How to set permissions to edit/save files copied from a Win 7 PC

I'm working on a project where I have to generate a series of screengrabs on a PC and transfer them to my MacPro via the network for onward tranmission via email but some need to be edited first in Photoshop.
If I'm just forwarding them via email with no changes there's no problem, but when I need to edit them in Photoshop I can't save unless I go to Get Info for the file concerned, unlock Sharing & Permissions (which requires my administrator password) and then change the 'everyone' drop-down setting from 'Read only' to 'Read & Write', then re-lock and close Get Info.
The default permissions for the PC files as they arrive over the network are:
nobody Read & Write
staff Read only
everyone Read only
I have dozens and possibly a hundred or more of these to do, so having to re-set Permissions every time is a major pain and waste of time.
Is there something I can change either on the Mac or the PC (which is running Windows 7) so that I can just edit and save these files without all this hassle?
Thanks,
Michael

Hi friends,
how to set password for a zip file and should be checked when reading that file???
thanks.

Heyy man, i think, u did not get my problem.
all i have to do is:
i have to create a zip file, and we should secure it with password when creating. and whenever the user wants to open that zip file he should provide correct passowrd otherwise he could not read that file. So, we should check for that also.
Tanks for reply.

How to Set Polling Options of a DB adapter From EnterpriseManager/AdminCons

HI All,
We all know after Dragging a DB adapeter we can manually set the polling Options in J developer
However,
My query is how to Set Polling Options of a DB adapter From EnterpriseManager/AdminCons so that we dun hav to change our code and redeploy if any change is asked for.
My DB adapter is deployed to EM.(SOA Server).
Polling Options are like:
From the Polling Frequency list, select how frequently to poll for new records or events.
In the Database Rows per XML Document field, specify the number of rows per XML document when sending events to Oracle BPEL PM or Mediator. This is the batch setting between the database adapter and its consumer: Oracle BPEL PM or Mediator.
In the Database Rows per Transaction field, select Unlimited or enter a value to indicate the number of table rows to process during a single transaction.
When polling the database for events, you can order the returned rows by the selected column by using the Order By list. The best practice is to choose <No Ordering>, as message ordering regardless is not guaranteed without extra configuration.

Hi,
Inside your composite (in the EM), you can see there is a category table call 'Services and References'.
Under it, find the name of your JCA Adapter, where you've define the polling from the DB. Click on it and go to the property tab.
There you can find all the parameters you've set and more.
After you finish update it, click on Apply (this will automatically poll the data).

No write access to files copied from a CD-ROM

Hello:
I have searched and found a few topics on fixing permissions on files copied from CD-ROM that are read only. I would like to know if there is a way to prevent the problem. I routinely get files burned on Windows machines and I can copy the folders and enclosed files to my desktop but both the folders and the files inside show up with "Read Only" permissions.
While it is possible to fix it, I would have thought that if they are copied from a CD-ROM to my desxtop that I should automatically have write access to them. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

Repartitioning and reformatting will remove all the information on the drives. You will prefer to backup any data you wish to save. You can do that by transferring those files to one of the two drives using a Windows computer or by purchasing a third drive that can be OS X formatted to which the data on one of the Windows drives may be copied. Then repartition/reformat one of the Windows drives for OS X and copy the data from the third drive to this drive. Then copy the data on the remaining Windows drive to the now empty third drive, repartition/reformat the second Windows drive. Finally, copy the data from the third drive to the second Windows drive.
There is really no need for a Time Capsule nor would it be preferred since you will now have three perfectly good external drives to use for backups and/or storage.

NTFS issue: video files copied from Arch won´t load on other devices

Hi!
I'm having this odd issue... I'll start from zero:
I have a 1TB external HDD (usb3, iomega). It has an NTFS filesystem since it was always my Windows backup drive. Since I've buyed a Digital TV that supports video playback from external drives and almost any video format, I'm using it as a movie/etc device. Previusly I had installed Ubuntu... but since I've installed Arch, any video file that I copy to the external HDD won't work on the TV. When I try to reproduce those files copied from Arch on the TV it hags and reboot several times.
I don't know where to start. I've installed ntfs-3g-fuse package for mounting r/w without root privileges... and my user is part of "disk" and "storage" group.
Any ideas?
PD: Sorry, I'm not an english speaker... If it's not legible I'll try to write it again.

