Read Only Files

JBUDLARWOOD
I have been moving files from the network PCs to the Server and all the files tell me they are read only. I have went threw all the permissions and securities and I even tried the Microsoft attribute change and still the files read "read only" when anyone tries to access the files threw the network. Any suggestions? It's driving me nuts!!!!!!!!

What are the user's permissions on the directory? Do they all have write access? If they are accessing them through IIS do you have IIS permissions set up properly so that they can write to that file?

Wow, I never thought I would see the day. But in any event, if you have some time I wonder if you might be willing to look at this thread, to provide your input.

Would have seen this sooner, but you put it in the Articles section. I'll have a look in a bit.

Will a Misc. Q.s moderator please move this to the Windows Forum?
Or JBUDLARWOOD may repost there and I'll merge the two if/when this one does get moved.

Thanks for the heads-up. I usually get around to checking Misc. Q.s (get it miss queues?) about once a day. I'm a little slow on the draw lately as I have many pokers in the fire. I look forward to that thread being moved here or the OP's repost here.

Thanks, again, RedSon.

Some helpful information that you could give us:
Server OS
Domain or Simple File Sharing?
Etc.

One thing to note: It is perfectly normal for folders to show up as Read-only in the Properties dialog box. It does not mean that the files therein are not writable.

It still sounds like a security issue. The users trying to access those files files have the incorrect credentials.

It may be a server setting.

For example, Visual Studio.NET. When you create a project on a network drive, things are OK. You can create and edit your source files. But whn you click Build, Visual Studio.NET crashes on your PC. The reason: a file was created on the network drive (a .rsp file) that contains the keyboard strokes required to start the build. This file is accessed on a different thread and this access is denied by the server. The server admin can fix this but I had one client where the admin refused.

Look at your server settings closely.

Hello JBUDLARWOOD. Perhaps you missed replies taking place in your previous thread. In that thread, you would have found that Misc. Q.s is not the proper Forum for this question. In any case, what you have done here is referred to as "double posting" which is highly discouraged under this site's Posting Guidelines.

Thank you for taking a little time to familiarize yourself with the Posting Guidelines.

Thank you. Now, perhaps JBUDLARWOOD will see the importance of following the Posting Guidelines, in order to prevent threads from becoming so convoluted.
