File sharing: Need to be able to edit file & save to a shared folder on a different networked iMac's HD

We have new iMac's (running OS X 10.9.1) and they are all on the same network. There is a folder on computer #1 (folder is named: 2010) with Word & Excel documents in it (we have to use those instead of Pages & Numbers) that needs to be shared and accesible by computer #2. This has been done successfully.
The problem is: When I make changes to the files from computer #2 (or if I add a folder), the files are not accesible on computer #1 any longer...you can see there are new files or folders, but you can't interact with them from computer #1 if they were created on computer #2. From computer #2, I created a folder named "2014 Ledger" in the shared folder, and when I look at the newly created folder on computer #1, it has a red dot with a minus sign in the bottom right? When I click on it, it gives me an error.
I called Apple Care, but they didn't seem to know how to be able to edit & save a shared file on one computer, but keep the main file saved to the hard drive of the other computer. We did this for years with our PC's on a network, so I guess I just figured Mac's could do it as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions of how we can access the files on computer #1 after they've been altered and saved or created on computer #2?
These screen shots are from computer #1 (the computer where the folder should be hosted on the hard drive):

Now I'm unsure if I need to change permissions to the 300GB worth of files on that external drive. (that's question #1.)
If you want to allow anyone accessing as "user" to be able to read or write all files on that volume, you could do that. You should also be able to set the volume attribute to ignore ownership:
http://www.peachpit.com/guides/content.aspx?g=mac&seqNum=256
If I look at those files from a client machine, logged in as 'user', Finder tells me they belong to 'unknown'.
I imagine that they're owned by a user with a user ID that's not present on that machine.
Question #2: If I understand correctly, the settings on the server's Sharing preferences pane only apply for ACCESS to the shared folder (i.e. they make it possible to log in via AFP).
If that were the case, there would be no need for the "Read & Write" / "Read Only" setting in the Sharing panel.

Is it possible to save a briefing book to a shared folder

Hello Gurus,
Is it possible to save a briefing book to a shared folder
With regards!
Ram

Is it possible to save a briefing book to a shared folderIf you can think of creating an automated process to ftp the files from "My Briefing Book" folders to a shared location based on some frequency. But you need to make a point here that each user's briefing book will be stored in its respective personal (My) location.

How do I set-up a Shared Folder to automatically grant read

In OS 10.6.8, how do I set-up a Shared folder to automatically grant read & write access to all new MS Office files? Older files are fine. But, when new files are created and saved by one registered user, those files are "read-only" when opened by a different registered user, even though the permissions that are on the "Shared Folder" are read and write for each of the registered user groups. Can't this be changed somehow? The computer is used by two different work groups and some of the WORD or PPTX files are shared by both both work groups and are in the /users/shared folder when one of the user groups creates a new file and saves it to the Shared folder, it can't be edited unless saved with a different name. I need to be able to fix this. I assume it's an Office problem. If I can fix using terminal commands, please be detailed.
Thank you.

For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Saving to shared folder on server: Item [...] can't be copied because there isn't enough free space – even though there is!

Hi all,
I have a strange error with my mac mini mavericks/server setup. Everything is updated to the latest software. I have a promise pegasus R4 over thunderbolt connected as my data harddrive-raid and use my server as a filesharing setup (I also use other services such as webserver, timemachine, dns, open directory, vpn, messages, caching).
I have about 10 users connected to this server that authenticate through their respective user accounts on the server and are all in the same group. Recently users startet complaining about a disk full error showing up in finder (or any other program they use), when they tried saving stuff on a shared folder on the server. I am not really sure what this is. The strange thing is that the error is not consistent, meaning some users can save and others cant, even though they are all in the same group and that group has read and write privileges according to the file sharing settings. When I use finder to propagate the rights on the shared folder, sometimes that helps and all of the sudden the user can save his file again. Also I have found that the user can save very small files, but not larger files (>1mb). The harddisk containing the shared folder has still several TB free (its the promise pegasus R4) and I can save files on it from some other computers or from the server itself…
Basically I have no idea what is causing this and I don’t really found anything alarming in the logs so far. I would appreciate any kind of hint, how to come close to what is causing this.
Thanks and all best

BUMP, anyone? I still have this problem...

E4200 v1- problem creating a shared folder for the FTP server.

