How do I get directory permissions to replicate downward?

I am trying to modify some directory permissions, but have noticed that the parent directories permissions do not by default replicate downward. How can I change this so that once the parent folder has been modified, it is reflected into the children directories

Do a Get Info (command - I) on the parent, unlock if required. set the permissions you want, then go to the gear and select to Apply to Enclosed items.
I type too slow.

How do I get "Sufficient Permissions" to manage my own images?

I cannot manage some of my images in Bridge CC. When I attempt to delete, move or rename them I get the message: "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient permissions." It's my computer. I'm the only user. How do I get "sufficient permissions?" Some of these images were transferred from my old Windows XP computer to my new Windows 7 computer. Could that have something to do with it?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Disk Utility does not repair permissions in the User directories. You can perform the following on your iPhoto Library folder:
Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

Thanks So much for your response, ok then I guess what I ment to ask is , How do I get Root permissions and access to all my cumputer files. When using the Terminal it only allow me to go back so far to view my user folder but not the root folders?
If you have admin access in your account, then in Terminal, you can go to the file root with
cd / <enter>
and then go from there. (The single forward slash is the shorthand for the filesystem mount point.) You should be able to a number of things otherwise blocked by using the sudo command before the normal Unix command, as in, for instance,
sudo touch /System/Library/Extensions <enter>
which is a command which changes the modification date to the current time on the Extensions folder. When using sudo, you will be asked for your password, and after successful authentication, the command will execute.

Get directory permissions in unix like form

Hi! I've searched a lot for a solution to this but can find something. I want to see all the permissions that the user who is running an application has on certain directory. Some time ago I saw a simple application that gives that in a unix like form:
-dr-w-x owner file .....
I want something like that. I know that I can use canRead or canWrite, but there are a lot more permissiones involved, as for example the execute permissions, and... you may find a file (exists) , but that doesn't mean you can access it.
Hope someone out there knows how to do what I want, this is for solaris and/or windows XP (I know some windowses doesn't support the "owner" scheme)
Thanks a lot!

Windows doesn't (to my knowledge) have that level of granularity of permissions on a file level.

How can I get Directory and Files from a Maped Networkdrive of the AppS

Hello,
we have the following Situation.
We have a Windows-Server (Server-A) in an Network with ActivDirectory and an Windows-Server (Server-B with an WebApplicationServer outside of these ActivDirectory as standalone.
On Server-B we mapped a Directory from Server-A (FileExplorer and then MapNetworkDrives) as Drive Q.
Now i tried to get the Directory of Q:\abcd but it doesn't work.
I tried the FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING and also RZL_READ_DIR, but both doesn't worked.
RZL_READ_DIR is doing a "CALL 'ALERTS' ..." and is comming back with sy-subrc = 1
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING is doing a "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_FINISH'..." and comes back with "Wrong order of calls" in the Field file-errmsg. Next Call is "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START'..." and this comes back with "opendir" in Field file-errmsg.
I tried the same with two Servers in the same ActivDirectory-Network. The Result was the same, i don't get the directory of the mapped drive. But now i get from the Call "CALL 'C_DIR_READ_START'..." the file-errmsg "opendir: Not a directory" and file-errno 20.
Is there any idea for solving my Problem?
I have to get this directory, read the files from the List and have to rename them after wriing the data to our databasefile.
I want to read them with OPEN DATASET, rename them by writing a new File (also OPEN DATASET) and after that i do an DELETE DATASET.
Thanks and Greetings Matthias

How do I get sufficient permissions to upgrade to iPhoto 6

I have just installed iLife 6 as an upgrade from version 5.
On launching iPhoto I get the following Message:
'The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.'
On clicking "upgrade" I get a further message:
'There is problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library folder.
Then choode File>Get Info.
Make sure you have read and write permissions for the folder then apply this setting to all enclosed items.'
Having completed this I get another message:
'The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items'
I have tried this several times with the same results and restarted to see if that would make any difference.
So now I have no access to my library!
Just to be safe I have copied all of the contents of the iPhoto folder off onto and external drive.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

How do I get iWeb to publish just the files to my root directory

Hey all, when I publish my site to my hosting server via iWeb it's just copying the entire folder into my root directory instead of copying the files to the root directory. This is causing my site url to look like this: www.mysite.com/myfolder/ how do I get iWeb to publich the files in the "myfolder" to my server instead of the entire folder?

