Fix downloaded files permissions on Windows 7

Almost every time I download a file from various sources, Firefox adds a padlock to the downloaded file icon. This means that the file can only be accessed by the current user unless I change back the file permissions manually.
Is there any way of stop the downloads from changing their file permissions? I've only noticed this happening for a week or so, currently I'm on Firefox beta 26.0

You can try to set the browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone pref to false on the <b>about:config</b> page to prevent Firefox from adding zone identifier data to the downloaded files.

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.

Problem Assigning file permissions on windows client

I have created some Users and Groups in the OD. I have several Windows PC's including Server 2003 installations. SMB is running and configured as "primary domain controller".
When I browse the OD from the Windows client to assign file permissions I ONLY see the USERS, not the Groups. I have Groups and Users checked in the "Locations" sub dialog.
ie. Right Click on folder to share, choose Sharing and Security, choose Permissions, choose Add, choose Advanced, choose Find. Same thing in the Security Tab. Same thing in the User manager.
This also affects the logons. I don't want to have to add each user every time I want to share or give logon permissions on the Windows client. Adding a Group is much easier.
Any suggestions?

N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.

File Permissions in windows XP

ok im alittle stumped on this
i need to give my application read\write access to %USERPROFILE%\\savedir
now if i put it fully qualified
i.e.
permission java.io.FilePermission "C:\\Documents andSettings\\zaelld\\.saveDir", "read, write";
it works fine
by
permission java.io.FilePermission "%USERPROFILE%\\.saveDir", "read, write";
that should work as ide assume $HOME/.saveDir in linux would work fine(i havent tested that yet)
and i ONLY want the program to have access to .saveDir
any ideas? or have a missed something obvious:?

well then i should have read the file permissions tutorial more carefully
permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.home}\\.saveDir", "read, write";
fixed

Open download file in new window.

Hi,
I m using oracle 11g and Apex4.0.2 version
Browser IE8.
I m downloading PDF file when a button is pressed.
The code will be
htp.init;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(NVL(L_V_MIME,'application/octet'),FALSE);
owa_util.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE(BLOB_content);
It works fine by opening the pdf file.
But I need the pdf file to be opened in new tab page or in new window.
Is it possible?

vk,
it seems your page process is not triggering or it was not working quite right in the first place.
It should be something lke this:
Name: DOWNLOAD_FILE
Type: PL/SQL anonymous block
Process Point: On Submit - After validations
When Button Pressed: DOWNLOAD
Source
/* if the BLOB content is stored in wwv_flow_files: */
DECLARE
l_blob_content wwv_flow_files.blob_content%TYPE;
l_mime_type wwv_flow_files.mime_type%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT blob_content, mime_type
INTO l_blob_content, l_mime_type
FROM wwv_flow_files
WHERE ... /* how you access your file */
htp.init;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(NVL(l_mime_type,'application/octet'),FALSE);
owa_util.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE(l_blob_content);
--apex_application.stop_apex_engine; /* APEX 4.1 and above */
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error:= true; /*before APEX 4.1 */

Java.IO File permissions on windows

Hey Guys,
I have a single box running Windows and Oracle 10gR2. I need to read a file from the file system on the same box. Except I'm getting the following error
general excecption:the Permission (java.io.FilePermission D:\XX_FOLDER\file.pdf read) has not been granted to ATSYS. The PL/SQL
to grant this is dbms_java.grant_permission( 'ATSYS', 'SYS:java.io.FilePermission', 'D:\XX_FOLDER\file.pdf', 'read' ) After trying what is suggested, I still get the same error, Does anyone have ideas why?
Thanks in advance
Kris

Kris,
please be sure to verify all your steps by reading the chapter Security for Oracle Database Java Applications in the Java Developer's Guide of the DB documentation (http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/java.102/b14187/chnine.htm#BABFBDGG)
It also worth to note that all user names must be written in UPPER CASE since there is a difference between lower and UPPER case in Java.

Download file via Browser window

Hello,
I have a question about downloading a file. How can i Download the file via the browser ? I did get it working to download with flex but also get
"Error: Error #2176" this error with flash 10 which is not good :-/
Is there a way to download a file via the browser . i.e : with firefox download window , etc.
I have seen weborb doing it while i was downloading the weborb application, and i wanted to know if anyone has any idea or sample on how to get this done.
Help is appreciated .
Thanks.

