I'm on OS X and mount a network share from my Windows XP machine. Files by default have the rwx (700) permissions. What OS X option I need to change, that the files will have rw (600) permission?
Maybe this question also applies for Linux mounting a Windows network share.
I am accessing network drive (Z:stream) on windows. Now the permission set on stream folder is like chmod -R 777 streams/ means all the files inside stream is at 777 but now i am copying some files from windows to this streams folder but permission on those files are not 777 ,i would like to have permission 777 on those files that copied from windows ...how do i do that??

I get the following message when trying to access the workgroup:
Code: Example is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The list of servers for this workgroup is not currently available
Another strange thing is that if I set the workgroup to EXAMPLE in smb.conf, the workgroup shows up as Example on my windows clients.
Mount a Windows share where my user account has admin privileges. All permissions granted to the share on the windows pc side.Mount statement is as follows:sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=johndoe //winname/directoryname /mnt/tmp/Share mounts ok but does not let me create or write to an existing file. When I select Properties on the directory it says that permissions are unknown on the share looking at it from Ubuntu.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have mounted a iomega file system on a cetos os machine using
mount.cifs //filserver-ip/directory /home/my-home/mounted-file -o
user=username
(** mounted as root) The mounting works fine.
The problem arises when I try to create a sub-directory inside the mounted directory. All the newly created sub directories become write protected.
I am accessing this file system from R software and it needs to write/create directories in side this mounted directory.
how can newly created sub-directories will become automatically writable, so that R can create new sub-directories and write data inside those directories.
when i try to change permission for any file under mounted ntfs partitions (without any errors) it remains the same after changing.
#cat /etc/fstab
Quote:
/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda4 / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda1 /win/C ntfs-3g fmask=111,dmask=000 1 0

I am trying to mount Samba share with following command
Code:
mount.cifs //192.168.0.3/shmelevsky /mnt/tmp/ -o user=shmelevsky,uid=1000,gid=1000
it works fine, I could create/edit files and folders, bu I could not change permission for them:
Code:
root@darkstar:/mnt# chmod 700 tmp/www/
chmod: changing permissions of `tmp/www/': Permission denied
root@darkstar:/mnt#
the permission remains the same after changing it without any errors
# cat /etc/fstab

/dev/sda3 swap swap defaults 0 0

I have an ntfs partition that I wish to access as a normal user(non-root). For this I did the following. As root I created a folder /windows and did a chmod 777 -R on /windows. Then I added the following line to /etc/fstab
Code:
/dev/sda3 /windows ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,umask=000 1 0
Now, the partition is mounted alright but the problem is that when any other user (non-root) creates a files in /windows (say by executing touch newfile) the newly created file has the owner and group set as root. The non-root user can create the file and he can also delete the file, however, he cannot change the permissions of the file and also the owner:group is always set as root:root. How do I get across this problem, i.e. how do I mount a partition, so that a non-root user can also change the permissions and ownerships of the files he creates.
I'm having a problem changing permissions on a network share. The share is mounted on my server using cifs. It has been working perfectly for a week or more. I use a bash script to copy files from a temporary folder on the server to folders on my HTPC that are mounted on my server.The server is Ubuntu Server 10.04 and the HTPC is XBMC Live Dharma.
The problems began when I added chmod lines to my bash script to temporarily change permissions. I had the entire mounted share set to 777 on the server, and I was worried that I might accidentally delete the files or something, so I set it to 555 and then modified my script. This was not intended to be a permanent solution, but I wanted to use it as a band-aid solution until I figured out how to do it properly. The mounted folder is called "tabitha" and it is mounted in the home folder of the user "turvy" on the server.The script looks like this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
#chmod -R 777 /home/turvy/tabitha/hd2/TV

