Set numerous files and directories to 664 and 775

This is actually a Solaris 9 question:
I need to set numerous files/directories under a selected "branch" (directory) to 664 (files) and 775 (directories), recursively.
also need to ensure all files/directories created from then on are 664/775, respectively.
Thanks

I guess I wasn't clear...
The directory/file structure consists of multiple levels (subdirectories) and files in each of those subdirectories.
I can do a
chmod -R 775 whatever
this changes ALL files AND directories under directory: whatever to 755
I need to change all subdirectories to 775 and all files (non-directories) within those subdirectories to 664
Is there a way to indicate file or directory.. There does not appear to be an option using chmod..
Thanks

TS1559 I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and my button is still greyed out?

My wifi button has been greyed out ever since updating to iOS7, is there anyway to undo this update? I have tried resetting my network setting numerous times and it still doesnt work!! Any help?
Thanks.

You are correct. This is a very bad hardware error of the WiFi Chip on the Logic Board. The Chip malfunctioned or was previously damaged, but the initialization error was not detected until you Update/Restore the iPhone recently. The Problem was there, just not detected yet. The repair or replacement of the WiFi Chip is very difficult. Because Apple does not repair iPhone 4S, they only replace iPhone 4S, it costs $199.

Help Setting Up File and Web Server in OS 8.6

I have an OS 8.6 400mhz G3 B&W with 512mb RAM and an 80GB HD. It has the OEM operating system which is 8 on it. First I can't access the computer via afp from a Leopard Machine (Yes appletalk is enabled.). It gives me the error -36. Which is "The Finder can not complete the operation because some data in _____________ could not be read or written. I need this computer for a File and Web server. How could I make it accessible via AFP and FTP? I thought about linux but it requires a terminal like interface and I don't like that.

To begin with, have a look at the IV. Troubleshooting section of KB article 106461:
"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer."
Regarding servers: There is a built-in web server in Mac OS 8.6 (see the help system for details). Alternatively, the (now) free NetPresenz could perhaps be of interest.

File and Printer Sharing problem

Message Edited by bartman_60042 on 11-13-2007 05:47 AM

Oops...somehow submitted without any text.
My set-up: Linksys Cable Modem with Linksys Wireless Router. 2 Desktop Computers (Black and Grey) and 1 Laptop. Windows XP SP2 with all current upgrades on each.
While setting up File and Printer Sharing, I have the following:
1) The Black computer can file/printer share from both the Grey computer and Laptop.
2) The Grey computer can only file/printer share from the Laptop; not from the Black computer.
3) The Laptop can only file/printer share from the Grey computer; not from the Black computer.
All 3 computers were configured the same as far as I can tell. The only difference I notice is that the Black computer boots without the XP 'login' screen (no password required), could this be causing the problem? If this is the issue, how would I change the settings to 'login' to the Black computer? Any thing else which may be wrong?

Lenovo Thinkvantage Access Connections prevents Microsoft File and Printer Sharing

We have several Think pad laptops deployed in our company, including G41, T61, and T500 models. We are using Numara's Track It software to inventory our workstations and laptops. The auditing process needs to have Microsoft File and Printer Sharing turned on in order to work. We have enabled a group policy to set this to on by default. However, the Thinkavntage Access connections manager for the LAN connection overrides the GP and turns off the File and Printer Sharing by default. What's worse, with it off, we can't remotely manage the machine's services or even access the registry. We know that his is the issue, because reconfiguring the access connections manager to allow the file and printer sharing will allow all of our remote administration tools to work, insluding the inventory audit.
Does anyone know how to disable the access connection manager from running remotely? or does anyone know how to change the settings remotely to all for the microsoft file and printer sharing to be enabled by default. I would hate to have to visit each user individually just to turn off a setting.
anyone else run into headaches because of this "security feature"?
Jason

1.Find snetcfg.exe on internet
2.Create batch who runs snetcfg with this commnads from network locations
(this setting enable File and Printer Sharing)
snetcfg -u MS_Server
snetcfg -c s -i MS_Server
3. Deploy and run batch on laptops (GPO)
4. Deploy new AC profiles settings (.loa)

