Setting file permissions

I am trying to get wtorrent to work with my current folder hierarchy but I'm having trouble setting permissions for it. As far as I can tell wtorrent runs under user http and the files that it needs to access are owned by media:users.
I tried adding http to the users group and making sure i had read/write permissions to the folder i was targeting but when I try to have wtorrent write a file there I get an error saying that I cannot write there due to permissions. Thanks for any insight.
edit: wtorrent writes fine to /srv/http/wtorrent/torrents. ls -lh shows:
drwxrwxrwx 3 root root 4.0K Dec 30 02:02 torrents
If i set my new folder I want to use to either root:root or http:http, I still cant access it. Odd, I think I'll dig though some conf files.
EDIT: I may have stumbled across a ticket on the wtorrent website with a fix for this, so it could be entirely wtorrent to blame. Testing....
This problem appears to be much much deeper than I thought it would be. Its 3:30am and I cant see straight so im out.

I would like to know this as well. We'd like to use iTunesU for online music reserves but we can't post songs that students can download. This is one of the most crucial copyright issues regarding iTunesU, yet I can't seem to get an answer. One of the keys to fair use is that online media reserves do not provide a download mechanism.

How to set file permissions for SFTP uploaded file?

Hello,
is it possible to set file permissions with the SDK for files uploaded via SFTP transfer? I use the default sample plugin ftp_upload.lrdevplugin to transfer the files, but would like to tweak it to set the uploaded file(s) to permission 644 (rw-,r--,r--) on Linux server. Currently the server sets new file(s) by default to 600 (rw-,---,---).
I am looking for an option to do the "chmod" directly from Lightroom without doing any modificatios in general to default umask, etc. settings on the server. No real UI is needed for this. Just hardcoded setting for 644 in the .lua.
So far I've been unsuccesful in finding the way. Googled, read this forum, looked at the API. Maybe I just missed it, or does this functionality exist?
All advice is appreciated!
Cheers,
Timo

Niel's suggestion is good. You might also try posting your question in the Tiger Server forums. I'm sure Tiger Server has several ways of dealing with this.

Setting file permissions in java

Hi,
Iam uploading a file to a folder which exists on a unix machine.
Iam using struts FormFile to upload a file.
After uploading a file i observed that the permissions for the uploaded file are like this
rw_ r-- r--
for the owner it give read and write and for the rest only read permission.
But i want read and write permissions for all the three.
is there any way from java to change the permissions for a file on UNIX machine while uploading?
I know RunTime.exec() . But they mentioned that it runs as a separate process instead of a thread.
Can i use that? is there any problem by using RunTime..
is there any other way to set permissions for file in java?

You will have to use Runtime.exec(). Java doesn't allow you to set file permissions this specifically.

Otherwise, you might want to look at this:

Setting file permissions for 'wheel' group files

I have a bunch of files I copied from my PC when I made the transition to my Mac. I'm having problems moving or backing up many of the files apparently because the Mac has set the group for these files to 'wheel' and I'm not sure how to change them back. My efforts to chown or chgrp the files always result in "Operation not permitted" error messages.
I have been able to select a file at a time in the finder and use the get-info option to change the permissions, but I need to do this for thousands of files and it takes too long manually.

How do I set file permissions

I need to rename a file but am getting a file permission error. What can I do?

Thanks GerdW for the info.
Percy, if you are on the Windows platform, you could use the DOS command ATTRIB to set or remove permissions. Type "attrib/?" under DOS to see the usage.
Also see the attached code. Replace the "testfile.txt" to your file name and give an appropriate working directory. Hope this helps.

NMH405 - File permissions

Hi,
My NMH seems to have set file permissions on a folder which means i cant access the photo's (of my wedding of course!). I can move the photo's using the web interface, but i can't move them in windows or ubuntu. Windows says the speical permissions were set by Unix Root .
Now i am thinking there maybe a way to set these back using the alternative NMH405 interface (the non flash one) but i can't for the life of me find out how to access it. PLEASE help!

if i may ask, where are these locked files from (source)?
are all of your files on the Media Hub locked?
i found an article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo, i dont know if this might help.

File permissions in Java

Hi all,
I'm converting a python script to Java.
The script creates a directory with special file permissions, as seen below:
os.makedirs(options.file, 0777)
..Is there an equivalent way to set file permissions in Java (and would I need to bother what that..)?
/Best regards, H�kan Jacobsson - System developer in Sweden

Is there an equivalent way to set file permissions in JavaNot really. The File class allows you to set some permissions, but I don't think it lets you set the execute bit.
and would I need to bother what thatDepends entirely on why the original python programmer selected those options.

Changing WRP file permissions with a GPO

I would like to set my domain workstations so that users are not able to launch regedit.exe, only administrators. Is there a way to set file permissions with a GPO where TrustedInstaller is still the owner and the file permissions are TrustedInstaller defaults
minus users? As soon as I push these manually defined settings via GPO, it completely breaks regedit.exe, and I get an access denied when I try to run it (even as local administrator).
Is there another way to deny domain and local users from launching regedit.exe (or any other WRP file) and only allow SYSTEM and Administrators access through TrustedInstaller?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Is there another way to deny domain and local users from launching regedit.exe (or any other WRP file) and only allow SYSTEM and Administrators access through TrustedInstaller?
To achieve your goal, please enable this group policy Don't run specified Windows applications which is under User Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\System.
You can input “regedit.exe” within the group policy to prevent specific domain users from open regedit.exe. Those users will get a message as below when they trying to open regedit.exe:

How to set default file permissions for applicatio...

I have the nokia n86 and was wondering if there was any way of setting the file permissions of a program via the phone. To put it in context, i downloaded a program that edits photos but everytime i try to load a picture from my phone it asks me (for every single folder in my phone, not just the photo ones) if the program can open it. I can be there clicking yes all day as i there is a lot of folders and subfolders on the phone. I know sony ericssons had an option where you could select the programs permissions to always ask or never ask but i cant seem to find a similar option on the nokia.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Same issue here. Everything I put on the drive is set to Read-only for the group.

What do I do with this error message: To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly.

So I cannot even access the application. It was working fine yesterday and today I get this error message:
To use this library, make sure its file permissions are set correctly.
I have changed nothing. All the pictures are there on the computer. Help?!

Reboot. Close any programs which open at start-up. Run Disk Utility (you can type this in the Spotlight search field at the right end of your Menubar).
In Disk Utility, select your drive from the list on the left, and click "Repair Disk Permissions". This will take a few minutes, but should be less than ten.
Reboot.
Try to open your Library in Aperture. What happens?

Try this it worked for me Pat Willener gave it to me off the site :
I have not read all you wrote, so I may have missed some points. As I understand it, you installed FP 10 on IE7, but it won't play any Flash content?
Try this
download the FP uninstaller from http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
close all browser windows, then run the uninstaller
download the offline ActivX installer for Internet Explorer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe
