that works to disallow non-owners from renaming the file, but what I wouldlike to do is disallow EVERYONE ( including the owner of the file ) fromediting, moving, or changing the filename once it is created. the only personwho should be able to make those changes is a special user.

I am desperately trying to recover two folders from a Freecom FSG 3 NAS. As far as I am aware it is running Linux 2.6 based on Snapgear. After working through the hardwares' recovery procedure a number of times, the state of the device appears to get worse and worse. So I have attempted to rescue the files by using a program called Putty to access the device over SSH.When I access the device using Putty I login as admin. The folders I need to recover are located in the home folder. Listing the contents of the directory I get...

I have setup my debian 8 web server.
For some reason I am having some issues with permissions of some images. They don't render because they are not set to 644. Now for some reason when I uploaded these files onto my shared hosting with cPanel the files work fine and permissions are fine. I can see there is a permission issue for the files locally on my Mac (OS X - El Capitan).
When I changes these locally on Mac the permissions go all weird and are prefixed with Custom, rather than mac-user-name: Read & Write, staff: Read, everyone: no access. then changes to custom: read & write etc. So then i tried changing permissions on web server see below and I get permission denied and after all the files are gone, i can't delete the images folder through SFTP or SSH. I changed back the image to 755 and tried deleting and still nothing. Not sure what the problem is. Before I chmod I checked that the images are set to the correct user and group as per the rest of the site.
So I try:
Code: Select alluser_name@debian:/var/www/html/_files$ chmod -R 644 images
and I get this return:
Code: Select allchmod: cannot access ‘images/box-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/ie-icon.svg’: Permission denied
chmod: cannot access ‘images/google-plus-icon.svg’: Permission denied

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.4 on an Intel machine. The machine also has Windows 7. So some of the partitions of the hard drive are Windows compatible (NTFS). They are all mounted when system is booted with Ubuntu and all files are accessible. However, when I try to change permission or limit access to a group, CHMOD command does not work. It doesn't return any error and everything seems to work fine but I can't change any permission.

I was wondering is there another way of renaming a file aside from using mv in linux?
For example changing /home/usr/blah.txt to something like -home-usr-blah.txt
the permission of 'renaming a file' is included in which right: 'read', 'write' or 'execute'

I've got some trouble while trying to install some applications on my linux system. It is said that the files in my /var/www/html/xxx directory, where I put them, is not writeable. The command chmod 777 xxx has been tried to make it work, but the error remains when I opened the applications again.
To be specific, I want to install phpFreeChat on my system, so I put those files in the /var/www/html/freechat directory, cd there and typed chmod 777 data/private, chmod 777 data/public on bash. Here's the result of list -al data:
drwxr-xr-x. 4 root root 4096 Jun 17 15:07 .
drwxr-xr-x. 13 root root 4096 Jun 17 15:22 ..
drwxrwxrwx. 2 root root 4096 Jun 17 15:07 private
drwxrwxrwx. 3 root root 4096 Jun 17 15:07 public
These all seemed all right to me, until I typed http://localhost/freechat in my browser. Here's the result:
phpFreeChat cannot be initialized,
please correct these errors:

I've hit a wall here; I'm attempting to find some way by which to view files and cd into directories on a device mounted read-only. So I need the permissions to read, write, execute (and the same with directories), but chmodding is out of the question because I don't want to alter the drive one iota.
I guess what I could do--what I was thinking of initially--was to dupe the whole drive and then mess with permissions. This wouldn't affect the original (actually I'm working on a duplicate of the original, but I'm treating it as if it were the original) but I was hoping for something that would maintain data integrity. This is a forensic application and not altering the data is very important.
I have a C-function that create a file and then make a copy in the same directory, but somethin is wrong with permission or owners.The program starts as root user.The file creates by the program:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 199680 Oct 18 10:58 test
Ok, but after copying the permission is not the same.The file after copying (with new name) by the program:
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 199680 Oct 18 10:58 test_copy
I want to have full permission of the copy, how to do??

I am trying to follow the instructions in the smb.conf file which says, "name original file smb.conf.master and create the "real" config file with test parm -s smb.conf.master >smb.conf".
First I made myself the owner of the smb.conf file. Then I tried to rename the smb.conf file to smb.conf.master. When I try to do this with: rename smb.conf smb.conf.master the result is: Bareword "smb" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.Bareword "conf" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1.

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.

What I am attempting to do is rename some television shows into the format that my PVR will understand for the naming convention. I have a script that cleans them up about 95%, now I just cant figure out the last little detail..
For example: NCIS_01.mkv
I think it can be done in sed, but I just figure out how. I need it to be renamed to: NCIS_s01e01.mkv
How can I make sed (or something else) match the last "_" and any numbers after it until the period and then insert text between them reliably?
Depending on the show, it can be something like: This_show_name_243.avi so I need it to be more flexible than I can figure out how to do..