File and printer sharing using Airport Express, usb HP Deskjet 3620 printer

I have a general question, and other forum users might have a good resolution for it - but if not, here's what i'm dealing with..
I have an Airport Express that I bought a couple of years back, it has all the necessary firmware upgrades, i'm running 2 Windows XP boxes going through a combination of Ethernet on 1 directly to the 2 Wire Home Portal 2701HG-B, and I also have an additional Netgear WGR614 v7. All firmware upgrades on all devices is installed and functioning after reset.. I've tried using a combination of the Windows XP built-in networking software, Apple Airport Utility, as well as Bonjour to get things configured and working right over the network. I've also installed the AT&T software, one is running the Mcafee security suite, and mine (the Etnernet box) is running the diagnostic utility.
I've tried defaulting all the firewall settings in either/or/all routers i've tried setting the Airport up with, and there still seems to be problems getting file and printer sharing to work right on all computers, and still remain safe behind the firewall. All the network hardware is set up with wpa2/psk authentication, and appears to be configured correctly.
The only version of the Apple Airport Utility that will run successfully on the systems, is the original version that came on the CD with the Airport. Both systems are completely up-to-date from Windows update, and are both running XP service pack 3.
I know for a fact, that the Airport is working just fine, as I've troubleshot all possible known hardware issues with it individually, hooked up to 1 pc (with current updates installed and running). Wireless works fine, i'm actually running the Airport utility on my main system in the living room, that's hooked up hardwired to the router. Both systems get online and surf without a problem going through either/or router as well. I've also tried dissabling the Windows firewall on both systems, and trying to set up file and printer sharing manually using the wizard, and that don't seem to resolve the issues either. However, both systems (wheather hooked up networked, OR individually), have both been experiencing some odd "quirks". The Ethernet box i'm on, has overwritten my primary HD, as "Athena" and made it unusable. The wireless box, has been giving simular "boot-up" related errors as well. I've checked the Cmos/DOS settings on both, and performed the suggested "boot-up" priority related tasks, and both systems are still experiencing problems. The Mcafee suite is up-to-date, and has caught several potentially dangrous programs running on the wireless box, hooked up to the Airport Express, INCLUDING the bundled HP diagnostic software.. However file and printer sharing still remains elusive...
Are there any suggestions about settings to check on the devices, or in the computers, to make sure it's all configured correctly?

...Also file/printer sharing just flat out over the network is NOT a problem, as it's been configured before over ethernet through my Netgear router and file/printer sharing worked just fine.
The main problem seems to be in the Airport Express' settings, it will "get configured" and then lock me out of the utility to where I can't get back in..
The main Airport password has not been changed, and the wireless network encryption is the same for all wireless devices running on the network.
The main problem, just seems to be with the Airport.
Even the Home Portal has detected the Netgear router (unless it having my Netgear router saved in it's settings might be causing a conflict)... Suggestions?
I've contacted AT&T Home Networking for help already about the Home Portal, unfortunately they can not help me with other network related issues, since i'm not using the 2 wire wireless adapters offered by AT&T...

Determining audio files and corresponding slide # in Presenter

It is a big challenge to edit audio files. Presenter does not sequentially number audio files, they appear to be random. Which means you have to hunt and peck to find the correct audio file to edit for the appropriate slide. Any fix for this?

See, now we're getting somewhere!
When I wrote that line about having corresponding audio files after publishing (ex: a24x[some number].mp3), I was referencing the .mp3 files you get as a result of publishing the PPT deck using the Presenter plug in.
However, as you wrote:
"...Each of these mp3 files also has a corresponding *.lthmb file (for example 1088225537.mp3 has 1088225537.lthmb)..."
what you're looking at is the folder that Presenter creates the moment you start incorporating audio using the recording feature that Presenter offers (the same would be true if you imported audio files using Presenter as well.) And, as you have found out, trying to get a handle on which audio file goes w/ a particular slide is horrendous at best.
Okay, may I suggest another tactic?
Let's try this: Publish the PPT deck you have. What you'll end up with is a set of files and folders, but I want you to look for the data folder that's created as a result of the publishing process. (Unless you specify where you're publishing to, Presenter will publish to a directory called "My Adobe Presentations" by default, so you may have to look there on your harddrive) Inside the data folder will be a list of mp3 files, which, if everything goes smoothly, should make it much, much easier to see which audio is used by a specific slide.
Here's what I mean: for example, after publishing, I have a data folder and inside I found the following file: a24x9x3.mp3 As I double click the mp3 file (which causes it to play using Windows Media on my laptop), I can hear that it corresponds to my slide 9 in my PPT deck. And there's corresponding mp3 files for each and every slide I have in my deck. I'm clicking another file (wouldn't it be nice to see what I'm doing???) a24x20x3.mp3, and that file corresponds to my slide 20 content in PowerPoint.
So again, give publishing in PowerPoint a shot and see if that makes it any easier. Well...not nearly as easy as recording in Audition/Soundbooth/Audacity, but it's close enough to hopefully dig you out of that hole you're in now.