You could write a Javascript function in the HTML page that accepts a URL string as its parameter. This function get then open a new window with this url. You could invoke this function it via the ExternalInterface API in Flex. I believe that would invoke the Firefox Download Manager.

Installed Photoshop cc 2014 asks for serial # - corrupted Windows file permissions

More of a warning / heads up to all than a question - installing Photoshop cc 2014 [via the CC manager app] caused some Windows file (security) permissions to become corrupt corrupt on my system. Symptoms include cc2014 asking for serial number validation on startup (when, as a cloud version, it should not do so), then being unable to connect to the internet when you press the 'validate serial' button so getting that window into infinite loops, and - a real pain in the *** when trying to fix the above - causing abends of some windows shell functions that in turn cause windows explorer to crash and restart.
Anyhow, digging into this (fortunately, I am a long time Windows SysProg) I discovered that for reasons unknown, either the CC master app or the actual Photoshop cc2014 installer (or both) are changing file access control permissions on a number of files, mostly DLL's. Most of the files affected are in the (normally hidden) Program Data directory on the windows root disk, Some of them are in the Adobe subdirectory - so fair enough if they want to fool around with their own program - but others being changed are in the Common Files and Microsoft subdirectories. I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is necessary nor why Adobe feel the need to touch files that 'do not belong' to them - something dangerous in the extreme as an external app such as Windows Update might replace or 'repair' the files so touched, and if Adobe / CC are relying on file permissions on non-Adobe files, such changes could result in all manner of random and spurious problems / error messages occurring.
Anyhow, if, fellow Photoshop cc 2014 user, you get this happen to you then you can fix the file permissions by opening a console window [also called a "DOS box", or "command prompt" depending on your age and knowledge... 8-) ] and run the windows file checker with the command
"sfc /scannow". Make sure that you use 'run as administrator' to open the console window, or you'll get an error about sfc only being available to administrators. Also a very (very) sensible idea to close all non-essential running applications first to prevent any possibility of weird interactions happening.
Finally, check that the 'hosts' file in [root drive]:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc is valid - for some reason, it looks like the install tried to check or update this file (again, I have no idea why) but the result was a corrupted hosts file, which I assume is the root cause of the 'unable to connect to host' type internet error messages. Copy the file, rename it as 'hosts.txt' and edit it with notepad or wordpad. Look for lines containing garbage strings at the bottom of the file (any line that starts with a # ignore, it is a comment, and any line that has IP addresses or host names should be ignored - though if they reference a site such as "someserver.adobe.com" you might want to treat them with suspicion if you continue to get internet 'cant connect to site' type errors.
Anyhow, when I fixed these two sets of problems, Photoshop cc 2014 started 'right first time' without all the BS messages about serial numbers etc.
Hope this helps somebody out there in AdobeLand......

Update: I tried several times to reproduce the error, actually it dosen't occur. I changed nothing on my system, without reboot it twice. This is what I said in my beginning times: it occurs sometimes but often. I will keep you up to date.

Let ff auto delete file from c:windows\temp after download?

Say you download a rar file. firefox builds the file first in C:\windows\temp as it download to completion. Then FF COPIES this file to the destination folder which could be on another drive. BUT FF never deletes this temp-file in c:windows\temp after copying. And you can NOT delete this file temp-file until you close FF. Deleting browser history temp files using ctrl-shift-del does not work.
Why is this?
Say I download many rar files at once. After each file completes firefox cCOPIES them to the destintaion directory. Again they go to another drive. BUT FF never deletes the temp-files form c:\windows\temp after completion of download and copying to the destintaion folder. UNLESS you close firefox.
Meanwhile this can clog up my small SSD drive which is only 20GiB
Need workaround please?

OK you developers are such autistic a**holes. I just tried to manually delete the temp files FF makes when downloading files from c:\windows\temp. This did not free up space there's still the same amount of space left (163MB) on my SSD as before deleting the tempfiles form this dir. WTF is this?

