Grant change(write) permissions to an already existing bulk shares folder

Hello,
We had a server crash (Windows 2003) and I had to bring it up on new VM. I have used net share to create my shares, however after doing so, the share permissions for "Everyone" are only set to read. What I need to do is modify the current
folders so "Everyone" has read/write access.
net share SHARENAME$=''\\servername\d$\folder_path\folder_path\FOLDERtoSHARE''
Above is the command I used. How would I grant "Everyone" read/write permissions. I guess now the question is how do I grant CHANGE (write) permissions to "Everyone" since they can all view their folders, but cannot
add to or edit them.
Currently I have to go to the properties of each folder, click Sharing, the Permissions and edit "Everyone" permissions to read/change. I have a lot of folders and this could take awhile doing it manually. I know I'm close, just cant
find the right syntax.
Please help!
Thanks

Granting read/write permissions on Oracle Server processes

Hi
I'm trying to set up a BFILE datatype in a table. I have created the directory and the current user has permissions to read and write to that folder. (The current user has the create any directory permission granted). The insert statement does not give an error but when I look at the table the BFILE column contains an error of <Value Error>.
I suspect it may be because the current user does not have server read/write permissions on the directory I'm using. Can anybody help me with a correcting this please?
Here is what I've used so far:
CREATE or replace DIRECTORY pic_dir AS 'c:\temp'
INSERT INTO picture (pic_id, filename)
VALUES (1, bfilename('pic_dir', 'image1.jpg'))

Many thanks for the reply.
I am using the procedure as below (formats better if copied into Notepad). Gives me an error of "ORA-22285: non-existent directory or file for FILEOPEN operation" referring to the line containing the DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN command.
I suspect there is something wrong with the SELECT statement because I can get the procedure to run fine on the text file if I provide the BFILE location directly into the bfile_loc variable (as opposed to using the SELECT statement to retrieve it from the db).
I created a directory: CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY pic_dir AS 'C:\temp'
I then created a table: CREATE TABLE picture (pic_id NUMBER, filename BFILE)
Next I added a row: INSERT INTO picture VALUES(1, BFILENAME('pic_dir', 'testfile.txt'))
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE read_bfile IS
sep_char CONSTANT RAW(100) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(CHR(32));      --separating character (space)
end_file CONSTANT RAW(100) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(CHR(10));      --end of file character (new line)
bfile_loc BFILE;                               --pointer to BFILE
cur_pos NUMBER := 1;                          --current position in file
char_read BINARY_INTEGER := 0;                     --number of characters read
read_buff VARCHAR2(500);                          --read buffer
end_word NUMBER;                              --end of current word
ret_val BOOLEAN := FALSE;                         --return value
BEGIN
select filename into bfile_loc from picture where pic_id = 1;
DBMS_LOB.FILEOPEN(bfile_loc, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
LOOP
-- establish end of current word
end_word := DBMS_LOB.INSTR(bfile_loc, sep_char, cur_pos, 1);
-- process end-of-file
IF (end_word = 0) THEN
end_word := DBMS_LOB.INSTR(bfile_loc, end_file, cur_pos, 1);
char_read:= end_word - cur_pos - 1;
DBMS_LOB.READ(bfile_loc, char_read, cur_pos, read_buff);
dbms_output.put_line(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(read_buff));
EXIT;
END IF;
-- read until end-of-file
char_read:= end_word - cur_pos;
DBMS_LOB.READ(bfile_loc, char_read, cur_pos, read_buff);
dbms_output.put_line(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(read_buff));
cur_pos := cur_pos + char_read+ 1;
END LOOP;
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(bfile_loc);
END;

How do you create default Read/Write Permissions for more than 1 user?

My wife and I share an iMac, but use separate User accounts for separate mail accounts, etc.
However, we have a business where we both need to have access to the same files and both have Read/Write permissions on when one of us creates a new file/folder.
By default new files and folders grant Read/Write to the creator of the new file/folder, and read-only to the Group "Staff" in our own accounts or "Wheel" in the /Users/Public/ folder, and read-only to Everyone.
We are both administrators on the machine, and I know we can manually override the settings for a particular file/folder by changing the permissions, but I would like to set things up so that the Read/Write persmissions are assigned for both of us in the folder for that holds our business files.
It is only the 2 of us on the machine, we trust each other and need to have complete access to these many files that we share. I have archiveing programs running so I can get back old versions if we need that, so I'm not worried about us overwriting the file with bad info. I'm more concerned with us having duplicates that are not up to date in our respective user accounts.
Here is what I have tried so far:
1. I tried to just set the persmissions of the containing folder with us both having read/write persmissions, and applied that to all containing elements.
RESULT -> This did nothing for newly created files or folders, they still had the default permissions of Read/Write for the creating User, Read for the default Group, Read for Everyone
2. I tried using Sandbox ( http://www.mikey-san.net/sandbox/ ) to set the inheritance of the folder using the methods laid out at http://forums.macosxhints.com/showthread.php?t=93742
RESULT -> Still this did nothing for newly created files or folders, they still had the default permissions of Read/Write for the creating User, Read for the default Group, Read for Everyone
3. I have set the umask to 002 ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2202 ) so that new files and folders have a default permission that gives the default group Read/Write permissions. This unfortunately changes the default for the entire computer, not just a give folder.
I then had to add wife's user account to the "Staff" group because for some reason her account was not included in that. I think this is due to the fact that her account was ported into the computer when we upgraded, where as mine was created new. I read something about that somewhere, but don't recall where now. I discovered what groups we were each in by using the Terminal and typing in "groups username" where username was the user I was checking on.
I added my wife to the "Staff" group, and both of us to the "Wheel" group using the procedures I found at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8765421&#8765421
RESULT -> I could create a new file using TextEdit and save it anywhere in my account and it would have the permissions: My Username - Read/Write, "Staff" or "Wheel" (depending on where I saved it) - Read/Write, Everyone - Read Only, as expected from the default umask.
I could then switch over to my wife's account, open the file, edited it, and save it, but then the permissions changed to: Her Username - Read/Write, (unknown) - Read/Write, Everyone - Read Only.
And when I switch back to my account, now I can open the file, but I can't save it with my edits.
I'm at my wits end with this, and I can believe it is impossible to create a common folder that we can both put files in to have Read/Write permissions on like a True Shared Folder. Anyone who has used windows knows what you can do with the Shared folder in that operating system, ie. Anyone with access can do anything with those files.
So if anyone can provide me some insight on how to accomplish what I really want to do here and help me get my system back to remove the things it seems like I have screwed up, I greatly appreciate it.
I tried to give as detailed a description of the problem and what I have done as possible, without being to long winded, but if you need to know anything else to help me, please ask, I certainly won't be offended!
Thanks In Advance!
Steve

Thanks again, V.K., for your assistance and especially for the very prompt responses.
I was unaware that I could create a volume on the HD non-destructively using disk utility. This may then turn out to be the better solution after all, but I will have to free up space on this HD and try that.
Also, I was obviously unaware of the special treatment of file creation by TextEdit. I have been using this to test my various settings, and so the inheritance of ACLs has probably been working properly, I just have been testing it incorrectly. URGH!
I created a file from Word in my wife's account, and it properly inherited the permissions of the company folder: barara - Custom, steve - Custom, barara - Read/Write, admin - Read Only, Everyone - Read Only
I tried doing the chmod commands on $TMPDIR for both of us from each of our accounts, but I still have the same behavior for TextEdit files though.
I changed the group on your shared folder to admin from wheel as you instructed with chgrp. I had already changed the umask to 002, and I just changed it back to 022 because it didn't seem to help. But now I know my testing was faulty. I will leave it this way though because I don't think it will be necessary to have it set to 002.
I do apparently still have a problem though, probably as a result of all the things I have tried to get this work while I was testing incorrectly with TextEdit.
I have just discovered that the "unknown user" only appears when I create the a file from my wife's account. It happens with any file or folder I create in her account, and it exists for very old files and folders that were migrated from the old computer. i.e. new and old files and foders have permissions: barara - Read/Write, unknown user - Read Only, Everyone - Read Only
Apparently the unknown user gets the default permissions of a group, as the umask is currently set to 022 and unknown user now gets Read Only permissions on new items, but when I had umask set to 002, the unknown user got Read/Write permissions on new items.
I realize this is now taking this thread in a different direction, but perhaps you know what might be the cause of this and how to correct or at least know where to point me to get the answer.
Also, do you happen to know how to remove users from groups? I added myself and my wife to the Wheel group because that kept showing up as the default group for folders in /Users/Shared
Thanks for your help on this, I just don't know how else one can learn these little "gotchas" without assistance from people like you!