Set default directory and file permissions

I'm trying to use setfacl to set the default permissions for directories and files but I get an error saying "sudo: setfacl: command not found." What I am trying to do is share a specific directory on a local external drive connected by Thunderbolt. Everyone in the group has access to the drive and can view all the files but once a new file is created, the group permissions are not updated. Here is an example of two PDF file. The one created by userA only has permissions for that user where the file created by userB allows all users to open and modity the file.
-rw------- 1 userA staff 1988176 Feb 13 15:09 TestFile01.pdf
-rwxr-----+ 1 userB staff 1827102 Feb 13 15:05 TestFile02.pdf
0: group:MarketingGroup allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity
I can manually update the permissions through the Get Info window but this requires me to reset permissions every time a person saves a new file to the drive. There needs to be a way to do this automatically.
Here is what I tried but the setfacl command is not supported.
sudo setfacl -Rdm g:GroupName:rwx /DirectoryPath

Thanks Frank. I have an externat drive connected to my Mac via Thunderbolt. On this drive I have a specific directory that I'm shairing with Mac and PC users. I've created a group on the network to limit access to this directory to specific users. That works perfectly. The issue I'm having is when one of these users creates a new file in this directory or any of it's subdirectories, no one has permission to open or edit the file. Right now I'm using Get Info to modify the permissions of the folder and all enclosed items. When I check the permissions of the files I've "corrected" I notice this extra imformation "0: group:MarketingGroup allow read,write,append,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity." This is not included when I check the permissions of items saved by other uses in the group.
So my question is how do I set the default permissions for this directory so every new file and directory will have the correct permissions to allow anyone in this group full access to open and modify every file?
Thanks for your help!!!!

ESB: inbound file and outbound ftp adapter with multiple directories

Basically I want to scan directories and write new files ftp directories. I could figure out how to do that for one directory. However I need to scan multiple directories and ftp upload files contained in those directories to corresponding ftp directories. Number of directories and their names are only known at run time. All directories are under one parent directory, both locally and the remote ftp site. We can assume all ftp directories exist.
I could not figure out how to this. Is this possible at all? Directory names seem to be only specified at design time, for both inbound file adapters and outbound ftp adapters.
Pranab

Chris, I am not really sure this is the right place to ask this question. But hopefully you might have something in your armour to help me out.
My requirement is to configure an inbound File/FTP adapter to read from a Directory which can be known only at runtime. A webservice call returns the file name and network path of the file to be read, but that happens only during the run time. I guess one way possible is, you configure a File/FTP Adapter with a logical name for directory and set the physical directory path using the endpoint property. But in that case, I should know the Physical directory @ deployment time.
I would like to know whether it is possible to manipulate the Endpoint property of an ESB Service (SOAP Service/Routing Service/Adapter Service) during runtime.
So is there any way to get the enpoint property configured during runtime??? Otherwise dO you recommend some other solution for this use case???
Any help would be appreciated.

File Chooser is displaying names of the Files and Directories as boxes

Hi All,
Actually i am working on an application in which i have the requirement to internationalize the File Chooser in All Operating Systems. The application is working properly for all languages on MAC OS, but not working properly for the language Telugu on both the Ubuntu and Windows OS. The main problem is, when i try to open the File Chooser after setting the language to TELUGU all the labels and buttons in the File Chooser are properly internationalized but names of Files and directories in the File Chooser are displaying as boxes.
So please provide your suggestions to me.
Thanks in Advance
Uday.

Listing Files and Directories

On our internal web page we have some links to various areas
like Office Forms, Safety, etc... The supervisors that maintain
these documents have access to shares that allow them add, remove,
and update the files as needed. Since the content in each changes
fairly often we're currently using CFDIRECTORY with the LIST action
to display the contents to the users on the web page.
Some of the areas now contain quite a few documents and the
supervisors would like to be able to group their documents in
subdirectories. I know I can I can use RECURSE="yes" to have the
web page list the contents of these folders, but the supervisors
would like the end users to see the subdirectories as well so
things are less confusing and cluttered on both ends.
So is there any way in CF to set up these pages so that
subdirectories can can be navigated and the documents selected? If
possible, I'd like something that can handle this dynamically so
that I don't have to constantly change the code every time a
supervisor decides to add/remove a directory.
We're currently running CF8 Standard.
Thanks!