I needed to do this while keeping ftp publishing inside iWeb, and so I developed a sneaky solution. I just figured this out, so there may be some extra steps in here. Here goes:
Find the iWeb application on the computer you are publishing from.
Control-Click on the application and choose "Show Package Contents".
In the window that appears, open the folder "Contents".
Control-Click on the folder "Resources" and choose "Get Info".
In the window that appears, open the "Sharing and Permissions" drop-down.
Click the lock in the lower-right corner and enter your password.
Where it says "Read Only" across from "Everyone", click the arrows and choose "Read and Write".
Close the "Info" window and open the "Resources" folder.
Find the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file and change the permissions (repeat steps 4-7 but with "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" instead of the "Resources" folder).
Open the "defaultPublishConfiguration.plist" file in TextEdit.
Find the line "<string>/Web/Sites</string>".
Change it to "<string>/Web</string>".
Save and close the text file.
Restart iWeb.
Go to your publishing settings and enter the information for your server. Point the "Directory/Path" to the folder above your server's root web folder.
Set "Site Name" to the name of your server's web folder.
Make sure that none of the files in your server's web folder have the same name as those iWeb would upload.
Select File>Publish Entire Site.
It should now publish your site to "http://www.yourdomain.org/Home.html".
Hope it works!

How can i get also the files in the root directory and how can i for testing add items of IEnumerable FTPListDetail to List string ?

What i get is only the directories and files that in other nodes. But i have also files on the root directory and i never
get them. This is a screenshot of my program after i got the content of my ftp. I'm using treeView to display my ftp content:
You can see two directories from the root but no files on the root it self. And in my ftp server host i have files in the root direcory.
This is the method i'm using to get the directory listing:
public IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> GetDirectoryListing(string rootUri)
var CurrentRemoteDirectory = rootUri;
var result = new StringBuilder();
var request = GetWebRequest(WebRequestMethods.Ftp.ListDirectoryDetails, CurrentRemoteDirectory);
using (var response = request.GetResponse())
using (var reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()))
string line = reader.ReadLine();
while (line != null)
result.Append(line);
result.Append("\n");
line = reader.ReadLine();
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.ToString()))
return new List<FTPListDetail>();
result.Remove(result.ToString().LastIndexOf("\n"), 1);
var results = result.ToString().Split('\n');
string regex =
@"^" + //# Start of line
@"(?<dir>[\-ld])" + //# File size
@"(?<permission>[\-rwx]{9})" + //# Whitespace \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<filecode>\d+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<owner>\w+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<group>\w+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<size>\d+)" +
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<month>\w{3})" + //# Month (3 letters) \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<day>\d{1,2})" + //# Day (1 or 2 digits) \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<timeyear>[\d:]{4,5})" + //# Time or year \n
@"\s+" + //# Whitespace \n
@"(?<filename>(.*))" + //# Filename \n
@"$"; //# End of line
var myresult = new List<FTPListDetail>();
foreach (var parsed in results)
var split = new Regex(regex)
.Match(parsed);
var dir = split.Groups["dir"].ToString();
var permission = split.Groups["permission"].ToString();
var filecode = split.Groups["filecode"].ToString();
var owner = split.Groups["owner"].ToString();
var group = split.Groups["group"].ToString();
var filename = split.Groups["filename"].ToString();
var size = split.Groups["size"].Length;
myresult.Add(new FTPListDetail()
Dir = dir,
Filecode = filecode,
Group = group,
FullPath = CurrentRemoteDirectory + "/" + filename,
Name = filename,
Owner = owner,
Permission = permission,
return myresult;
And then this method to loop over and listing :
private int total_dirs;
private int searched_until_now_dirs;
private int max_percentage;
private TreeNode directories_real_time;
private string SummaryText;
private TreeNode CreateDirectoryNode(string path, string name , int recursive_levl )
var directoryNode = new TreeNode(name);
var directoryListing = GetDirectoryListing(path);
var directories = directoryListing.Where(d => d.IsDirectory);
var files = directoryListing.Where(d => !d.IsDirectory);
total_dirs += directories.Count<FTPListDetail>();
searched_until_now_dirs++;
int percentage = 0;
foreach (var dir in directories)
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(CreateDirectoryNode(dir.FullPath, dir.Name, recursive_levl+1));
if (recursive_levl == 1)
TreeNode temp_tn = (TreeNode)directoryNode.Clone();
this.BeginInvoke(new MethodInvoker( delegate
UpdateList(temp_tn);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
percentage = (searched_until_now_dirs * 100) / total_dirs;
if (percentage > max_percentage)
SummaryText = String.Format("Searched dirs {0} / Total dirs {1}", searched_until_now_dirs, total_dirs);
max_percentage = percentage;
backgroundWorker1.ReportProgress(percentage, SummaryText);
foreach (var file in files)
TreeNode file_tree_node = new TreeNode(file.Name);
file_tree_node.Tag = "file" ;
directoryNode.Nodes.Add(file_tree_node);
numberOfFiles.Add(file.FullPath);
return directoryNode;
Then updating the treeView:
DateTime last_update;
private void UpdateList(TreeNode tn_rt)
TimeSpan ts = DateTime.Now - last_update;
if (ts.TotalMilliseconds > 200)
last_update = DateTime.Now;
treeViewMS1.BeginUpdate();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Clear();
treeViewMS1.Nodes.Add(tn_rt);
ExpandToLevel(treeViewMS1.Nodes, 1);
treeViewMS1.EndUpdate();
And inside a backgroundworker do work how i'm using it:
var root = Convert.ToString(e.Argument);
var dirNode = CreateDirectoryNode(root, "root", 1);
e.Result = dirNode;
And last the FTPListDetail class:
public class FTPListDetail
public bool IsDirectory
get
return !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(Dir) && Dir.ToLower().Equals("d");
internal string Dir { get; set; }
public string Permission { get; set; }
public string Filecode { get; set; }
public string Owner { get; set; }
public string Group { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string FullPath { get; set; }
Now the main problem is that when i list the files and directories and display them in the treeView it dosen't get/display
the files in the root directory. Only in the sub nodes.
I will see the files inside hello and stats but i need also to see the files in the root directory.
1. How can i get and list/display the files of the root directory ?
2. For the test i tried to add to a List<string> the items in var files to see if i get the root files at all.
This is what i tried in the CreateDirectoryNode before it i added:
private List<string> testfiles = new List<string>();
Then after var files i did:
testfiles.Add(files.ToList()
But this is wrong. I just wanted to see in testfiles what items i'm getting in var files in the end of the process.
Both var files and directoryListing are IEnumerable<FTPListDetail> type.
The most important is to make the number 1 i mentioned and then to do number 2.

