Safari - link - file server folder?

I have a folder on a file server.
In Windows/Internet Explorer, it is possible to have a link on a web page
that opens this folder directly in Windows Explorer.
I'd like to do the analogous thing on a Mac, i.e., have a link on a web page
that when clicked opens this folder in a Finder window. Is this possible
under Safari? It appears to work for folders on my local disk but not
network folders. I've tried this:
file:///Volumes/path/to/my/folder
But nothing seems to happen.

Good idea but no, the names are identical. I have just noticed that other file servers are doing the same thing. When importing new files from a file server, the file server is duplicated if photos were imported from it prior to upgrading to LR2. See screen shot.
FYI using Mac OS 10.4

The same KM repository (File Server) for Portal DEV and Portal PRD

Hello,
I want to know if it is possible to configure in two different portals, one repository in each Portal Server making reference to the same File Server Folder. It's possible?

SU

Hi SU,
It is possible but I would recommend read only access to the files. A FS repository can becomes inconsistent if the file system files are changed outside of the portal. You can run "CM Repository File System Check" to fix inconsistencies but why risk it?

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

Linked file in Asset folder won't read css

I have put a secondary navigation on my master page. Muse automatically uploads the file into an Asset folder on my server. The linked file in the asset folder does not display the css. I tried loading a second css file into the Asset folder (tried uploading both with css folder and by itself to no avail). I also tried linking it with the full url http://www.... but this doesn't work either. The only way to show the link with style sheet is to export the site to Dreamweaver and strip out asset/. My site has 30 pages total and I am adding information on it daily so this is not a good work around.

Nope, as noted in above posts:
All icons look correct (and "get info" shows the proper apps);
I've copied to other drives, zipped, copied, unzipped and opened.
I'll try taking some over to my old G5 and see if there's any luck there.
It seems like in some way the folder was damaged in copying. I need to upgrade my Disk Warrior to work on this OS, that would adjust any directory/database problems.
I suppose I can pay Apple for their support time, but this one is pretty bizarre.

Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) in the new file name into a Unicode ellipsis char \342\200\246 in the file name. How prevent this ?

Safari "Download Linked File As ..." dialog box seems to convert 3 or more consecutive period chars (\056) into a Unicode ellipsis char ( \342\200\246 ) in the file name that I type. How does one prevent this ?

I know nothing about “EndNote”, but allow me to give you some general advice. Your first, commented-out, line (“--section to wait for window to pop up”) indicates that you need to change the basic way you are tackling what you want to do. When writing any script, if you know the name and location of a file or a directory (folder) you should not cause (or allow, or need) your script to open an Open or a Save window -- just use the path that you already know.

"Download linked file as" Error in Safari 8.0.2

When I select "Download linked file as" I see a pop-up window that does not include the actual file name or extension that I am trying to download.
For example, I right click on a link to a .pdf file on a Web site. The resulting pop-up window reveals the following in the Save As field: xid-52654843_1.
This xid prefix is constant, regardless of the file I am trying to download. It has nothing to do with the name of the actual file.
When I use Chrome the feature works fine. The file name and extension of the .pdf file is filled in the Save As field.
Thanks for your help!

Are you running any Safari extensions that modify the toolbars?
I have the download button in 8.0.2:
It set up that way under Mavericks and Safari seems to have kept the same settings for YO when I upgraded last week.
and this is supposed to reveal the download button on my toolbar?
Take a breath! I believe Dominic is giving you good advice. The download button may not appear until you actually download some to go into the Downloads folder--worth a try.

Safari: how to autofill filename when using 'download linked file as' option

I usually need to download email attachment to specific folders, not to the downloads folder. When I use "download linked file as" I get the option to choose the location, which is great, but the filename is '0'. I don't want to have to cut and paste the filename every time - why doesn't Safari grab the filename automatically, as it does when you just click download? Is there a way around this? It's a big workflow issue for me, and the reason I switched to Chrome previously .. surely there's a fix for this basic function though?
I'm downloading from Gmail running in my browser.

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

Mac & PC Linked files from server?

We are in process of building a catalog using ID CS4. All files are on a file server. When opening a file on the PC it causes the linked files to show up low res due to the fact that the PC can not find the linked files because of the drive names are different. By that I mean when you map a drive on PC it uses letters to start out the drive name (N/Art/Files/Catalog) where mac just used the name (Art/Files/Catalog). Does anyone know how to fix this so the PC recognizes the files?