I'm using ubuntu 11.04, I'm having some problem of ownership while sharing folder/files. to share i change the folder share option:1. Share this folder, then followed by 2.allow others to create and delete files in this folder3. guest access.Now if someone in my local network edit any file and save it, it gets locked. if some one copy their file in this folder the permission is marked as "no group" "no owner". and they get unaccessible to me. i tried doing chown <user> <folder> but it says Operation not permitted. Now how i can possibly share my folder on local network so that they can be edited by others without getting locked down , if they copy files i can able to modify them.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIf I am not the file' owner or root, can I use chmod to change the file permission?
Assume I have group/write access to the file, e.g. 775
My cd /boot/grub/ shows (required only file shown): -r--r--r-- grub.cfg
I tried to change the permission of this via, chmod u+w grub.cfg but the file permission did not change why??
How can I change the file permission of grub.cfg?
I have a c file, and I want to open it but not in the terminal. After changing the permission, I tried: vi, pico, ed and vim. But, all open it in the terminal. How can I change the permission of that file to be opened and edited not in the terminal? When I change the permission from the terminal, it only let me edit it through the terminal, and when I check the permission of the file I see it as was it (no change). I need a permanent permission. Although, I command as a root.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just found that I could perform write operation using a normal user account to a file system I mounted with the commands as followed:
sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk/
This is the corresponding entry in the output of "mount" command:
/dev/sda1 on /mnt/disk type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096)
As far as I remember, when using a normal user account, I had to use "sudo" to perform any write operations (mkdir, rm, etc) to a device mounted using "sudo". But now it seems to be changed.
Do I remember wrong, or did Karmic have any updates change this setting? (I never manually changed user settings, except that I added a root user, but I never used it.)

behavior in 9.04:plugged in a disk, mounted it and it as readable to the world.this is intended because it is shared via samba.behavior in 10.04:the disks have 700, meaning, they are not readable by samba.this is a problem.this is the best solution I've found so far:http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-u.../msg10951.htmlexcept, that the mentioned means to fix this are gone.(gconf-editor -> ..., storage and preferences -> removable media)after 3 hours of googleing and reading I'm rather upset about this bug.so please, if you are thinking of suggesting fixed entries in the fstab or anything else that will not work with every media that is plugged into this box, just close this tab.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI automount two NTFS volumes on login. These display in both the desktop and the Unity launcher.
The first time I clicked one of them in the Unity launcher, it asked if I wanted to use Nautilus or Thunar. I chose Thunar.
Now, when I open the volumes in the Unity launcher, it always uses Thunar. When I open the volumes on my desktop, it always uses Nautilus.
Is there any way to standardize these, so that I use either Thunar or Nautilus, but not both? And how do I switch back and forth? Where can I reset the Unity launcher to use Nautilus again?
I'm having a some pretty weird problems with some mounted file share in Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS. Currently we are mounting several file share stored on a SLES Files Server onto our Ubuntu Web Servers using the CIFs protocol. Occasionally ( no rhyme or reason ) we will find that when you do a directory listing on the mounted share, while you are on the Ubuntu Server, there are no files being listed. Yet if you browse the SLES File Server or any other of the identical Ubuntu Servers (with the same mounts), the files are there ready to go.
Before using SLES for our file server we tried windows, and experience many of the problem you that you see on the forums of CIFs errors on the console screen. I'm beginning to wonder if 1. we can resolve the CIFs problems in Ubuntu 10, or do we need to down grad to Ubuntu 9 or 3.) change to something other than CIFs.
I have suddenly lost the desktop icon (of a hard drive) for a mounted network share. It is funny because, I have other network mounts which share the same server, and there icons are appearing, and this particular share just does not show up with the icon, even if I try mounting it different locations in the filesystem. Any ideas. I really like those cute icons on my desktop.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.4 [64bit] on a AMD dual core with 4gb of RAM. My Problem: I am mounting to a Windows share from my Ubuntu box and everything is working as expected however, when a file is added, deleted, or modified the Ubuntu File browser does not reflect that change until the next refresh. The Windows users with Explorer will reflect the change immediately and automatically.
Is there a way to make the Ubuntu File Browser respond like Explorer when mounting to a Windows share? I call this behavior "maintaining state".
