o, incredibly simple problem that I am having a terrible time finding an answer to. I am trying to setup a program in Fedora to be redirected to a folder in my 64-bit Window$ partition, however I am not sure how to tell Terminal that it has a "(" and ")" in the path name.
The exact path in standard value is as follows: "/media/12842F85842F6A85/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps" What SHOULD this look like in Terminal?
Loving my new Fedora system and the steady march towards making a MS free house but I have a problem. I need to be able to connect to my company server via VPN and then initiate a terminal server connection. Two clicks on XP but I have no idea what to use now. As soon as I have this down I can remove my XP partition forever as I have everything else I need daily working like a charm.

View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to access remote mount points that were created within the "Places" dropdown or within Nautilus? I haven't been able to locate a mount point for these.
I know I can create a mount point using fstab that will solve my problem but I was hoping for something using these automount procedures as it's really clean.
I just want a way to access these remote shares via terminal when created within Gnome.
I'm using an external USB Iomega Rev 70GB HDD. (Have been for a few years). It uses UDF format for higher transfer speeds of large files. (This is not an option, & not changeable), therefore natively recognised since 2.6.20, I think. (But no official Linux support).
Occasionally though, I run into problems such as can't format a disk in Linux, need to boot to Wins to do it. Also like today: So I have a bunch of comic pdfs & cbrs on it, mix of .rar files & folders. They were there yesterday. Today I went to read something and I couldn't see them. Thought maybe I'd deleted it by accident, but no. Looked at the drive in terminal and I can see the "missing" files and folders fine, but can't see them in Nautilus to open in Comix.
-Tried setting all permissions on the whole drive to R/W/E through Nautilus.
-Files & Folders aren't hidden.
-Tried rebooting.
-Tried using Administrator Nautilus.
-Thought it might be a re-emergence of the recent Nautilus Preview bug, so swiched File Preview off.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo I gave the following permission using sudo su to some directories:
sudo a+x -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/*
sudo a+w -R ~/<SOME FOLDER>/*
After doing this, I can access write and read all directories but my terminal shows these folders highlighted and I really dont like this. Is there any way they can look like before (with no highlights)?
Is it possible to restrict users to their home directories and allow admins to have different home directories? Essentially I want users to have a folder in /var/www/html/$USER and admins to have either unrestricted access or have their root directory be ./ or /www or /etc. I have is set now so users have access to thier home direcotry but I need to upload web files as admin.
So far I have created:
chroot_list
user_list
[code]....
The directories
/home/<user_name>/.Trash
and
/root/.Trash
do not exist.
I've tried viewing hidden directories with nautilus and using "cd" in terminal. "locate" is equally useless.
Over SSH when I do a "ls" command, I see some directories with a green background and blue text. What does this mean?I think it's related to a problem I'm having. I have the directories shared over the network. I'm the owner of all the directories but when I tried to move one of the colored directories to a different location (over the share from MacOSX) I got a generic "access denied" error.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI want to make a webserver with multiple users allowed to login through SFTP to a specific folder, www.Multiple users are added, lets say user1 and user2, and all of them belonging to the www-data group. The www directory has an owner www-data and a group www-data.
I have used chmod -R 775 on the www folder, but after I try to create a folder test through my SFTP server (using Filezilla) the group of the directory created has only r and x permissions, and I am not able to log in with the second user user2 and create a directory within www/test due to a lack of w permission to the group.
I also tried using chmod 2775 on www directory, but without luck. Can somebody explain to me, how can I make it so that a newly created directory inherits the root directory group permissions?

I am noticing problems accessing the firewall gui and mounting the second hard drive in my PC running Fedora 13. This is only when I am accessing the machine with VNC. If I am sitting in front of the physical machine, I have no problems at all. I would like VNC to behave more like I am sitting in front of the computer. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

I installed Ubuntu recently and had a similar problem, only mine was that my computer was competing with hers (something to do with DHCP). The solution was to alter my /etc/network/interfaces file, but I also screwed with settings in the "Network Connections" thing, pretty much altering a connection my /etc/network/interfaces file seemed to have made. My problem was only solved as far as I cared. I wonder if this is the same problem.
On the other hand, we attempted connecting the Fedora box directly to a modem and still no internet, so I believe they are entirely unrelated. But I wanted to include this for completeness in case they are.
