[LUNI] File Permission ProblemsFhealy at aol.com Fhealy at aol.comSat Jun 7 12:47:54 CDT 2003
I came across this problem recently and there is probably a simple solution to it. I built a new Linux file server running SAMBA that supports a network of windows clients. There is a directory (\public) that is designated to be shared by all users connecting with samba with a mapped P: drive. I created the directory and set permissions to 777. This directory contains two other directories (/TLCS and /TLCSAPPS) that contain a bunch of network applications. Unfortunately, I only have the capability to copy files our to Windows Workstations. When I copy the files and re-copy them back to the new file server, then end up as owned by whatever user I use for the transfer. Other users are then unable to use the network applications unless I manually reset the file permissions (a tedious process). The only thing that has so far occurred to be would be to copy the files into an archive on the linux system, copy the archive off to the Windows system, restore the archive to the new Linux system and open the archive to copy the files. Would this preserve the file permissions? Can you think of anything else? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