Hi,
I'm trying to share an external USB harddrive (4TB- HFS+) that is attached to my e4200 router. I'm trying to set up the FTP server, but when I try to create a shared folder, I get kicked out of the browser based interface for the router just as I'm trying to save the new shared drive. I have tried many different things to get it to work: different computers (PC and Mac) different browsers, reflashing the firmware (which is version 1.0.06, build 3), I tried all of this with an NTFS formatted drive as well- everytime I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure.
I can see my drive on the local network, and I know the FTP server is working, because I can log into it from the outside- but I don't see anything shared, when I do.
I have successfully gotten the media server to work using the same drive- but I can't create shared folder there either... It seems to have shared the entire disk automatically when I first connected the drive to the router.
Anybody have anything else for me to try?
Help!

Same problem. Has anyone found a solution? I contacted tech support and got nonsense responses. I was of course asked to Factory Reset even though I told them I had done it before I called - classic brush off. Basicly here is the problem.
1. I cannot create a share on a USB connected HDD - this worked on the older Firmware. Now every time I try to set up the shared folder- right as I hit the save button it kicks me out saying: Session Failure. I am not the only person with the problem. Crazy thing is I had a share created and it worked after the upgrade. I wanted to add an additional share and now it wont share anything. HDD plugged into my PC works great. I was asked to try a different PC - even though I told them I tried from IE, Chrome, Firefox on a Windows 7, Vista, windows XP, IPad, Kindle and Samsung phone.
2. While troubleshooting with the agent I discovered that although I have remote access disabled in the Administration>Management page but I can still access the router remotely. This is a huge security issue.
3. Linksys is no longer a Cisco Company - if the code is this bad Belkin should take the Cisco logo out of the GUI. Don’t blame Cisco for your poor SW.
I am ready to buy a new router and avoid Linksys and Belkin all together in light of these issues.
Additionally, I would simply downgrade but the older Firmware is not available. When I asked for it I was told I could not get it.

Why can't I share my files easily in a shared folder?

Let me explain more carefully. I have two Macs on a home network. I want to share a folder which is on Mac 1's hard drive so that Mac 2 can access it over the network and open any document in that folder, make changes, etc. In other words, to be able to collaborate on a document in that shared folder so that both Mac 1 and Mac 2 are treated the same. So that both users have equal, shared access to the contents of that folder.
So to do this, I go to sharing in prefs and add the folder. I set it so that everyone can read and write. I would think "everyone" covers it. So I go to Mac 2 and it can see the folder, but when Mac 2 tries to open a document, it opens with a warning that it is read only. So on Mac 2, I have to save a brand new copy of the same document with a new name. I don't want multiple copies. I want to be able to create a document on Mac 1 and tell the user on Mac 2 to go and open it.
This happens with Word documents and Final Draft documents, but with Final Draft documents, opening the doc on Mac 2 actually crashes Final Draft. The exact same document sent to Mac 2 by email opens just fine.
So what's going on and how can I set up this shared folder so that it works nice like I want it to?
Thanks.

Ordinary webspace won't do - what you get is a text file: this is the problem - MobileMe took the file published by iCal and formatted it as a calendar. Presumably if you were running your own server as indicated in the help page it would do the same; but unless 1&1 can speficially provide you with a CalDAV server it's not going to work.
Do your colleagues have Macs? For those who do, they can subscribed to a shared calendar in iCal and it couldn't be simpler. Presumably Windows owners could do the same thing in a suitable calendar program; and this is a lot simpler solution.
Another route: according to this site:
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/publish-ical-calendars-mobileme-os-server-mac/
box.net can do this for you. I seem to remember that this arose a while back, but I have a feeling that the poster then couldn't get it to work. I can't advise on that, but you might want to investigate it as an option.

Can not edit file on network shared folder after upgrading to windows 7

Merry Christmas and happy new year,
Due to some configuration changes on a specific application, I have forced to upgrade OS of a few number of workstations from Windows XP to windows 7. After upgrading I am facing a strange problem on WIN7 workstations. These workstation are member of a Windows
2008 R2 Active Directory domain which also has a Windows 2003 advanced server additional domain controller. Also there are a number of shared folders on some member servers (all windows 2003) which are mapped as network drives at user logon. Before upgrading
mentioned workstations to WIN7, users was able to edit his/her files on all of mapped network drive according to his/her permissions without any problem on their WINXP workstations, But after installing windows 7 they begin facing problem on one of these mapped
network drives and the problem exactly is when they edit a file, in more specific word an excel file, and then try to save, the excel returns an error message of "document not saved" and exit the excel program. It becomes more strange when you learn
that the edited excel file is disappeared and replace with some "tmp" file. If user copy the excel file to his/her own desktop, edit it and then copy it back to its original place on mapped network drive, it will be replaced normally with its older
version. In other words if user wants to edit an excel file on that specific network drive, he/she must edits it somewhere else and then replace it on the network drive. If the same user uses a WINXP box, there will be no problem.
Can anybody help me to fix the issue?
TIA
Bijan

