FTP permissions error

Ok, this is sort of a FTP problem, but it involves permissions etc so I'm asking here. I think that's right.
I run Joomla on my site, I was using Mambo but since the Akocomment component doesn't work under Joomla 1.0.3 I've decided to switch to MosCom which is probably better anyway. I have it all working great locally on a test setup so I installed it on the live site via the Joomla CP and then logged in via FTP to delete the files I'd hacked around with locally and replace them with my own.
I can't delete them, whenever I try I get a permission denied error (this is in gFTP). Great, so I tried changing the permissions on the files to 777 (went out on a limb here) and got this:
SITE CHMOD 777 comments.html.php
550 Could not change perms on comments.html.php: Bad file descriptor
Now I'm at the "oh shit" stage, so I logged into cPanel to see if I could kill the files from the file manager in there, long shot which didn't pay off. No errors but nothing happened. Any ideas on how I can get rid of these? I don't have shell access to the host, all the other files I can access nicely are owned by 32274:cam, these files are 99:99.
Any ideas? Email support and get them to remove the files as root? This sucks.
Thanks

Okay fixed it. Created a PHP script that ran rm -r on the directory and that worked. Guess httpd is running as a weird user on the host or something :?:

Error -61 with FTP Write permissions error; Not a publisher

Hi,
I am trying to use Safari to FTP with my schools server (FreeBSD) but when I try to delete something I get error -61 which is FTP Write permissions error; Not a publisher. When I select "Get Info" I see the permissions say "You can only read". How can I fix this?

Hi Rob
so far as I know, Safari and/or Finder can only read from ftp sites - hence the response you are seeing.
I've used http://cyberduck.ch/ for a few years - there are many other free/sharewware ftp clients

CS6 FTP uploading does not work. Gives permissions error.

I cannot upload files using the CS6 FTP facility. It works the first time but then gives a file permissions error. I assume it thinks the files on the server are set to read only. I am not using the check in facility as it is only me using it. It works on the same pc with MX or FileZilla so must be a CS6 setup issue. Any ideas ?

Hmm, I've never run into that with DW's FTP (unless my permissions were messed up at the server level).
Have you tried clearing DW's Cache file?

That clears a lot of odd behaviors in DW. I'm not sure if it catches weird FTP problems though.

Sending Email When FTP Adapter Errors Out

Hello everyone,
I am developing a very simple interface to grab a file from a directory and ftp it to a partner's server. Now I want to be able to check if an error occurs when I send the file so I can send a notification e-mail to the administrator and move the file to an Error-Archive directory.
Some of the errors that could happen are:
1. Partner server is down
2. FTP Username or password is wrong
3. FTP account does not have permissions to write to the Partner server
4. ...etc
I have defined an Integration process and for the block where I ftp my file, I defined an exception which I catch in an exception branch. In the Exception branch, I have then defined steps to send notification emails and move the file to an error-archive directory. But unfortunately all the steps of the Integration Process seems to pass, although the FTP Adapter throughs an error.
I'm not sure how can I get the FTP adapter errors to be passed back to my integration process. I already searched in the service market place for OSS notes and also searched the SDN but I can't find any helpful information.
There is one OSS note, 821267, that mentions the use of System Acknowledgements. I'm not sure if this will help me and I don't know how to set it up.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to handle this particular scenario? Did anyone implement System Acknowledgements with the File/FTP adapter?
Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
To do the alert configuration as suggested, please go through the information below.
From SP 14 on PMI-free alerting was introduced. That means before SP 14 one has to configure and activate the End-to-End Monitoring, and to schedule the report SXMSALERT_PROCESS_DATA_GET in order to extract the alerts from the PMI data. For SP 14 and higher, that's not longer necessary.
If no alerts are being delivered, please check if "Suppress multiple alerts of this rule" is checked for your rule.
For SP 14 and higher you could also have a look at the report sxmsalert_logreader. This report shows some information about alerts being created or not.
You'll find more information about trouble shooting the alerting in SAP Note 913858.
Also just check if this batch program (RSALERTPROC) is running or not.
The links below on Alert Management (ALM) will be of good help to you:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/567ddea69d3d4c93a6aedabd08899e/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3f/81023cfa699508e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
Meanwhile look at these forum threads also:
Alerts not getting triggered from Adapter Framework
Alert Configs...
Also, In ALRTCATDEF, go to SETTINGS--> CONFIGURATION. By default, the option selected is INTERNAL PROCESSING. Select the option SMTP FORWARDING AS XML and give the email id. This will enable you to send an email alert whenever an error occurs in XI.
I hope I have answered your queries. If u want help with anything else please do reply back.

