Hello all:
I have a problem that has been driving me nuts here at the office. In my practice I have an iMac that my secretary uses that serves as a file sharing computer for everyone in the office. There are four other computers that get files from and save files to this one computer. The main folder we use is her home folder, in the public folder. There are two subfolders, one for forms and one for clients. Then there are subfolders under clients for letters of the alphabet and then client folders under that. This is a scheme that has served us well since way back in the DOS days, OS9 days and now we're into OSX.
The problem I have is with Ownership and Permissions. When my secretary creates forms, I have no problem with them being read only for everyone else. The clients files and folders are another matter. I want everyone to be able to read and write to these folders and files. I have used get info to change the permissions to read and write at the file level, at the subfolder level and at the client level, (and selected the button to apply to enclosed items) which works fine for the existing folders and files. But every time a new file or folder is created, it is read only for everyone other than the person who created it. It's driving me nuts having to change ownership and permissions for every file just as soon as its created. Is there a way to make these setting stick, or am I missing something.