Usually crash on access indicates damaged filesystem. For example drive was removed without umount-ing it.
For start you can run file system check on your drive from Windows - "chkdsk /f X:"
You also can run it as "chkdsk /f /r X:" to check for bad-blocks (though it is not so critical now days).
Keep in mind - NTFS is proprietary system so 'ntfsfix' from ntfsprogs in Linux could help sometime but do not hold you breath with it.
Better find Windows for Windows filesystem.
Or you can just recreate files system from scratch with mkntfs - all data on the drive will be lost, obviously. But you do not need windows for that.

Eugene.

How to set permissions to a file ?

i have a requirement to set file permissions and also to get the current permission mode on the file. PLease let me know if there are any inbuilt functions to set permissions to a file. (eg: CHMOD in unix) .
canRead() and canWrite() are only to get the permission. what about methods to set the permission for a file ? If there are no methods whats the possible way...
Thanks,

How to set permissions for folder?

Dear all,
How can iset permissions for a particular folder?
I am creating new folders for new users who access the program.
Is there any way yo set permissions so that no one is able to edit the name of the folder ?
Thanks,
Ritesh

Hi Ritesh,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well today.
You can programmatically change the Read Only and Hidden Status of a file
in labview using the DOS prompt from LabVIEW - called
System.Execvi.
Here are some links regarding the DOS commands you can use,
http://www.ss64.com/nt/subinacl.html
http://www.ss64.com/nt/cacls.html
So I beleive you could find a DOS command which could alter the editting properties of the name..
Another way to prevent the user altering the file would be to change
the user permission's in windows.. but it could affected the code and
most IT departments would not allow this.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards

File adapter-How to set line break in text file-split record into two lines

Dear Guru's,
I have to solve following problem with XML (with mulitiple records) to TEXT file scenario using file adapter. I have to output for ever ONE data record in XML always two identical lines in text file. Second line should have a little bit different mapping in few fields like date,... So I did duplicate fileds in my output structure in mapping and need to know how to set line break in the middle and see half of structure in first line and next structure half in second line
My output structure in mapping is:
CASHFLOW
- INTERFACE
- GESELLSCHAFT
- ANWENDUNG
- PRODUKT
- VERTRAG
- BETRAG
- WAEHRUNG
- DIRECTION
- BEWEGUNGSTYP
- FAELLIGKEIT
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG
- ZAHLUNGSTAG
- RENDITE
- INTERFACE2
- GESELLSCHAFT2
- ANWENDUNG2
- PRODUKT2
- VERTRAG2
- BETRAG2
- WAEHRUNG2
- DIRECTION2
- BEWEGUNGSTYP2
- FAELLIGKEIT2
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2
- ZAHLUNGSTAG2
- RENDITE2
Question is how can I set on receiving file adapter in Content Conversion Parameters that fields from first structure half INTERFACE...RENDITE should be outputed in one line and fields from second half of structure INTERFACE2...RENDITE2 should start on second line in final text file.
I'm getting at the moment one line only and I need to know how can set line break so that second line starting with INTERFACE2(CA)...RENDITE2 will start in new line.
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000",CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
This should be final output:
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000"
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
My file adapter settings:
RecordsetStructure=CASHFLOW
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE,GESELLSCHAFT,ANWENDUNG,PRODUKT,VERTRAG,BETRAG,WAEHRUNG,DIRECTION,BEWEGUNGSTYP,FAELLIGKEIT,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG,ZAHLUNGSTAG,RENDITE
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
CASHFLOW.endSeparator='nl'
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE2,GESELLSCHAFT2,ANWENDUNG2,PRODUKT2,VERTRAG2,BETRAG2,WAEHRUNG2,DIRECTION2,BEWEGUNGSTYP2,FAELLIGKEIT2,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2,ZAHLUNGSTAG2,RENDITE2
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
It wont help if I add two identical structures in mapping because in output i would see for multiple entries section with first lines only and after that section with second lines only. And CASHFLOW is one part of more complex mapping ...
(This is final output structure RecordsetStructure=HEADER,CASHFLOW,CONDITION,REFERENCE,CONTRACT - more sections with different data and all these should have duplicate lines at the end)
Thanks a lot for any help
Cheers
Marian