I used Terminal to change the permissions on the folder in question. I followed the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Missing folder or incorrect permissions may prevent authorization
In my case, the folder was there, so I needed the command to change permissions on the folder, not to create one. I was hesitant to use Terminal b/c I know that if I made an error I could wipe out my hard drive or render my computer unusable. So to be SURE I didn't make an error, I carefully copied the command from that page and *pasted* it into Terminal. Also, before I could do anything in Terminal, I had to go change my admin password (it had been a blank password before and that's not acceptable for making changes in Terminal). I was just super careful when entering my password or doing anything else while Terminal was open (making sure I didn't accidently hit the spacebar or another key, etc.) And it fixed the problem right away.
What was confusing for me was that the iTunes error message said to change permissions in the FINDER, which is what I was trying to do. It didn't mention Terminal. What would really be helpful is if Apple included a link to a page like this in their error message.

Updating to iTunes 11.1 gave me a lot of disk permissions errors

I ran a Verify Disk Permissions before the installation of iTunes 11.1 and everything was clean, then I did one after installing iTunes 11.1 and I got a ton of errors. See below:
After running repair permissions several times, running from the boot drive or from an external booted, after uninstalling and doing a fresh install, nothing changed.
I also tried to repair the ACLs by booting from the Recovery partition and using resetpassword command.
I know it's not very important but I like to keep my system in perfect shape.
Come on Apple, after one single update, this is NOT SERIOUS!

Same here. But without knowing for sure why Apple did let this messages appear, in short, you should consider them as not important...at least for now...and here is why for the ones interested in some details about the error:
Permissions differ on “Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/Dutch.lproj/AACEncoderConfig.nib”; should be drwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .
What this means in Unix language is that permissions check is expecting that "AACEncoderConfig.nib" to be a directory and it's not. You can tell because of "drwxr-xr-x" the d letter at the beginning of the string means "directory" and when compared with the actual value "-rwxr-xr-x", the absence of d means that it refers to a file.
Now you might ask why is the system expecting a directory?
Here is a link that describes why: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1452?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
OK...but what is this kind of files .nib?
This files are normally GUI files...and in the past...not so far away...it was based on a directory structure...but iTunes 11.1 is the first released Apple app that is using their new nib file spec. And this is somehow apparent...I mean the error messages we are all seeing when we run the permissions check suggest it.
Then I need to add, as a guess, it looks like this is due to the coming OSX upgrade...I saw another software giving the same permissions errors and even if I cannot say which app, it's one that is heavily tested right now and it will appear on OSX Lion/Mountain Lion and the new Mavericks.
Hope this helps!

First I would just try deleting the SCInfo folder, restart your computer, open itunes and see if you are still getting the error, at that point if you are it is a permissions error with the computer specificaly and not in itunes.

that is for deleting the scinfo folder. scroll to the bottom of the article and the steps are there

Read Only Permissions Error

Hi Guys
I have a major problem with file saving permissions
Current setup:
- 5 imac (10.6)
- 1 mac book pro (10.6)
- mac xserver
- Direct attached Raid Array
Issue:
When user "A" creates new files and folders to the shared drive on the raid array it automatically defaults to read only for all other users, and any time they try to add/delete/create files or folders in the fold user "A" created they get a permissions error. Therefor everybody else cannot edit the files
E.g. user A and user B quite often work on documents together and when user A stores it in the folder user A created then user B can only read it
has anybody come across this error before?
also i have tried changing permissions in get info as it defaults to read only soon as i change it to read and write and close the get info box it reverts back to read only ( the permissions group in called everybody)
Any help would be much appreciated

You can try propagating the permissions on the root of the share, new files should inherit permissions from the parent folder, if that doesn't help, maybe try something with the umask
