Permission issue with 10.6

[VinylxScratches]

My hard drive crashed, all of my files were backed up on an external drive. I have put the files back on my new internal hard drive but I'm having permission issues.

When I use the terminal, I have to do Sudo to do anything otherwise I will get a permission denied error.

What does drwxr-xr-x"+" mean? I created the TEMP folder myself and I don't have the "+" there.

What can I do to fix this?

are you able to do a chmod 777?

this will allow you to read/write/execute

 

[VinylxScratches]

I am but it doesn't make a difference.

I'm pretty sure a + sign from GNU ls means there's an ACL applied to the file, but I wasn't aware that OS X used/supported ACLs. Is there a 'getfacl' command?

You should be able to fix the permissions with the GUI, go up one folder, and "Get Info" on the directory, then change the users accordingly, and apply to recursive.

Verify permissions with Disk Utility on the drive would probably fix this as well, but I'm not sure.

Ka0t1x: I tried doing the verify permissions but it doesn't do anything to this even though it finishes.

When I right click the 0 folder, I see a "You have custom access" and I see that I have read/write access but I can't rename "0". If I select the "0" folder and press the enter key, I get the you can't do that sound that OS X makes.

Nothingman: No command like that exists

No idea, but I fixed it by doing this command on the root folder "sudo chmod -R -N ThriceM"
