chmod 777

[uzumaki]

Hi Guys,

I'm having some issues exporting a file about of the var/home/ftp/pub. I'm using SFTP client software. I can retrieve all files but 1 particular file cannot, even if i use an INIT login.

have u guys used this command before chmod 777? Is this possible in CM? I think its possible but dont know which profile will it work, either init or craft. for sure dadmin cannot work.

If 'your' login is not the owner of the file you cannot do a chmod on it directly. You either have to be the owner of the file, in the same group, or root. If you do a 'll' (that's 2 lowercase L's) it will show your who the owner is and what the permissions are on all files in that directory. If you have a ton of file in there do a 'll | more' to go page by page. That's "2 lowercase L's space pipe space more".

EXAMPLE

Permissions # Owner Group    Size    Date/Time    Filename
-rw-r--r--  1 init  susers   684900  Nov 16 16:38 01.5.642.3-17475.tar.gz

Here is how the -rw-r--r-- breaks down

- is a file (d would be a directory)
rw- Owner has read and write permissions
r-- Group has read permissions
r-- Others (or world) has read permissions

paste the output of ls -l and tell us which file you cannot copy

Hi manfmmd/AvayaTier3

The owner of the file is the root login. Advised avaya to perform the chmod 777 on the file that i want and i can easily drag it already.

Thanks for this very helpful
