I don't know how to fix this command:
Code:
sudo chmod 700 *
when in the folder some files have the space character in the name. I have this error (sorry, italian version):
Code:
chmod: opzione non valida -- " "
translated is 'invalid option'. I have to chmod any single file with "", but it takes too much time...
I have set up a home server with ubuntu desktop since im new to this and need the gui. I have no problems with the lamp package or setting that up. My question is, can you setup a ftp server and then connect to it from a windows pc on the same network with a client like core ftp? I want to do this to add files and make chmod a little easier if possible.

The problem is everytime I upload a file through FTP into the server, the file changes permission even though I did chmod -R 755 www.

Is it possible, in Linux, to rename a file from something without spaces to something containing spaces? I know I can create directories and files with spaces by doing:
mkdir "new dir" and:
touch "new file.txt"
I want to rename files from:
imgp0882.jpg to something like:
20091231 1243 some topic.jpg
And how would it look in a shell script that uses parameters like:
for i in *.jpg do
rename "$i" "$somepath/$mydate $mytime $mytopic$extension"
?
I'm new to Linux (using PCLinuxOS 2009.2), coming from Windows, and I've written myself a little shell script to download files from my camera and then automatically rename them according to a date-and-topic pattern. As you can guess by now, I'm stuck on the bit about renaming. If you want to see my script, here's a copy. I'm not using jhead for this renaming because that only works with JPEG files but I want a single solution for any media format including videos.
i need an application or shell script that can identify all the directories and files in a certain directory and can rename them to remove any spaces in the filenames.anyone know of anything that can do this?

How do I access files with spaces from the command line?
for example I want to go to a file called "New File" and let's say is in Downloads/Books/(and here is the file)
how do I input the space since the command line doesn't recognize it?
*I'm using Ubuntu 10.10
My issue is I can't handle the files with spaces in their name, I've donde the below script to print each file found inside folder and subbfolders with "find".
I would like to "ls" to each file found with its complete path and with its basename too.
Code:
files=$(find . -type f)
for each in "$files"
do
ls -l "$each" # 1rst option I've tried to list with full path
ls -l "$(/bin/echo "$each")" # 2nd option I've tried to list with full path
ls -l "$(/bin/echo $(basename "$each"))" # 1nd option I've tried to list with it basename
[Code].....
How can I list "ls -l" in both cases (with full path and with basename) when there are files with spaces in their name?
I am using chmod(), function to set permissions for my files/directories.How can I set -R flag for it???
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a separate data partition on my F12 box with one dir for my children and subdirs for each of them. because they had no rw- rights and because they sometimes use one of the other logins to work for school I changed the permissions for their dir so that anyone has access. I used
Code:
# chmod -R 666 [their directory]
after that Nautilus displayed an empty folder even with 'show hidden files' on.however, with
Code:
ls -lh
on the dir and subdirs all the files seem to be present (luckily).

2. how do I get the files back using Nautilus?
I named a number of files with spaces in them, and I want to replace the space with "_". However, every time I write a command in the shell with the file name (eg "Spring 2011"), the shell doesn't recognize the file or directory. What can I do about this? Is there any way to use the unicode character for a space?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Qnap 219p NAS to which I have connected a USB external harddrive. I can access the external harddrive from my windows box using the network share, but at first i couldn't access the folders. The permissions set in the NAS GUI for the external drive is correct and are identical to the permissions set to the 2 internal drives.
I ssh'ed to the nas and used 'chmod -R 770 /share/external/sds1' - this granted me access to the folders, and some files. I can open all files in the root, but if I go just 2 folders 'deeper', i can't open the files in this folder, and in the folders after that.
In ssh, if i navigate to the folder wher I cannot open the files and use 'ls -l', i can see that the permissions (770) hasn't been applied to these files. How can I get chmod to apply the 770 permission to all files, folders, subfolders and files in subfolders etc., without having to chmod every folder one by one?
I got a folder that I transfer stuff to all the time. the folder is in chmod 775 but when i upload folders and files, they are given chmod 700, but i want it chmod 775 everytime i upload something. so far i have logged in to my linux computer and did a chmod -R 775 to the folder every time i uploaded something to it. is there a function somewhere to make it 775 everytime i upload or can i have something run a script, so i don't have to go in and write it everytime i upload something?

Code: chmod -R 666 *.rtf i've read help and the man page for chmod, and it seems that -R switch should make chmod work recursively, but it only alters files in the present working directory. could someone point out what i'm doing wrong?

I'm wondering if there is a command I can use in the directory that will automatically remove all the spaces from the filenames or better still, replace the spaces with hyphens or underscores?