We work in CS3, both on MACs and PCs, and don't have such a problem. Could you copy&paste here the exact path to the same link from MAC and PC, or make and post a couple of screenshots?
For example, here is how it looks on my side:
PC sees it as (\\server\share\folder\subfolder\file)
\\10.44.54.70\InDisign\MAC\Face\Sambrus_Elena_leto10.tif
MAC sees the same link as (share\folder\subfolder\file)
InDisign:MAC:Face:Sambrus_Elena_leto10.tif

Could not find linked file if server name of those linked files have changed.

Dear Bros,
Our server path is \\server01 (Mapped P drive), recently all file of AI and linked file was moved to new server location \\server02 without changing drive letter because of critical needs.
However, we've encountered a error as below when opening the AI file after moving all file to new location.
"Could not find the linked file"a10N.jpg". Choose replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged."
I believed that it is required to replace and point the file to correct location that should be solved for the time being.
Unfortunately, i estimated that there are over thousands of linked files I need do aforesaid action to solve, it is very difficult to do it one by one...
Is there any tools or method i can be rapidly to replace or point all linked file to correct location?
Appreciated if anyone can help me? Thanks
Kelvin

AI stores the UNC paths that resolve the full network location, not mapped drives, when absolute paths are used. Only paths relative to the document location in the same folder or lower do not use that info. You would have to batch process your files to fix your paths, but perhaps it would be sufficient to create a virtual network location that mimics your old server and point it to the same path on the server....

[450 Transfer aborted. Link to file server lost] Followed Adobe Chat advise..still getting this message..

Since after trying four times this morning to log on to Chat support to continue working on this issue with them only to find chat it isn't working..I thought I would try here before I take a bat or some other item and disassemble my computer with it. Details on what is happening, what I have done, etc...
After updating my website using Muse the following happens:
I save my site.
I click FTP upload
Go through the first screens
Hit okay for upload
Pages load
Then uploading images begins…goes to either the first or third (61-62%) and stalls. After waiting for what seems forever..a new box appears.
Error:
Error uploading file loanimal2013.jpg. Click Resume to try again. If this problem persists, try again later.
[450 Transfer aborted. Link to file server lost]
Sometimes I can hit resume, the image will load immediately and it will continue for a more images then stops again.
Yet I have not gotten past about 74% or the 25th image before it or me stops as this is very time consuming. Time that I don’t have.
After speaking to an Adobe representative last week, it was suggested that maybe because my files were on an external that could be the issue and suggested relinking them. So, I did.
The process I followed was:
Go to assets
Right click Relink
Searched…Found corresponding image moved it to my local hard drive… then highlighted it in local folder…hit the Open button on the bottom
It returned me back to the original screen
I repeated this for all the assets
After relinking them…I saved the page…reopened it…tried uploading and it still having the same issues
After this didn’t work I contacted the host company and they checked to see if images could load by ftp and found no issues.
I am past frustrated at this moment, as I have been using the same method of saving and uploading for a few years now and suddenly I have this issue. And, I am not a technical person so I have no idea what else to do…if you can help it would be appreciated.

Downloading linked files via Safari after Leopard upgrade

Prior to my Leopard upgrade, when I would go to my audio site, I could click on the link and it would play in quicktime no problem, if I wanted to download the file... I would use "option" click.. again no problem. Now after the upgrade, if I click the file, still plays no problem but when I attempt to download the file using "option" click, it downloads the html address as opposed to the actual linked file. And when I use "control" click to emulate a right click, none of those options work either. I get the same result. It downloads the html link only and not the file. This all worked fine prior to the upgrade and my friend who also upgraded is also getting the same exact results. I couldn't find anything in the Safari options so I am at a loss..... Any suggestions?

I have the same problem... Prior to upgrading to Leopard, I had a folder named "Downloads" located on my desktop that Firefox saved files to. After upgrading to Leopard, I set the new Apple-supplied Downloads folder (located in my home folder) as the default location, but Firefox still refused to download files.
I manually moved everything from my own Downloads folder (located on the Desktop) to the Apple-supplied folder (in my home folder) and created an alias (for convenience) for this folder on the desktop. Alas, Firefox still refused to download.
Eventually, I just deleted the alias to the Downloads folder located on my desktop and now Firefox will download just fine. Kinda irritating...

Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac work with OSX Server?

Hi There
I wonder if I should install OSX Server on an iMac wher several users work on the same files and folders.
My question - before I do something I might regret:
Does simple file and folder sharing on an iMac within several users really work with the help of OSX Server?
All I want to be able to do:
Admin creates a new folder1 and gives it read- and write access for user1 and user2.
User1 creates a subfolder1 in folder1, and a document1 in subfolder1.
User2 edits document1. Later Admin edits document1.
All these simple editing of files and folders (and subfolders) within a main folder should be possible. This is not possible now.
Is everything clear? I'm not a network specialist or something, I just want to give some co-workers access to some data on my computer without problems.

