Ubuntu :: Create A Folder Where You Can Copy Files To But You Can't Delete Them After?

Nov 24, 2010

i'm confronting atm. I need to create a folder where ppl can copy files and i need to be sure that those files cannot be deleted after they are copied there. The folder will be accessed over network, and i need to be sure no one will delete somebody else's files.Also i need to tell you that i'm working with regular users, so creating a folder for each user and chown/chmod-ing it won't do the trick(allready tried and ended up with a whole lot of files in the parent directory).I also tried chattr +a but that doesn't allow them to write new files in the folder.

Ubuntu :: Create Shell Script To Copy Contents Of A Shared Folder On A XP PC?

Apr 8, 2011

I was wondering if there would be a way for me to copy the contents of a shared folder that's running on an XP system using shell script. Actually, there are two shared folders that I want to do this with. I want to be able to launch the script and automatically copy all the contents of each folder into two separate folders on my ubuntu desktop. For example;

Lets say that I have Shared Folders A1 and A2 on my networked XP system and I have Folders B1 and B2 on my Ubuntu desktop. I want the script to automatically copy the contents of A1 into B1 and likewise for A2 and B2. During the copying, I want the script set up such that any pre-existing files in the B1 & B2 folders will automatically get overwritten by the ones copied from A1 & A2.Is there any possibilities of me achieving this?

Ubuntu :: Delete Files That Aren't On Another Folder

Feb 5, 2010

I've been organizing my pictures (i.e. deleting the bad ones). However, I've recently got hold of those same pictures on a higher resolution and I'd like to delete the same pictures of the higher resolutions.This means that I'll have two folders, High Res and Low Res. I'd go through all files in the High Res folder and I'll check if there's a file with the same name in the Low Res folder. If there is, the file in the High Res folder will be kept. Otherwise, I'll delete it.So I wanted some quick way to delete PIC1.JPG, PIC3.JPG and PIC4.JPG from the High Res folder.

General :: Making Script To Copy Files To Another Folder?

Jun 5, 2011

make a simple script to copy files from my "hfiles " directory to a "www" folder at leats I think its a directory, it has the permissions as "lrwxrwxrwx " but its like a public branch So I proceeded to make a file entittled MkPublic to copy the "hfiles" directory to the "www" branch

here is the code i used:

#!/bin/sh
# COPIES FILES
echo "copying files"

[code]....

when i try to run the script it tells me that there is a syntax error and an unexpected end of file and nothing seems to get copied anywhere so clearly there is something wrong with one im doing, i tried multiple ways : using the quotes, spacing the equal signs, but I seem to still get the same results.

Software :: Way To Automatically Copy Files Off Of A Cd To A Specific Folder?

Jun 24, 2011

What would be the best way to automatically copy all of the data off of a library of cds to a specific folder on the computer? I was thinking of running a bash script but I've run into a few snags figuring out the correct way to do it. Mainly due to the fact that the cd drive is mounted in a different folder in /media each time I insert a new diskAlso, the mounting and unmounting process causes it's own problems, but I think that could be covered by a for loop that checks /mtab every few seconds or so.

Programming :: Create/delete Temp/backup Files Through A Shell Script?

Dec 31, 2008

I have a shell script that need to create some files:

1) backup files of user passed in file ( that will be written by this shell ).

2) temp files that the shell will create and later delete/remove.

This shell script will be used from my local dir ( I am not a super or a sysadmin ). Users of this shell will call this script to run on their local files in their respective directories. When my script runs, it errors with the following:

cp: cannot create regular file `./listfile.txt.backup': Permission denied
/home/myUser/tools/myShellScript: line 12: listfile.txt: Permission denied

for the temp I was able to avoid this error by creating the temp file in the /tmp directory. All I want is for this shell script to run, create/modify/backup files in user's local dirs.

The user dir has the following permission:

drwxr-xr-x testDir

the file that needs to be backed-up has:

-rw-r--r-- listfile.txt.

Ubuntu :: Can't Create New Folder In System Files (not Even In Terminal)?

I don't seem to be able to create a new folder in my system files. I know I have to do this in the terminal as root, but I always get the answer that it cannot create the directory because there is no such file or directory. Yet the directory where I want to make the new folder definitely exists (I even just go there and try to create the folder)Here is the exact code:Code:lukas@lukas-VGN-FZ21E:/proc/asound/card0/pcm0p$ sudo mkdir ossmkdir: cannot create directory `oss': No such file or directory

Ubuntu :: Create Loop Which Is Contingent On Amount Of Files In Folder

Dec 25, 2010

I've read the documentation but can't figure it out. Let's say that I want to write a shell script which will rename every .jpg file in a folder to prepend "Linux_" to it.Challenge #1: how do I create a loop which is contingent on the amount of files in that folder Challenge #2: how do I know that file's respective name? I think it should look like this:

Loop /home/administrator/Images/*.jpg
(
Mv THATFILENAME Linux_THATFILENAME
)

Ubuntu Servers :: Samba - Access Folder To Delete Or Restore From The Recycle Bin Folder

Apr 24, 2010

I'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)

Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?

[Code]///
