Web Server File Permissions

I'm trying to create a file using a Java class on a third-party web-server. However, everytime I try I get a permission denied exception. However, I am able to FTP to this directory. Does anybody know if this is something I can achieve in Java e.g. perhaps I need to authenticate the class to write in the directory?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

My guess is that Java2 security is active on that server. You would need to get a policy file set up there, which allows your class to write files in a certain directory.

Dreamweaver overriding server file permissions

We currently use Dreamweaver CS4, and for some reason sometimes when checking out a file, working on it, then checking it back in, it changes the permissions that that file originally had on the server.
Each folder on our server has a set of permissions tied to logins and the files in each folder inherit their permissions from there. However, sometimes dreamweaver decised to completely change the set of permissions that a file has on the server and disabling the inheritance of permissions entirely on said file. It seems that it changes the ownership of the file from Administrator to Contribute User, but whether this is the cause of the permission changes or a symptom, im not sure.
The oddest thing, however, is that it is far from consistant. It seems that the files that get affected by this are random and it dosn't always happen to the same file twice.
Has anyone else experienced this before or know what could possibly be causing this?
Thanks
-Nick

Just bumping this to see if anyone else has had any luck since i first posted. This issue appears to be happening on several people's computers so it's some conflict between dreamweaver and the server that's causing the bug to happen.
The server we're working on is running Windows Server 2008 with IIS7. Would there be any inherent permissioning conflicts that would explain this issue? If not, is there a way to have dreamweaver not touch permissions at all? Could this be an issue with the checkin/checkout system in dreamweaver?
Thanks for the help,

Applet can't read local file on web server, security issue!

There is any way to read/write files of web server through the applet except the Signed Applet.
If any idea the reply me soon.
Thanks in advance

Applets are downloaded from web servers and execute on the client machine.
Therefore they have no access to the web server file system, signed or not.
They could have access to the client file system (the machine where they run),
but for security reasons only signed applets have this privilege.
So to answer your question, you sign if you want to access client files.
To access web server files, you don't need to sign the applet, but you need
to provide some method of accessing files remotely, for instance:
- Files published for the web can be read using HTTP
- Files can be read or writen with the help of an FTP server on the same machine as the web server
- A servlet running on the HTTP server can collaborate with your applet to exchange files

Sun One Java web server 6.1 caching!

hi,
when a client browser access my site for the first time he download images from the server with
timestamp of the file last modified and an ETAG numeber.
the client browser cache the images file in his browser local cahce.
when the client browser open on the second time accessing my site, the browser will compare the last modifed
and ETAG of the image to see if the image in the browser local cache needs to be updated meaning downloaded.
what i want is that the client browser wont ask the web server if the image was change at any time and only using the browser local cache meaning disabling the last modifed and ETAG mechanisem OR setting a time expiriation on my web server files that the client browser will know to look for updates in a specifc time that i will define.
help will be most appreciated.
thanks in advanced

This is for 6.0, but I'm quite sure it hasn't changed to 6.1.
# Cache static content 1 month
<Object name="Cache" ppath="*/static/*.(js|css|gif|jpg|png)">
PathCheck fn="set-cache-control" control="max-age=2678400"
</Object>
Obviously, you will want to change the ppath to something that fits your needs. The age is defined in seconds, this example is set to 31 days, or perhaps 30...I don't remember. :)
To enable caching for everything, just put the PathCheck directive inside the default Object-tag like always. Or instead of ppath, you can use NameTrans assign-name directives. The important part is the PathCheck, up to you how to restrict it.

Tpc 2206 web server

OK, now I figured I would push the web service out to a touch panel. Unfortunately I can get the touch panel to load the web service. In max, you can right click on the system but the web configuration is disabled/greyed out....
I've loaded 2014 RTE, NI web services runtime, system config runtime, and web based config and montioring (essentially any additional installer that appeared to me "web" related. I didn't get anywhere.
I did dig down into the program files to the shared/ni webser folder and saw the web server files. Windows task manager shows the NiSystemWebServer service as stopped and I cannot restart it.
Is there a driver I'm missing, or does the tpc 2206 not support a web service?

Using the web service configuration in the build dialog, I can get the unsecured web services running, but the ssl fails to run correctly. Unfortunately, all I have to go on is error code 363507 on my pc program which says it cannot verify the authenticity of the server. Sooo, I would like to make sure that ssl is enabled and the port is valid (I've tried 10 other ports without success). Maybe its something with the certificate? Unfortunately the only location I know to create certificates is through the web based configuration which of course will not run.
I can go into windows services and see the ni system webserver is automatic, and it immediately closes once started. The application server is also automatic..... So I'm guessing these only run when my executable is running. I still can't open the web based system config when I'm running my executable.
I have the following on my tpc, and I still cannot open the web-based system configuration on the touch panel.
1. silverlight
2. 2014 lv rte
3. ni lv rte web server
4. max 14.0
5. ni network browser
6. ni system config run time
7. ni we based config and monitoring
Any ideas on how to get the web-based system config working?

Issue with permissions to upload files into Apache web server to OS 10.8.2

Hello everyone;
I setted up Apache web server and mysql to OS 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. It's working fine except for the permissions. I can't upload files into the web site directory. Doesn't recognize, e.g., the PHP function "move_uploaded".
One problem for my is that I can't modify the permissions by "Terminal" app since it telling me that the "Process completed" and I can't write any script.
Any suggestion will be welcome.
Thanks in advance.

