I've got a small server running Tiger where one of the drives is set to ignore permissions. People dump project folders in there, but in the occasional instance where they need to retrieve those folders, not all of the files within the folder copy across... particularly QuarkXpress files, but also occasionally image files, TIFs etc.

There's no warning or request to authorise, just a folder on someone's desktop with half of the components missing.

Setting permissions on those files for Others to Read and Write seems to do the trick, but I can't do that on a file by file basis. Shouldn't having the permissions ignored on that drive prevent this? What am I missing? All of this doesn't work the same way it all used to under Panther.

Would dearly appreciate some help with this, thanks... :eek:
