuck in a loop at the last moment. Any ideas what could solve the problem?
It doesn't seem to be a firewall problem as I turned them all off - and still got the same problem.
Any other ideas?

Leopard / Bootcamp / Vista / Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows

On the apple page it says I can copy files from mac to windows?
"Copy Files Between Mac OS X and Windows
Copy, open, modify, or delete files in Mac OS X that you saved to your Windows partition. Leopard understands the Windows FAT32 disk format."
I tried installing Vista in bootcamp, but it says I cannot install in FAT32? So i format it to NTFS.
So here's my question, Can i still copy files between mac and pc, if I format into NTFS or am using vista?
Thanks

I am quite a simple soul really and very easily pleased.
All I seek is a partition of some sort that I can save all my created work to - whether in XP Pro or OS X 10.5. But it has to be a large partition - probably a single partition on a large drive.
It would be sweeter still for Spotlight to do what it does (and it does on a FAT partition) and sweeter still for Time Machine to be very user friendly and do what it presently does not do and include created files into the TM.
Now that really would be very pleasant. Very pleasant indeed.

CF Admin login fails (invalid pw) for Windows User other than the one used to install CF 10

I installed CF 10 on a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard having logged into the server as a Windows user in the administrator group. I set up CF 10 Administrator to use a single password (the default). I can log into CF Admin when authenticating to the server with the same Windows credentials used when installing CF 10 but if I log into the server as another Windows user in the administrator group I cannot log into CF Admin; I get an Invalid Password error. I thought the whole point of the single password was so that anyone who can log into the server could log into CF Admin. It works like that for my CF 8 and CF 9 machines.

It is a new design, based on security issues that arose in previous ColdFusion versions. See, for example, Charlie Arehart's blog for more details.

How can I share my a public calendar from iCal (through iCloud) with Outlook for Windows users?

I have a public work calendar that I wish to share with colleagues in the office. No issues for those having a Mac or an iPhone, but how can I share the calendar with Outlook for Windows users?
Thanks for the help!

Hello ramirofromstrockholm,
The steps detailed below explain how to go about publicly share a calendar (which doesn't require that one be an iCloud user to accept).
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar you want to share, then select Public Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar privately. For instructions, see the previous task, “Share a calendar privately.”
To invite people to view the calendar, click Email Link.
Type one or more email addresses in the To field, then click Send.
The people you specify automatically receive an invitation email that includes the calendar’s URL. An invitee doesn’t need to be an iCloud user to accept an invitation to view a shared public calendar.
In the sidebar, a shared calendar has a dark Share button.
You can also resend invitations to one or more invited participants at any time.

Help with PDF formsmaking them work for Windows users

I'm using a new user of Acrobat 8.0.0 and having a helluva time figuring out how to make PDF forms that work for Windows users.
I can make the forms okay and Mac users can fill them out (using either Preview or Reader), and I get them emailed to me just fine. But all of the PC users that I send them to tell me that they "can't save them."
Here's a test PDF I've created (with just a few plain fields in it):
http://www.braintoniq.com/dropbox/test.pdf
Can someone who's got XP tell me what I'm doing wrong? Or what I can tell my XP users how to save it and be able to email it back with their text.
thank you!

tuqqer;
Worked on my Firefox browser PDF plug-in running XP on my MBP. Opened the completed form in Adobe Reader 9 Windows and all looked fine. Just a note on your fields; date field not properly formatted and once filled, it has the same name as the NAME field. Just make sure our fields are named separately.
Best.

Paragon NTFS for MAC vs HFS for Windows?

Hey fellas!
Which of these 2 would you say it makes more sense to have in a bootcamp environment with a drive exclusively for data storage:
NTFS for MAC or HFS for Windows?
My setup is drive 1 for both OSs, MAC and WINDOWS, and drive 2 would be then formatted in HFS or NTFS, for putting files and data which I'd use CONSTANTLY to share between the 2 OSs.
What do you think?

Actually I really wanted to use exFat, but I'm afraid of the so-called lack of overall reliability (when compared to NTFS) and worse, the usual compatibility issues I've heard about between OSX and exFat. I'll be storing important files, work related stuff.
Do you know anything about that?
Otherwise I think I'll go with NTFS...

Outgoing server works for one user not for other

Hi,
I just made a second user in Leopard. When logged in as the original user, the outgoing mail server works fine in Mail. When logged in as the new user, the outgoing mail server shows as 'offline' in Mail. In both cases the outgoing server is the same one.
As the new user i can only receive mail and not send any. I am pretty sure the account settings on both mail accounts r identical(Authentication, SSL etc.) (except for user specific identification of course)
Any advice/idea on what is wrong and what i can do to make the outgoing server work for both users?
Thx,
Brick

Yes I am certain the authentication is correct. When trying to send a message out Mail gives a message saying my "SMTP server does not support authentication".
When i open Mail preferences. The outgoing server is indicated as Offline.

Where can I get Oracle database server 9i for windows 2003

Hi,
I need Oracle Database Server 9i for Windows 2003. From Oracle online download, there is one a patch set available. Where can I get the full version?
Thanks
Laura

Hi, I found the solution. There is no software to direcly install Oracle 9i on Windows 2003. I need to install the software for NT/2000 first, the patch it.
That's why there is only patchset for 2003 for downloading. See the doc below:
three installation components required to install
Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) on Windows Server 2003. These three
installation components must be installed in the order listed. If you are
migrating a pre-existing Oracle9i database to Windows Server 2003, first
upgrade the database to the Oracle9i Database release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) patch set
before upgrading the operating system.
Obtain the following installation components:
Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.1.0) for Windows
Oracle Universal Installer release 2.2.0.18.0 for Windows
Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2.0.3.0) Patch Set for Windows