Pop up saying File already exists when saving an excel file while running exe

I have an excel file which I read and write in my application.
When I run the application in development system, it works fine. However when I run the application as an exe and try to save the excel file, it says that 'The file already exists and Do you want to replace?'.
Why does this question asked for exe?
PFA my write excel VI
Thanks in advance.

Write to Excel.vi ‏25 KB

Hi Princess_swa,
The problem may be that when you build an exe, it adds another folder called 'builds' into the filepath.
A good way to fix this is to create a case structure, putting extra strip paths into your filepath if running an exe.
I have attached a screenshot of my code doing exactly this for you to look at. The code creates a 'base path' which is then used to reference all of my file paths in my code - and therefore, they will always have the right number of strip paths when it is run. (Note: in my code I have 2 extra strip paths, due to where I've placed the folder, but one should be sufficient.)
Also there is a 'Check if folder exists' VI which you can again link to a case structure, and change the filename if it already exists. Again, I have provided a screenshot of my code which does this.
Hope this helps,
Lou

My backend is only for admin, so they are the only ones who can access the
upload pages. My concern is an images folder on the site being 777. Can't
anyone from the outside plant a file in that folder if they just know where
to find it using an ftp program? ?

Database Adapter Configuration Wizard "File already exists" error

I'm uding JDeveloper 10.1.3.1 on an XP machine running Java 1.5.0_06 and having trouble editing SOAOrderBooking.bpel as part of the tutorial.
The tutorial calls for me to drag a new Database Adapter onto the diagram, select the "soademo_ssn" database and, on page 3 of the wizard select "Perform an operation on a table" and have only "Select" checked.
When I click "Perform an operation on a table", the 5 tickboxes enable and are checked but the mouse pointer remains as an hourglass. If I press "Next" without doing anything else, the Wizard title changes to "Select Table" but never draws its controls, aside from the "Back" etc buttons along the bottom and the decorative graphic to the left. If I do try unchecking boxes to have only "Select" selected, every check box state change generates the error "File already exists" and the path of the .mwp file whose name I specified earlier. The file does exist, but it didn't before I entered the wizard.
I've tried with three different filenames, and with two different database connections- both of which check out fine when I do "Test connection" in their property pages from the Connection Navigator.
If I delete the file after each check state change, I can stop the errors appearing after I untick each checkbox, but the wizard still hangs on pressing "Next" whether the file is there or not.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am facing the same issues.
I want to pick the new files and retain the files after polling.
Any idea on this would help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

When clicking "Save image as" how can I get Firefox to auto add a (1) (2) etc at the end of the filename if an image with the same filename already exists?

How can I get Firefox to automatically rename images when clicking "Save image as" on the menu, when an image with the same file name already exists in the folder??

Hello,
That is not a feature that is supported natively within Firefox but there are various add-ons which I think will do the job you need.
The one I have used is [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/web-slide-show/?src=search Web Slide Show]. This is primarily an add-on for viewing a slideshow of images when they are presented as thumbnails on a web page. However once you are in the slideshow there is a download button which will download all the images in the slideshow. It will automatically rename the images if an image with the same name already exists in the folder.
If you don't like that add-on then here are some others that may do the same job:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-download-%E2%85%B1/?src=search Image Download II]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/image-picker/ Image Picker]
I hope that helps. Let me know if not.
Also I notice that you are using Firefox v23. That is now an outdated version. To get the latest security updates I suggest updating to version 24. See the support article here: [[Update Firefox to the latest version]].