Risa no.
What i mean is this. This is a screenshot of my ftp server at my host(ipage.com).
Now this is a screenshot of my program and you can see that in my program i have only the directories hello stats test but i don't have the files in the root: htaccess.config swp txt 1.txt 2.png....all this files i don't have it on my treeView.
What i want it to be is that on my program on the treeView i will also display the files like in my ftp server.
I see in my program only the directories and the files in the directories but i don't see the files on the root directory/node.
I need it to be like in my ftp server i need to see in my program the htaccess 1.txt 2.png and so on.
So what i wrote in my main question is that in the var files i see this files of the root directory i just don't know to add and display them in my treeView(my treeView is treeViewMS1).
I know i checked in my program in the method CreateDirectoryNode i see in the first iteration of the recursive that var files contain this root files i just dont know how to add and display them in my treeView.
On the next iterations when it does the recursive it's adding the directories hello stats test and the files in this directories but i need it to first add the root files.

How do I get the Principals as well as the Permissions from Policy?

I know how to get the permissions from a Policy:
  MyPolicy.getPermissions()
How do i get the Principals and Permissions?
If I have:
grant MyPrincipalClass "Jeff" {
   permission MyPerm "doIt"
how do I then (in my code) get both the permission and the Principal?
I am currently doing this:
java.security.PermissionCollection pc = pol.getPermissions(new java.security.CodeSource(new java.net.URL("file:/D:/JAAS/"), null));
for (java.util.Enumeration en = pc.elements(); en.hasMoreElements(); )
                System.out.println(en.nextElement());
}

In reference to your earlier question about "setting the Principal"; those responders pointed you to the JAAS documentation, and that's the answer here, too. You need to implement a Policy class that uses the JAAS Subject as a parameter to the Policy constructor as well as to the getPermissions() method. The Subject contains the Principals that have been added to it by (your) involved LoginModules. I'm still using JAAS 1.0 on JDK 1.3, and am real not familiar yet with the JDK 1.4 version of Security, but; I think the same applies there. Keep in mind; the "grant" only declares the permissions for a Principal; it's up to the LoginModules to establish the identity (identities) of the authenticated Principal(s) to which those permissions are to be granted.

