Read only folder, changing attribute

[Guest Bruce Leavitt]

I use netscape composer for ftp stuff,

having a problem. Because it needs to write to

a temp folder. I think I found the problem in that the netscape folder has

read only clicked.

I tried unclicking and applying but it does not stay?

I tried safe mode in admin mode with no luck

tried doing individual folders with no luck

when I click the apply, doesn't so anything

I know in previous versions it would sift the files

and folders and unlock them?

thanks

Bruce

That checkbox has nothing to do with whether the folder is read-only or

not and has no effect on the folder itself. Look elsewhere for your

problem, or describe it for the other users to help you.

Re: Read only folder, changing attribute

 

It use to be when I copied back from a disc to the hd that I had to change

the it from read only (the read only box has a green square not a check) or

I could not write to anything in the folder?

 

When I open composer and publish to the site, it comes back could not post

the file /Cl/docume~owner/locals~1/temp/nscomm40/tmp/tmp2/pub10.tmp because

fin.html: permission denied

 

You may not have permissions to write to this directory check the permission

and try again

 

that is a straight line after the C

Re: Read only folder, changing attribute

 

Then you need to take ownership of the folder so you do have permission

to write there. See Take Ownership of files or Folders in Help

or this link