So what you need are recursive permissions.
I suggest you create a group and add user1 and user2 to that group. You can name that group whatever you want, but for now i will call it FSUsers
Execute this in terminal. Replace FSUsers with your new group
sudo chmod -R +a "FSUsers allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextat tr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /Users/Shared/*
Replace /Users/Shared with the location of your shared folder. Make sure you keep the /* at the end (this allows all subfolders and files to get the same permissions.
If you need to add people to the share just add them to the FSUsers group, the FSUsers group should should also be allowed in the sharing preferences.

Source path too long :-Unable to delete mutiple number of folder and files from windows 2008 R2 file server

Hi Team,
we have a file server on windows server 2008 R2, I have copied some data from one server to another server using robocopy . I have checked access permission it seems okay no issues with access permission. but when i am trying to delete these folder i am
getting below error message
Error message:-
The source file name are larger than is supported by the file system.try moving to a location which has a shorter path name or try renaming to shortcut names before attempting this operations

I have tried everything , but nothing help , getting same error
could any one help me regarding this.
Regards, Triyambak
I have not looked at the other thread mentioned, but usually when this ends up happening, There are several ways to go about it. One is to map a drive to the UNC path deeper into the folder structure.
So instead of C:\long\path\that\we\dont\want\files\in
You map a drive.. lets say M:\ to \\computer\c$\long\path\that\we\dont\want
Now, when you open Explorer to M:\ you've elimintated the length of the path down to M:\files\in which is completely usable.
The other way, is to shorten the names of everything. For example...
Folder structure like this:
Root
-----Folder1
-----Folder2
--------------Folder2A
-----Folder3
--------------Folder3A
Rename all the folders to shorten up the path. Rename Folder1 to '1' Rename Folder2 to '2', Rename folder3 to '3. Then try to delete. If it's still too long, go one folder deeper. Rename Folder2A to '1' and
Rename Folder3A to '1' and so on. Basically keep renaming everything to a single digit character and eventually you'll shrink the path down to where you can shift-delete everything remaining.
Hope that helps.

OPEN DATA SET to write files in application server folder - some of the files are missing

Hi,
I'm using OPEN DATASET statement in batch job to write the files in application server. what i'm experiencing is when i schedule the batch job all the files are not writing into the folder.
If i run the report again to write the missed files, the files are writing into the application server folder.
after opening the dataset, i'm closing it. do we need to give any delay between creation of the files? or until the first write operation is done, 2nd one can't start ..how can we achieve this.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks,
Adi.

Hello Bathineni,
Are you using the sy-subrc check after the OPEN DATASET statement.
If not use a sy-subrc check and transfer the contents to file only when the OPEN DATASET returns value sy-subrc = 0.
if sy-subrc is 8 repeat the same loop say for 3 attempts until the OPEN DATASET becomes 0.
DO 3 TIMES. <---- put any number of attempts as you need
OPEN DATASET.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
TRANSFER contents to file.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET.
Regards,
Thanga

Can you set a max size for a folder on a file server

I've got a G5 Xserve that I'm using as a file server running 10.3.9. I need more space on my array so I bought bigger drives and will move the data to the new, larger array.
For the health of my drives, I want my array to maintain at least 10% free space so I would like for the people using the shares to only see 90% of the larger space. (I don't want to have to be the 'drive space' policeman 6 months from now when the RAID fills up again)
I know I could create 2 partitions in diskutil but I'd like something more dynamic.
Ideally I'd like to put my shared folders inside of a main folder and tell Server to only display 90% of the size of the partition when a folder from the partition is mounted remotely. That way people won't know there is a quota which keeps them from trying to copy data into a share that shows 10% free space.
The shares are used by both macs and PCs so I'd rather not go with a solution based upon network protocol.
Many Thanks,
Paul
G5 Xserve Mac OS X (10.3.9)

There's no way I'm aware of to artificially display a different capacity/available space than what's actually there. If it's a 1TB volume, it's a 1TB volume and the OS isn't going to report that as 900GB.
The only other solutions I can think of is to either enable quotas which will let you restrict the amount of disk space any user can consume, or attach a folder action to the volume where the script automatically checks the volume size whenever new files are added and takes action at the appropriate time (you need to define what that action is, though).