My only question now would be how to speed up Safari's 6.0.1 performance in 10.8.2 or do I just accept that it's a little slower than it was, which is fine. Are other folks having this issue?
I was primarily passing along info about my particular download speed and for the Web Confidential 3.8 people: make a backup of your passwords b4 installing 10.8.2 or be prepared to upgrade.

Uploading Multiple Files from web client to web server

What am I doing wrong?
Is this philosphy correct?
Should the HttpURLConnection be to the target folder
and then create the file in it?

hello,
first here is my interpretation of your prob.
You have a client.From this client you are trying to upload files onto a server.
Finding the files and reading them on the client side is not a prob. The prob is storing them on the server side.
right?
If the above stated prob is right, here is a solution.
1. You have to first inform the server that you are sending the file. Unless you do so the server will not understand when you have started sending the file.
So, initially, the applet which you have written need to communicate with a servlet on the server side.
This can be done using reqs.. .get or post.In the req itself you can even send the name of the folder wherein you want to store the file you are going to transfer later on.
Next, after receiving the folder name, the servlet can now understand that next file data is going to be received.
The applet now sends the file which is received by the servlet and stored appropriately.
You need to explicitly write a servlet to receive a data into the file and then store the file into appropriate folder.

Contribute3 web server permissions?

Recently, our web host moved our website to a new server, and
we haven't been able to get Dreamweaver/Contribute working on the
new server.
When I try to manage the site, my Dreamweaver MX 2004
connects, but generates an error, indicating "Dreamweaver cannot
determine the remote server time. The Select Newer and Synchronize
commands will not be available."
Also, when trying to administer for Contribute in
Dreamweaver, Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 issues an error, "An
FTP error occurred - cannot put TMPzxd3jd3ivh.htm. Access denied.
The file may not exist, or there may be a permission problem."
What permissions to what directories are required? Are there
any downloadable instructions for installing Dreamweaver/Contribute
on the web server?
Any help GREATLY appreciated!

Have you searched the knowledge base thoroughly?
And the forum, have you searched the forum?
I remember a post about the moving of a website, and the
troubles being created on not moving the website in the correct
way. This way old admin settings and conn settings where giving
trouble...
I think there even was a subject in the help section of
Contribute about moving a website in the right manner.
I would advice to remove the administration as a whole and
create a new connection and administration.

OS X web server folder in Dropbox folder: correct permissions?

Hello,
I have purchased & installed OS X server. I want to run a local web server test environment, using static HTML and PHP pages.
Everyone on the (W)LAN should be able to access the test site served from this machine.
I do not want/need outside access to the LAN/server.
As a logged-in admin, I need to be able to access the files in the server directory.
The folder I'm serving the site from ("site") is a subfolder of my Dropbox folder: /users/MYACCOUNT/Dropbox/work/site/ . Dropbox (the application / service) should be able to uplad/sync the files in /work/site/, so I can e.g. see and edit them on an iOS device.
I cannot figure out how to set the access permissions correctly. Here's what I tried:
OS X Server (2.2.1) is running.
Server's Websites service is running and configured to use the "site" folder.
Looking at the Account list in OS X Server, I see that there is a user "World Wide Web Server" ("_www"), but it is disabled and doesn't belong to any group.
I changed the owner of "site" to "_www".
I tried changing access privileges to "site" for "Everyone" to Read, then to Write, then to No Access.
Yet all I get when I try to access the site is "403: forbidden".
The web server error log has many "Permission denied: /Users/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable" entries. There is no ".htaccess" files in "/Users/", and I don't understand why the web server would even look there.
What am I doing wrong?
Do I need to set privileges for the parent folders of "site", too?
And once I have figured out/set correct privileges for the "site" folder - do I have to apply it recursively to all files and subfolders in it?
Thanks a lot!

Hello Simon,
thank you - you pointed me in the right direction. The problem wasn't strictly Dropbox-related.
Obviously, the web server ("_www") really needs to see a .htaccess file in /Users/ to be happy. And as "_www" doesn't belong to the "Admins" Group, I had to change the permissions for /Users/ to 755 so it could access /Users/.htaccess (see here: http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/PcfgOpenfile ).
After that, I moved the actual website folder to /users/USER/Dropbox/somewhere/else/ . However, all folders and files I want to serve now need the same permission (755).
I don't think this approach is safe. It means that everyone on my local network now can go down that particular folder path and see/execute whatever is there, right?
What's a better approach so that only I and the web server can access these files? Should I add user "_www" to group "staff", so I can switch off access for everyone else?
Thanks!

FLV File does not play when published to my web server

Hi. I have created a short video in VC3 and selected the FLV option to create a web page. When I uploaded the entire file content to my web server (windows 2003 server hosted at Network Solutions) the FLV file will not play. Now... if I do the same with a WMV tile, the video plays.
You can view the file at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/va_education/VATutorials/index.htm
We have another video published in WMV format, although the video vs audio sync is out of wack at the moment, at
http://www.airforcehomeseller.com/videos/Energy%20Pricing%20101/index.htm
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi again
You should probably double-check to ensure the standard.js file was also copied in when the HTML page was imported. It should be there but it never hurts to double check.
You might also perform a double-check to ensure things ended up in the correct folder (if you are organizing your project into folders). It could be that you moved the HTML page into a different folder and orphaned the JavaScript file.
Cheers... Rick

File permissions when copied from server

When a user connects to a share and copies items to their own local desktop, should the permissions on the files stick with them once copied, or should the file permissions be inherited from the location they were copied to?
Server: OS X Server 10.5.x
Client: OS X 10.5.x

Try this you say you are not using ACL's
Good but wait for it
Enable ACL to the disk, Do not set ACL permissions
