Share folders trouble

Hi,
I have a few issues I do not comprehend re sharing issues.
In my LAN have both MACs and PCs. Now, I am confused with sharing folders on my MAC. What happens is the next.
When I enable "share" function by going to "get info" and then defining the privileges in the "sharing and permission" section to "read and write" for everyone, everything works fine for that folder and all the folders inside that root folder.
However, If I create a new folder within the folder I decided to share, by default it is only me who can read and write in that folder. This is very annoying as it appears that every time I create a folder I have to enable "read and write" for that folder in particular.
How can I achieve that all the subsequent folders in the shared root folder automatically became "read and write" upon their creation, whether I create them on my MAC or my PC?
Also, when I get to "get info" of different folders I can also see in the general section a tick box "shared folder". Why do I have that check box if I define sharing rules in the "sharing and permission" section? In my case although the "sharing and permission" privilege i set to everyone the check box is not checked.
And finally, sometimes in the "sharing and permission" section I have "me", "everyone" and "staff". Now, who is "staff"?
May thanks for enlightening me on these few issues.

Share folders

hello,
i want to share folders with my pc.
i opened the file sharing, but i only have access from my pc to the one folder not all the other subfolders inside.
Because i have a lot of subfolders i cannot share them all. is there an other way?
i also tried making my pc an administrative user, with no result.
thank you

HI, on the PC, make a new user same as the Mac's admin user, when signing into the Mac, use the Mac's admin username & PW.

Tools Manage Folders to share folders pitfall to watch out for

Just thought I would share something I learned today. In Discoverer Administration, you have a Manage Folders function, which you access by doing Tools > Manage Folders. This lets you assign a folder to multiple business areas. An obvious advantage of this is that you only have to bring in one copy of an Oracle table into the EUL. Joins, item classes, and hierarchies associated with the folder are also available to all business areas as well, which also sounds great. Except if you are exporting/importing individual business areas rather than the whole EUL. Then you can run into potential problems with the import. At McCarthy, we do not use the Oracle seeded business areas. We develop our own. We have a development environment we use to create business areas and workbooks. When ready for users to test, we "promote" the appropriate stuff (business area and/or workbook(s)) by exporting out of development and importing to the test instance. When users approve what is being worked on, we then "promote" to production, again via export/import of business area/workbook. In this kind of environment, sharing folders caused us to run into import errors, because of trying to reference folders and joins and item classes and stuff that did not exist yet in the instance we were promoting to (had been created in another business area originally). I logged a service request with Oracle support. Support's reply is that it is their suggestion to customers to import a new copy of an Oracle table into a new business area, rather than attempt to share folders, because of this potential pitfall. So just something to consider if you want to try and share folders among business areas.

Rod,
I agree. That is another option. But it still faces potential danger. Let's say I create business area A. I import Oracle tables into that business area, say for project expenditures, project master, and people master. I create a join between expenditures and project master and a join between expenditures and people master. I create an item class LOV called Project ID LOV and assign project id column from expenditures and project master folders to that item class. I create an item class called Person ID LOV and assign person id column from expenditures and people master folders to that item class. Now I create business area B. I bring in the Oracle table for assignments. I use Tools > Manage Folders to assign the people master folder to B and the projects folder also to B. That sharing brings both item class LOVs into business area B, as well as all existing joins for those 2 shared folders. In B I do want to use the Person ID LOV. If I export and import the people master folder, I should be okay, since I am not bringing the joins or item classes in - just the folder. Next I do want to export Person ID LOV. If I then try to import that Person ID LOV, I will get import error, because this item class is assigned to a column in a folder (expenditures folder in business area A) that I have not yet imported to the target instance. So I would have to know and manage that I need to export/import the Expenditures folder first before I export/import the item class I want. Trying to manage all of this seems like it would be a pain, in my mind. You and others may disagree. The simplest process seems to be to keep the business areas self contained (or independent - whatever you want to call it) and then you can export/import using the business area option without any issues (or none that we have run into yet). That was the way things were being done before I arrived and after Discoverer training, which covered the Tools > Manage Folders function, I talked the folks into trying to share folders rather than importing new "copies" (really, a new definition) for each new business area. The concept of sharing folders across business areas sure seemed like the smart way to go at the time. Oh well, live and learn. But certainly what you have suggested would be another way to handle this kind of situation - cannot argue that.

Problems accessing windows share folders with iMac joined to the domain

Hi,
Following the Apple Seminar (http://seminars.apple.com/seminarsonline/addamac/apple/index.html?s=300) I've joined an iMac (10.6.2) to a Windows Domain successfully and I can login with my windows account.
The problem arises when I try to mount a share folder. Mac ask me if I want to access as a guest or as a registered user, and it's really weird since the folder belongs to the windows user. It seems like Mac doesn't use the login account to access the share folders...

Team account, share "folders" across users

We have a team membership here at work and we are happy to see that the syncing is available at last!!
What we want to be able to do is share folders from one mac, and have them on another mac ready to edit and save?
Is this possible?
Can the admin group us together?
Or should I log in on three of the computers for the creative cloud only? Or does this infringe on the license agreement?

Hi,
Our Engineering team is working on the same and will be available very soon but as of now I can't give any ETA.

Understanding Share folders

Hi,
I don't know if I will be able to explain this right because I didn't capture the information I saw. I thought I saw a little old computer icon under my “share” menu, when I opened finder and I noticed this icon with a number underneath that I have never seen before I got scared because I’m not sharing any folders. The thing is that when I clicked on it at last only a few seconds and then it disappeared.
Any idea why was this icon there?
Is it possible that I have some sort of spy ware?
The only thing I was using is my 1password, I was syncing my 1password from my iPhone with the one on my laptop, could this be the reason why this icon appeared? The thing is that I did this a few times and it didn’t appear.
Can someone help me understand how share folders work and what could be the possible reason why I saw this icon?
Thanks a lot!