Hi Ivan,
right, I did test just for sure.
Putting constant 'nl' into field CASHFLOW-INTERFACE1 didnt help - still getting one line instead two lines.
CA ,"0100" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,2 ,12 ,2009-01-28 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-28 ,"0.0000000" ,'nl' ,"GTP1" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,1 ,10 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,"0.0000000"
So there is still question. Is there any way (mapping,...) how to output always 2 lines in text file for one record in XML. It always does 1 record in mapping structure = 1 line but we need 2 lines ...
Example:
Input: 4 records in XML
Output: 8 lines in final text file ...
Thanks to you all guys

How can I transfer my edited RAW files to a flash drive?

I have 30 RAW files (NEF) from a holiday party that I have edited, and would like to give to a friend for further editing. We both work on Macs. I selected the 30 photos in Bridge, went to "Copy to" and selected the flash drive. The raw files along with their xmp files show up. But unfortunately when I bring up the files on the flash drive using the "View as Cover Flow" option in Preview, they show up in the original RAW form - as if I'd just downloaded them off my camera again - without edits.
Many people have mentioned exporting and DNG conversion. With regard to the first: when I select photos, right click, and go to "export to" my only option is "hard drive". Once I select that, nothing appears to happen. No new folders or files seem to appear in my hard drive. With regard to the second: I am nervous about losing information via the DNG conversion. I want to make sure my friend has all the information pertaining to each photo in the event that she needs to do a more significant round of second edits.
How can I achieve this transfer? Also, should the fact that my friend plans on using Lightroom for edits bear any significance on my decisions? Thank you...

The Save as DNG is not in Bridge, It is only available in Camera Raw.
Open your file in ACR, at the lower left click the SAVE IMAGE button. From there you can select several different formats.
Select DNG and adjust the options. You can also embed the original raw file inside the DNG (but gives larger file size)
It's not clear if you are opening the files directly from the flash drive or saving them first to the hard drive.
I would recommend always saving files to the hard drive, eject the flash drive, and then open from there rather than directly from flash drive
We've all had flash drives that go bad or act wonky.
Not trying to work on the files while they still reside on the flash drive is just one less problem to worry about.
Good Luck

How to set permissions on devicemapper block device

I'm setting up a new RAC on RHEL5.1 using device mapper for multipath functionality.
How should I set the permissions for the block devices I'm going to use for ocr, voting and asm?
/dev/mapper/ocr1
/dev/mapper/voting1
etc.
Regards
Jon-Arne Storelv

Markus,
You are right about udev changing drastically between RHEL 4 and RHEL 5. The paper I referred to does include some guidelines for setting permissions for RHEL 5 as well. Here are some relevant extracts from the same pdf document:-
# From udev.permissions section
This file was obsoleted in later versions of the 2.6 kernels such as SLES10, RHEL5 and
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (OEL5), that functionality was merged into the rules files, which is explained later in this paper
...and later you will find this example in the document
For RHEL5, OEL5, SLES10
• Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-raw.rules with the following content
with the following content
KERNEL=="raw[1-2]*", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="640"
KERNEL=="raw[3-5]*", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="oinstall", MODE="660"
/etc/udev/rules.d/50-udev.rules on Centos 5 gives plenty of examples of settings for all different types of devices. We really need to specify OWNER, GROUP and MODE for devices that RAC will use in a rules file.
Thanks,
Satish

How to set permissions like "For all users" with Sandbox

Hello!
Hello!
I am using Sandbox for Mac OS X Leopard and I've got a question to you:
How can I set up a folder to behave like the For all users folder in the users directory?
Greetings

Well, sandbox sets ACL's not posix permissions. The sticky bit is a posix permission. Sand box will allow you to do something similar to the sticky bit using ACL's, but the exact duplication of the sticky bit is not possible, but something just as useful or more useful can be easily implemented.
To set the sticky bit you will need an app called FileXaminer or the Terminal.app command line.
to set the sticky bit simply put "1" in front of the the permissions number when you run chmod on the command line, here is an example:
chmod 1775 /users/data/shared #assigns permissions 775 and the sticky bit#
chmod 775 /users/data/shared #assigns permissions 775 without the sticky bit#
note: note actual use of the chmod and chown commands will, in most cases require the sudo (super user do) command to be used with them. example:
sudo chmod 1775 /users/data/shared #assigns temporary super user priviledge#
The way I set my shared user's directories with ACL's is this:
first I created folder /users/data -permissions=777 (everyone).
I had three users so I created folders for each in /users/data:
/users/data/user1 #this is just example-substitute real user name#
/users/data/user2
/users/data/user3 #etc,etc,#
set the posix permission on each user folder 700 (owner:read,write,execute)
set the owner and group on each one accordingly:
chown user1:staff /users/data/user1 #substitute real user name#
chown user2:staff /users/data/user2
chown user3:staff /users/data/user3 #(etc,etc)#
Now each user has their own data folder they can read and write to at will (when they are logged in to their user account).
They can safely create and maintain their data and no one can delete it.
Since these are shared data accounts. other users will need to read the data, this is where the ACL's come in.
You will need to use Sandbox to place ACL's for each allowed user, on each of the user directories:
0: user:joe inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
1: user:mary inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
2: user:sue inherited allow list,addfile,search,add_subdirectory,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsec urity,file_inherit,directoryinherit
Basically with the above ACL's the only thing the allowed user can't do is delete files. They can copy files, they can add files, etc. This behavior is somewhat similar to what can be accomplished with the sticky bit, but much more controlled and structured. That is the beauty of using ACL's.
Using SandBox you can taylor the permissions as you see fit for each every user. You can set permissions for an administrator to delete files as well. You can take away or add permissions for each user as you see fit. let your imagination be your guide.
ACL's weren't meant to replace posix permissions, but rather to allow administrators to fine tune user permissions.

How to set permissions IN Open Directory USING Open Directory groups?

Hi all,
Apologies if I've missed this but have been searching for two days trying to figure out how to delegate permissions within the OD to a number of different OD groups and i can't seem to find any way to do this either at the command line or with WGM.
Examples: an OD group containing those who will manage the full directory need to have permissions on all containers, child objects, and their attributes in the directory. For this one in particular I seem to be able to nest a group in the default Admin group, but this isn't really what i'm after. I need to create OD groups with the ability only to manipulate objects of class apple-computer and similarly, apple-user (really all inetOrgPerson objects). In a nutshell: how do i set permissions on specific attributes or object classes using OD groups?
thanks for any pointers...

How to set the header of the file to excel type when writing it?

Hello,
I am using POI API to read an excel file that I have previously written using Java, but not using POI (I've written the file using Microsoft office xml and then writing it using FileOutputStream with an xls extension).
The problem is that when I read back the file I am getting this error:
The system was unable to upload the file: Invalid header signature; read 7311066695147732796, expected -2226271756974174256.
which means that the header of the file is not excel typed.
If I manually open the file and save it as excel POI is able to read it but I don't want to do this as this entire process of writing/reading the file should be automated. I don't want to use POI for writing the file because POI cannot provide me everything that I need when Microsoft office xml can.
So, my question is simple: Is there a way, using java, to set the header of a file to excel so that POI will recognize it as such?

hi roy,
@see: http://poi.apache.org/hssf/index.html
"HSSF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the Excel '97(-2007) file format. It does not support the new Excel 2007 .xlsx OOXML file format, which is not OLE2 based."
maybe jexcelapi supports you in writing your xls:

Plsss help me: how to set default values in html:file and html:radio

Hai,
To set default value to text box i use the following code. It works well.
<html:text property="modifyserverdesc" value="<%= serverDesc%>" styleClass="text" size="38"/>But for file i use the code
<html:file styleClass="file" property="modifyserverimgfile" value="<%= serverImage%>" size="40"/>It doesn't display value. What is problem here?
how to set default selection in <html:radio>.

No it won't help.
You can't set a value into an <input type="file"> control at all. The user has to put values in themselves.
The reason behind this is security. If the programmer could put any value they liked in there, you could upload any file at all from a users computer without their intervention. eg C:\windows\system32\passwords.txt
Bottom line: you can't put a default value into the input type="file" control.
And a good thing too ;-)
