[HPADM] Re: Directory

Hi,

  I change the permissions on parent directory for 070 and 777 for
subdirectories. I export from subdirectories so on a remote machine I can
see and change the subdirectories but not on local machine.

Thanks for everybody,

Silvio

The ability to see a directory depends on the permissions of the parent
directory. The ability to see inside the directory depends on the directory
permissions. For example, as root:

mkdir /tmp/mydir
mkdir /tmp/mydir/nextdir
touch /tmp/mydir/nextdir/testfile
chmod 700 /tmp/mydir /tmp/mydir/nextdir
ll /tmp/mydir

Now change to an ordinary user:

su - ordinary_user
ll /tmp/mydir
mydir unreadable
ll /tmp/nextdir
/tmp/mydir/nextdir not found

Change the ownership to your application's owner so the app can read the
directories.