Thank you for your reply!
Well, the icon looked like an old computer with a number on the bottom, and as I said I didn't have too much time to see the icon since this appeared for a few seconds only.
The location where this appeared was... If you open finder on your left where you see your Devices, Places and the Search For folders.
It looks like this was not spyware, It was probably my iPhone or my wife's laptop, next time I will put more attention if this ever appears again.
Thanks a lot for your help!

How to alow non-default domain users to set share folders.

From Messanger Express, users who are in non-default domains cannot set any share folders, and only get an error message "You do not have permission for setting permission". However, Users in default domain can do it without any problem in same server[iMs5.2].
Is there any specific permission to allow non-default domain users to do it ?
If yes, how to give this permission to these users ?
Thanks & regards,
Takuto

In deed it is fix in the GA.Another way to set the alias table is to do it in the Admin client. If you add a connexion to a user there is a new 6.5 button "set alias" that allow you to set the default alias table for this specific user. But, it does not exit on a user group level.

Can someone help? Trying to share folders across my network-.

New to Mac after years of Windows use. I like to share my media across my network and no matter what I try I can't get my media players to recognize my Mac. This is what I have done so far. On the Mac I went to system preferences>sharing>I tick the "file sharing" window. I then drag my shared folder titled TV Shows and drop this folder into the shared folders pane> next, I see to the right users of this Mac. Here I see my name, system group, and everyone. I have set all privelages to read/write and highlight my name. Above this field I click options and click Share folders using SMB and directly below my name is checked. I also manually entered the mac ip address with the folder TV Shows in the source window of media player and still nothing. Just top check I restablished connection with my old W7PC and immediately all shares where visible.
Hopefully someone can help. FWIW... I also highlighted the folder TV Shows and clicked Get Info to ensure sharing was set and it is.
Thank you!

Is there no way to share folders with the rest of the Team, rather than file by file, link by link

Is there no way to share folders with the rest of the Team, rather than file by file, link by link, potentially hundreds of links for a folder containing graphics, html, css, etc for a web project?
Not quite sure what's the advantage of a team account - just seems like a bulk purchase of single accounts. As a team working in the cloud I'd expect to be able to collaborate on projects not a single file.

Folder sharing is not currently available.
The advantage of a Team account is not bulk purchase but being able to assign and remove Seats as needed by an Administrator who handles billing. With an Individual subscription the payment information is attached to each the individual.

Default File Permission not being inherited from parent Share folders

I'm having some trouble with file permissions
on one of my 10.4.7 file servers (running XServe).
New folders under Shared folders are not getting their
permissions from the parent folders.
Share permission is owner:rw,group:rw,everyone:none
but a new folder created below that becomes
owner:r+w,group:r,everyone:r
and the owner for the new folder is the user who
created it and not the admin (for the machine).
I have the default permission to set to inherit permission
from parent but that doesn't seem to be working.
I have couple other Xserve 10.4.7 file servers that
is behaving the way I want, with default permission
is being inherited from the parent folders, and I've compared them but cannot find any difference between
the two in their settings.
Thank you,
Tadashi

If you deny read and execute access for any parent folder, you've denied the ability to access its contents. The POSIX execute bit for folders is the switch that determines whether or not the folder's contents can be viewed, listed, or searched. If the contents are not enumerable, then it doesn't matter what their privileges are.
But be careful. Just not allowing execute for the POSIX owner, POSIX group or POSIX everyone else field may not be sufficient if you're using Effective Permissions. In this case, you'd want to inspect your ACL entries for the parent to ensure that the following controls were not in relevant ACL Allow entries: readextattr, readattr, readsecurity, list, and search. You could also create an ACL Deny entry which denies these five controls for the group or user you want to block out; but don't block the Everyone or Authenticated Users group because ACL Deny rules are evaluated in such a manner that they "subtract from" ACL Allow and POSIX permissions:
E <=> (P U A)\D
Effective Permissions (E) are logically equivalent to the union of (U) applicable POSIX permissions (P) and applicable ACL Allow entries (A), taking away (\) applicable ACL Deny entries (D).
Further, POSIX permissions, P are defined as P <=> (u xor g xor o); they are either the permissions of the owner (u), group (g), or everyone else (o) fields, but not any combination of the two or three.

10.9 unable to see share folders on 10.6.8

I have a mac mini running 10.6.8 being accessed via 10.9 iMac and I am unable to see certain shared folders.
I was checking on the Mac Mini an some folders have an extra space at the end of the filename. I remove the extra space, and now, I am able to see it on 10.9 iMac. I also notice that filename that contains "/" have the same issue.
I check on another computer running 10.8.5 and I can see all the folders that are list on the mac mini running 10.6.8.
Is this a common issue with 10.9 that it can't read "/" and an extra space at the end of a filename? Or is anybody else experiencing this issue?

Hey,
I have got a similar problem.
I use a NTFS-partition on OS X 10.9 and bootcamp.
I have had some folders on my shared NTFS harddisk with a "/" in the folders name. Example:"share/download".
Now all this folders disappeared and I can't see them anymore in OS. If I boot Windows via bootcamp, I can see the folders. The "/" is replaced with a ":", but the file location cannot be located and It is not possible to rename nor open nor anything.
For now all the data seems to be lost on OS and untouchable on windows...
I want my folders back!!