Write permissions for FCP plugins

Hi,
I have downloaded some trial film effects plugins to see if they are apropriate for a project I am working on -and to see if they are any good of course. They are from a company called nattress. Anyway, I am not sure how to get the write permissions to install them in my plugins folder. I have the read permsissions, but not permission to write. Can anyone tell me how to do this or even reccommend some other good film look filter package plugins? This is rather urgent so any helpful response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
4 x 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6) 8 GB DDR2 SDRam

Copy the plugins (folder with plugins) to your FCP plugins directory:
<pre>/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Pro System Support/Plugins/</pre>
Just drag and drop the files/folder inside that Plugins-folder. You will then get a dialog about Authentication. Click the Authenticate button, type your password and click OK.
If you still can't get this working, you can put the files/folder inside your home directory, inside the following folder:
<pre>Library/Preferences/Final Cut Pro User Data/Plugins/</pre>
Good luck!

Problems with permissions of files written over a share

Hello,
I have 2 sharepoints, with his permissions working ok...
If I create a file in a client computer 10.4.8 and copy this file to the share, the file assumes the permissions of the share, (Owner=RW, Group=RW) but if I create a file from an application, example, TextEdit or FreeHand, and save it directly over the share, the file doesn´t assumes the permissions of the share, it remains read only for a group, although it must to assume those of the share, read/write for a group. I dont know what happend, and how to fix it.
help will be appreciated
thanks

I too am experiencing this problem. We have a small 7 user workgroup of mostly PCs but some Macs and a single linux box on a Tiger server running 10.4.7 (maybe I should upgrade it to 10.4.8 which is supposed to fix some permissions problems).
The problem started on Wednesday when one of our people changed some permissions for a folder and all its contents using the Get Info dialogue. Ever since then we have had permissions problems.
I wrote a file on my PowerBook, emailed it to a colleague, she saved it, now I cannot edit it. Not only that, I cannot login to the server either, despite having Admin privileges. I could login as super user, but haven't done that yet.
The reason he had to change the permissions was because he recently set a folder up as a sharepoint with limited access when it had previously run happily as part of another folder with wider access. He's not a Mac user but prefers Linux so it's possible he made a wrong move. Since Tiger is so hard to administer anyway, I can't immediately see what is wrong.
The permissions in Workgroup Manager appear to be using POSIX settings without inheritance. I guess I'll have to change all the shares to Inherit Permissions. Maybe I'll try the ACL route as suggested here too.
Any other ideas?
TIA

Central Administration not Available, STSADM password reset errors "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists

Hi Everyone,
I think I've shot myself in the foot by not properly following set up instructions.
I have a two-fold problem. Firstly, my Sharepoint Central Administration V4 site is showing
Service Not Available. This seems to be related to the credentials the
Central Administration V4 Application Pool - hitting Test Settings within
IIS Manager for the site shows an Authentication and Authorization error for the credentials due to a bad password.
My reading indicates that I should run something to the effect of:
%STSADM -o updatefarmcredentials -userlogin DOMAIN\username -password <new password as set via AD>
This runs into the following Error message
Error deploying administration application pool credentials. Another deployment may be active. An object of the type Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdminAppPoolCredentialDeploymentJobDefinition named "job-admin-apppool-change" already exists
under the parent Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPTimerService named "SPTimerV4". Rename your object or delete the existing object.
I've tried searching out a solution but as yet have been unable to find a mechanism to resolve this error. I have had a look through http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/sharepointadmin/thread/b7c17dac-1cd1-4f75-a031-e28e4fbfd2f7 but
it doesn't seem to relate to the same problems - as far as I know the account from which the command is being run is a farm administrator and the problem seems to be the existing job rather than permissions errors.
Your help will be much appreciated.

Hi Stuart Weaver,
Firstly, please check if the SharePoint 2010 timer service is running. If not, please start it manually, then check the effect. In addition to this, you can try to
run SharePoint configuration wizard, then check the effect.
Note: when you start the SharePoint 2010 timer service, make sure you input the latest password. The steps are as follows:
Open services.msc, locate the SharePoint 2010 timer service, double click it, then click log on tab, input the updated password, then click apply.
Hope this helps.

MCRM_SETTINGS report cant change the already existing consumer

Hi Middleware gurus,
I have a problem in setting up of CRM middleware setup with ECC . The scenario is ECC is connected to CRM already and data is transferred, so as a result of that for all the objects in CRM the default consumer is CRM. And now due to some requirements , i want to connect this same CRM system to another ECC and so the requirement is to change this already existing default consumer to a new consumer as per the new ECC system.
SO, I ran the report MCRM_SETTINGS to change the consumer but the result says- the object is already a consumer.
So, now the question is - cant i over write the already existing consume to a new consumer...
Regards,
Neni.

Hello Neni,
In case you want to connect 1 CRM to 2 ECC systems, you'd be following a MEP(Multiple Exchange Projects) scenario and not a MCRM setting so MCRM_SETTINGS won't be useful here.
Or do you want to disconnect the first ECC and connect a new ECC to the same CRM?
can you please clarify?
BR,
Rohit

System Folder errors after I changed all permissions on HD to read & write

Hi,
Two things may have caused probs on my new 2010 iMac (Snow Leopard), and Applecare is shut so I would really appreciate some help as I have urgent work.
1) INCORRECT PERMISSIONS
I have been stupid. I clicked on Macintosh HD and changed all permissions to read & write because I wanted to be sure I could open and edit all documents on other computers.
I ran Disk Utility Repair Permissions from the install disc, but I am still getting system error messages, and my HP printer won't work.
The first message, in Repair Permissions, said: Warning: SUID file System/Library/Cores has been modified and will not be repaired. I have read a support doc on this which says no need to worry but I don't like it and would like to fix this.
More importantly, my HP printer won't work, displays error beside the document in print dialogue box.
Deleting the printer and readding it didn't work, so I downloaded new drivers and tried to install them, which is when I got the second system error message: System extension System/Library/Extensions/BJUSBLoad.kext was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for an update.
I checked the permissions on the file and they were still wrong despite Repair Permissions, allowing everyone to read & write. So I have now clicked on the entire System folder and changed the permissions to: System read & write, admin read only, everyone read only.
Will this fix it or do I need to do something else, such as check ownership, to make sure all permissions on the computer are now correct?
2) MEMORY STICK SHUT DOWN MY IMAC
Additionally (though I don't think this had anything to do with my problems), I inserted a Sandisk USB memory stick the other day and it immediately shut down the computer. When I inserted it into my Macbook it initially rejected it and gave me a message saying the device wanted too much power so it had ejected it to prevent damage to my computer. When I tried again it was OK. I totally reformatted the stick in case there was something harmful on it, but should I now bin the stick as faulty? Scared to use it again.
3) IS IT BEST TO REINSTALL ENTIRE SOFTWARE?
If I do a reinstall of all the software from the install disc, will it wipe out all my data, such as Mail, documents, bookmarks and other apps?
I would back-up, but if I try and back up files on my external drive it will automatically do a Time Machine back-up and I don't want to do that in case it backs-up all the corrupted files. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind starting again just to be sure all is well.
Expert advice would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Sarah

Oh, silly really. I was in a hurry and working on docs that I needed to take to the office and open on another computer there.
But when I checked the permissions on the doc it said I could read & write but everyone else was read only.
I thought if I opened it on another machine I'd be stuck with read only access and not be able to work on there. I think I couldn't change it, so I thought to avoid any future problems like that I would change everything on machine!
Yikes. Won't do that again

How do I change the apple ID associated with my dev account to a different, already existing apple ID/account

Hi,
I currently have an iPhone Dev account, which is associated with a certain apple account. I also have a different apple account, that I have already created. I wish to change the dev account to use this other account. I know you can change your apple ID, but I dont know how to change to an already existing account. When I tried to just change the appleID and email to match that of my other account, I just get an error saying that the email is already in use.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