Thank you Karen,
The problem is fixed, but my case was none of what you suggested. In fact I have
another problem which I described in another question and it was of the root of this excel file issue. I describe what I have done to fix the latter problem hope to help fixing similar issues to mine.
Okay, as it is described in the
question, I was not able to open a shared folder with its UNC address while it could be mapped as a network drive without any problem. I examined what I was replied and some other ways, came to no result. I decided investigate a similar shared folder in
permissions to problematic one to see if the problem is repeated. So I created a folder and shared it with similar permissions and examined it. Surprisingly there was no problem. It was wise to remove sharing of the problematic folder and share it again to
see if the problem resist. But when I tried to remove sharing I received an error message saying that
the shared folder is related to a DFS root. When I took a look at the DFS roots of domain there was no sign of the problematic folder (that made me recall that I created a DFS root with problematic folder mistakenly and removed that DFS root).
After little searching, I found out that the problem could be caused by traces of the removed DFS root. Yep! I found the suspect! The registry key
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DFS\Domain\problematic shared folder. I removed the key restarted DFS service and log off and on and Bingo!
This problem pops up a few more questions:
1) Why is not the registry key related to removed DFS root deleted from the registry of windows 2003 server?
2) Why was I able to browse this ex-DFS root shared folder without any problem in windows XP while it was problematic in windows 7?
3) As there is no special client service for DFS and user can access DFS root targets like other shared folders what is the deference between shared resource access mechanisms in windows XP and windows 7 that caused the problem?
Bests,

Using iPhoto 09, 8.1.2 How do I re-route saving pictures to the hard drive? Currently am saving to files on 'my' partition, and would like to change to save to a shared file so both partitions can view and access.

Drag the Library from the Pictures folder to the Users/Shared folder. I would point out that folks doing this on 10.6 and later frequently meet permissions issues. You might do better moving it to an appropriately formatted External Disk.

Question about the shared folder when backing up audio

Hello, kind Mac folk. I've read a lot about using Itunes to backup Itunes libraries onto multiple CD-R's and it seems that, right now, this is the best option for me. However, I've also read that it's a good idea to also backup the "users/shared" folder from the HD because it contains some invisible information regarding the authentication of music that I purchased using my .Mac/Itunes account. So is it possible to burn this folder in the same burning project I'll use accross the CD-R's on which my tunes will go? Or do I need to place this folder in a burn folder and back it up that way? And, if the latter is the only way possible, will it matter that the information is on a separate disc if I ever need to restore or upgrade my hardware? Thanks so much for your help and advice.
Austin

If you create your backup CD-Rs from within iTunes, it's not possible to include the Shared folder.
You have to burn that folder as a separate project.
The size of the folder can be fairly large (mine is about 1.9 GB) depending on the applications and specific use of your computer.
If your only goal is to save the authorization info in case of a HD crash or other failure, it won't help. After repair of a logic board or changing RAM, you will be asked to authorize again anyway.
Take a look at this article
The authorization info is stored in the 'SC Info.sidb' file inside the 'SC Info' folder in Shared.
You can 'unhide' invisible files by tools like Tinkertool or OnyX (you can find them on versiontracker.com)
Hope this helps.

Sharing the /Users/Shared folder

My wife is using a Macbook Air (10.5.4) and would like to access photos stored on our iMac G4 (10.4.11).
She can connect to the G4 using cmd-K but the only volumes in /User that show up are those of the four family members, the /User/Shared volume is not visible and this is where the photos are; from the G4 of course all users have access. I checked the permissions on the folder and it looks correct...rwx for all.
Also, in her own volume on the G4 she cannot open the system standard folders (Movies, Desktop, Library, etc.) from the Air but she can open any folders and docs she created.
I tried Mac Help but didn't find anything useful.