Pretty much what you got should do it. The simplest change
would be to
output entire directory structure on your current page, just
nesting the
files and directories.
I would just create a looping output that uses the fields of
the record
set to output the directories and the files with-in them
probably as a
nested set of <ul> unordered lists.
If you want to break up this user interface into distinct
units which
only list the contents of a current directory then just do
the output as
you have it without using recursion. But make the
sub-directory
listings links that when clicked repopulate the current page
listing the
contents of the selected directory.
Neither should take a great deal of rework to your current
interface.

JFileChooser - show files and directories only select directory

I need a JFileChooser that will display directories and zip files but only allow a directory to be selected.
basically i need to be able to select a certain directory that contains a certain zip file, so to make it easier to find i want the zip files to show up so i can find the correct directory...
I tried...
        JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser();
        jfc.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY);
        jfc.setFileFilter(new FileFilter() {
            public boolean accept(File f) {
                if (f.isDirectory()) {
                    return true;
                else if (f.getName().endsWith(".zip")) {
                    return true;
                return false;
            public String getDescription() {
                return "testing";
        });but that only displays directories in the GUI.
The javadoc for the setFileSelectionMode() says, "Sets the JFileChooser to allow the user to just select files, just select directories, or select both files and directories. The default is JFilesChooser.FILES_ONLY. " ....which makes you think that setting the file selection mode only alters what can be SELECTED...however it alters what is displayed as well.
...any ideas?
thanks

This should display the files of interest provided the filter is tuned to do so, and allow you to select either the file of interest or the folder... If you select the file, then folder it is contained is returned.
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser();
chooser.setCurrentDirectory(new java.io.File("."));
MyFileFilter filter = new MyFileFilter();
chooser.setFileFilter(filter);
chooser.setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.FILES_AND_DIRECTORIES);
int returnVal = chooser.showOpenDialog(this);
if (returnVal == JFileChooser.APPROVE_OPTION) {
System.out.println(chooser.getCurrentDirectory());
}

How do I set up my iPad for outlook files and folders

I want to see and use, on my iPad, the same files and folders I have in outlook on my PC. Also I want any changes I make on the PC or the iPad to sync with each other.
PC is running Windows 7,
Outlook version 2007, not the exchange version although I think I can get that by re-installing outlook and choosing that option.(I don't understand what exchange is but don't bother to explain it unless the solution requires using it)
I currently use Gmail for my email accounts server. They are set up as POP accounts with Outlook using a .PST data file. However, IMAP is available for Gmail. My brief past experience with IMAP and .OST data files was kind of a disaster so it isn't my 1st choice for this.
As I understand it using Outlook 365 with Microsoft's cloud and mobile app would solve my problem but I don't like clouds, 365 or IMAP (I may have to concede on some of those). If there is a way to do it through the Gmail accounts without any other cloud that would be ideal since they already have all my email and I won't be spreading my personal info to other companies.
I do have a Drop Box account but I currently only use it for some well vetted specific files that I share with specific individuals.
I do not have any computer or network drive that is always on and might serve as a private cloud. That could be changed but then i'm relying there being no ISP or power interruptions which, of course do occasionally happen.
Obviously I'm being rather picky here knowing that I'll probably have to live with some things less than ideal.
I will consider 3rd party apps if they seem to be part of the solution.
Thank you in advance for any person/s that want to help me on this.
hsvt

Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly.

How do I set up file sharing and keep my Firewall on?

When I turned my Firewall on, I lost the ability to share files and screens on my LAN. When I looked at the advanced settings, I saw that File Sharing, Screen Sharing and Web Sharing were already set to Allow incoming connections but other, related, services, AppleFileServer, httpd, kdc, netbiosd, and screensharingd were set to block incoming connections. I reset the latter to allow incoming connections but was still unable to access my computer from another. Once I turned off the Firewall, I was able to access file sharing and screensharing from another computer on my LAN.
I have a firewall built into my external router so I have some protection but I still feel uncomfortable with the Firewall on my computer turned off.
When my firewall is on even with setting up to allow incoming connections, there are lots of console messages like:
1/8/12 3:00:00.882 PM Firewall: Deny netbiosd data in from 192.168.1.2:51619 to port 137 proto=17
They go away as soon as I turn off the firewall.
I did not find the Apple technical article "Set firewall access for services and applications" at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh18503.html useful at all.
Any ideas as to what is wrong?

I normally have a Firewall enabled. I recently had to do an erase and install of Lion, followed by a one-by-one re-install of all of my software. One of the first things I did was to set up all of my System Preferences the way I like them; Turning the Firewall on was one of them. Later I noticed it was off and turned it on again. I had already set up sharing and was surprised to see the problem when I turned it back on.
As to why do I think it needs to be on. It is another part of my security layer.

Set numerous files and directories to 664 and 775