How do is get back to Read & Write permissions on HDs ?

Hi gang,
I was trying to set up one central folder for 4 iTune users (accounts) in our household.
One of the blogs said put in "Shared" folder and set permissions to "Read & Write". I tried but on "Everybody" is does not offer the "R&W" option, just "Read". They also said to be sure you clicked "Apply to Enclosed Items" in the drop down. Although I could not set "Everyone" to "R&W", I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" and the hard drives clicked for at least 15 minutes.
Afterward I got a pop up that said...   System Extension "/System/Library/Extension/ACard6280ATA.kext" was installed improperly and can be used. Try reinstalling. and an OK button to click. I clicked OK and at least 100 more popup appeared, one after the other as I clicked OK.   They all had the same basic message except the info after /System/Library/Extension/, it kept changing slightly on each new popup.
The big problem is I now have three of my four internal hard drives locked to my access and all they say custom on the permissions Privilege window.   Only my main HD is working, thank God.
How do I get back to Read & Write on Privileges, and on all Hard Drives?
Thanks for any help, I just made the move to MAC but have good background with windows operating system.

Thanks for all the reply's, I really appreciate your time. I have Apple Care so I worked with Apple tech last night and today, but they had to pass problem on to their engineers. They did a great job trying to help and spent 2 hours helping me input in code through the Terminal screen. It helped a little, but we still can access drive 2, 3 and 4 due to the global permissions that were changed.   All in all, it looks like we have to reinstall the OS on a washed HD.
I found out that the Repair program (Disk Utilities) only repairs permissions that were created after the initial set up. It won't correct original setting and that's what happened when I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" at the root level. Likewise Time machine does not clone the main operating system so a restore would probably not get all the pieces back in their proper places.
I was thinking of doing a reinstall of the whole Mac HD drive (boot drive) with an exact copy I made with Carbon Cloner a month back, but the techs seem to think they will have to work on of the 4 individual HD I have.
Thanks again for the quick responses, I will let you know what happens in a few days.

How can I get the server absolute path of virtual directory?

Problem context:
absolute path of my application at JRUN server is
c:\testing
nd url is
http://kaspak/test
( kaspak is a machine local to server i-e client nd server r at same machine )
I m uploading a file nd saving it at server.
PROBLEM:
server save my uploaded file at
C:\Program Files\Allaire\JRun\servers\default
[ a path where server is installed ]
while I want to save it at directory
c:\testing\uploadfiles
How can I achieve this???
waiting for quick reply..
KasPak

here is a function for which u said,
protected void readAndSaveFile(MultipartInputStreamHandler in,
String boundary,
String filename,
String contentType) throws IOException
A utility method that reads a single part of the multipart request that represents a file, and saves the file to the given directory. A subclass can override this method for a better optimized or differently behaved implementation.
again saving a file, or uploading a file is no problem,
but saving a file at our desired location,
nd this can only be done if we know reall/absolute path of our application at server,
i-e we need an API which can tells the absolute path of our application.
e.g
our application url is http://kaspak/testcode
we need its absolute mapping to directory on server
e.g it it is at c:\testcode
if we get the absolute path then we can pass it in above function or in File class constructor.
isn't it??
I think in this way i can save file at other location.
But how i can get absolute path?????
thanks for ur reply,
nd waiting for ur reply again.

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

How can I get rid of directory path in front of my folder names in Folder listing in Library mode???

Im using the most recent version of Lightroom 5.3 (updated through CC - even though this has shown up on previous version) on Windows 7 and all the folders in my library are showing up with the directory path in front of my folder names. How can I get rid of this? I do not see any options in preferences to turn this off. I have also turned off preferences in Windows > Folder Options Control Panel "Display full Path in Title bar" option.
I have Lightroom on several computers and have set up preferences the same on each workstation, and this only shows up on one workstation.
Any help would be appreciated.
You can see from the image below how this is showing up.
Thanks
Thanks!

How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in?

How can I get a file to copy all of the files in a directory except itself and the source of the copy function will be the directory the final program is in? This application must be in Lab View 8.

you mean something like this (see below)?
Now you may have to implement code to check if the destination folder exists and to create it, etc. But if you use the Front Panel Control to select the destination folder, it should be okay.
Not the best implementation, mind you but you'll get the idea..