As BDAqua reported, you'll need SharePoints to add the iMac G4 Tiger Shared folder as a mount point.
When attempting to access her own volume on the iMac G4 Tiger from the MacBook Air running Leopard, is she attempting to connect as a guest user or as a registered user? If just clicking on the iMac icon in a Finder window's sidebar, it might be trying to allow login as a guest, not a registered user. Try connecting from Finder's menubar > Go > Connect to server (then enter afp://{networkname_of_imacG4}) or Go > Network (and doubleclick on iMac icon) and when prompted to save password to keychain, do so ‑‑ if no login password (to her account on the iMac) has been previously saved in her Keychain (on the MBA), it would restrict her to logging in as a guest.

10.3.9 server - files copied to shared folder don't have proper permissions

When 1 user copies a file to a shared volume the next user cannot save. The copied file is read only. If I choose the enclosing folder or whole volume and propagate permissions (Copy these privileges to enclosing items) then the file is read/write as it should be but the next file copied is read only.
This started when I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the system to a new drive. I know this isn't completely kosher but I done it successfully with this same system before.
This server is still Panther because it has been on for 4.5 years and has not crashed once. It provides AFP and nothing else.
This is a creative team that is kind of freaking out so any help would be greatly appreciated..

Sharing a folder does give others access to it, but it does not change the permissions of the files inside. Other users can probably read everything, but they can't modify files that they do not own unless the owner of those files has changed the permissions to allow it, or other steps have been taken to provide additional access such as the use of an Access Control List (ACL).
Apple doesn't include a GUI utility for manipulating ACLs, so your choices are to use a third-party utility such as TinkerTool System (not free) or the Terminal application. The Drop Box folder in your user's Public folder has an ACL entry that gives access to change just about everything on files that are dropped there, so a Terminal example that sets similar permissions for everyone (a particular user group can also be used) would be:
1. copy and paste the folowing into the Terminal window (there is a trailing space):
chmod -R +a "everyone allow list,add_file,search,delete,add_subdirectory,delete_child,chown,file_inherit,directory_inherit"
2. drag the desired folder into the Terminal window (this copies the path)
3. press return
Note that ACL entries only work on items that have been created in the folder - not moved there - so you should use option drag to make a new copy in the shared folder.

"...write access was not granted" - shared folder

Hi
When I try to save files (edited) to shared folder on another Mac - I get these errors:
"The disk copy of "file name" was changed since you last opened or saved it. Do you want to save anyway?" - yes
"Could not save "file name" because write access was not granted"
I'm working in Photoshop CS 6 (version 13.0.6 x 64) - System Yosemite on a iMac from 2014.
The shared folder is placed on a iMac from 2014, Yosemite. I have had Apple support on the shared folder - every thing is set correct.
I can see it's a common problem with Adobe Photoshop. Please send a link how to fix the problem or write the solution

I can see it's a common problem with Adobe Photoshop.
Or maybe it’s a common mistake on the user side.
Networks, removable media | Photoshop | CS4 and later
Anyway, this is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

Have to keep setting folder permissions on folders within a shared folder

My husband and I both have iMacs and had problems with permissions being set to read only for everyone but him on his iMac. The problem is within a shared folder named Butterflies on his iMac. In a previous question I posted I was told to set ACLs using terminal for all files and folders in the Butterflies folder which is within the documents folder on his computer.
This worked at the time but now the same problem is cropping up. He tried to run the same command on his computer (he is logged in as administrator) and the message comes up "unable to reset permissions" for each file in the Butterflies folder. We upgraded both computers to OS X 10.5.7 when it came out a while back but this started happening just yesterday. Is this some problem requiring an update we haven't installed yet?
Thanks in advance...
Kim

The important thing to remember with inherited ACLs is that new files must be newly created or copied into the folder hierarchy for them to properly inherit the new permissions. If you make a new folder on your Desktop, and then move it into your sharing folder by drag and drop, it won't inherit the ACL properly and will still be read-only for others. It you have existing files that you want in the share folder, hold down the option key while dragging them in. That will make new copies of them, and then you can delete the originals.
Also note that some apps (like Apple's TextEdit) will ignore the ACL if you try to directly save their files in the ACL folder. Save TextEdit files in a temporary location first, and then copy them in to the sharing folder.
Also, be aware that most backup programs will strip off ACLs from the backups if the ACLs were inherited from a parent folder. Apple's Disk Utility, Time Machine, Finder, etc all have this problem. If you use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to make backups then you can be sure that all your inherited ACLs are being copied properly.
I know these ACL limitations are irritating. I use inherited ACLs to share files between my wife's and my user accounts, and these limitations sure irritate me. I think that ACLs are poorly implemented in OS X. I hope and wish that ACL handling will be improved in future OS X releases.