Issues in Download File from Server to PC

Hi Experts,
i am havin requirement to download a File and show it to user in open/Sava dialog box.
i have tried both way to achieve this.
1) cl_wd_runtime_services 2 File Download Elements
here is coding for cl_wd_runtime_services
CONCATENATE 'C:\temp\'
                     stru_ctx_resume-cv_language
                     stru_ctx_resume-cv_type
                     stru_ctx_resume-oprn_role
                     lv_version
                      '.pdf' INTO lv_filename.
        lv_filetype = 'application/pdf'.
        lr_conv_out = cl_abap_conv_out_ce=>create( encoding = 'UTF-8' ).
Showing Downloaded File to new Window.
        cl_wd_runtime_services=>attach_file_to_response(
          i_filename = lv_filename
          i_content   = lv_filecontent " Its file Byte Array
          i_mime_type = lv_filetype
          i_in_new_window = abap_false
          i_inplace       = abap_false ).
Problem Statement: Filedownload is working perfect, the only prolem is that IE give warning message before download, i want to get rid of this warning message so i opted for File Download UI Element.
2) File Dowload Element:
i have a file download element in a table collumn, this table is mapped to a node Called CTX_Resume, file download element's data property is mapped to attribute called file_content of type xSTring, this attribute is in node called data which is child node of CTX_Resume.(1:N, Lead Selection True, Singleton True)
so in summary
CTX_Resume(Node): Mapped to table
    File_DATA(Sub Node of CTX_Resume): It has Supply methodName: Sup_File_Data
          File_Content(Type Xstring) Mapped to Data property of Filedownload
Codding at Supply Method is
METHOD sup_file_data .
data declaration
DATA:
    stru_file_data            TYPE wd_this->element_file_data,
    stru_resume           TYPE wd_this->element_ctx_resume,
        lv_filecontent TYPE zall_empprof_file_content,      "#EC NEEDED
        lv_error_text TYPE zall_empprof_error_text,         "#EC NEEDED
if wd_this->mv_first_time = abap_false.
CALL METHOD parent_element->get_static_attributes
    IMPORTING
      static_attributes = stru_resume.
if not stru_resume is INITIAL.
    MOVE stru_resume-cv_version TO lv_version.
CALL METHOD wd_assist->download_cv
    EXPORTING
      im_doc_id       = stru_resume-doc_id
      im_doc_type     = 'pdf'
      im_doc_version = stru_resume-cv_version
    IMPORTING
      ex_file_content = lv_filecontent " File Byte Array
      ex_error_text   = lv_error_text.
IF lv_error_text IS INITIAL.
    move lv_filecontent to stru_file_data-file_content.
ENDIF.
else.
wd_this->mv_first_time = abap_false.
endif.
node->bind_structure(
    new_item = stru_file_data
    set_initial_elements = abap_true ).
ENDMETHOD.
Problem Statement: this works perfect only at first time as i cant controll the triggering of Supply method, to get rid of this i want whenever user clicks on File Download Link, it must trigger supply method.
My table doesnt have selections properites = none.
hope i have given sufficiant information about the problem,
please help me....

Manish.

It depends on your browser mime type setting.
If you donload a doc file for example and the client's browser is set as to open doc files automatically with word application you will not get the save file dialog box.
Its all dependent on the client machine setting and not on forms.

Ask for username and password for XDB when download files

Hi,
I have an application to upload/download files. While the user click on the file link for downloading files, a small window pops-up saying that "The server 127.0.0.1 at XDB requires a username and password.".
Can anyone shred some light ?
Thanks.
Edward

Edward:
Does this link work ? if it does then I think you may need to set up appropriate ACLs in XDB for the other IP address.

Windows says the itunes download file is corrupt and will not install

Im trying to install itunes on my new windows 8 pc. It seems to recognize my software and takes me to a download the 64 bit file (iTunes64Setup.exe). Once the download completes, the file appears in my windows download manager with the message "The signature of this program is corrupt or invalid". If I right click and chose install anyway, I get a message saying that Windows prevented this from running.
I then found the 32bit download file (iTunesSetup.exe). I get the same results as above. Any ideas how to fix this?

I get that all the time with all sorts of programmes. I normally shut down my pc, unplug it, wait for the light to go out on the back, plug back in reboot and it works (with most of my downloads) try this, it might fix it, it might not. I tried this the other day after it kept telling me it was corrupt, then it came down and installed fine. I do this now with every update of every program, if I forget they will all say they have an 'invalid signature' or 'corrupt from source file' etc. Hope this helps you. Also I have to do this before I download music as well, because otherwise it seems to come down with the stupid DRM still on the file, meaning I can't put it on my ipod, convert it or even play it on my system.
