File.copyTo (result): read-only files

Hello

Long story short: I want to copy the files in the directory 'active' of my project (i.e. File.applicationDirectory) in a folder where the user can modify these files (i.e. File.documentsDirectory).

I use File.copyTo () and it works fine, but the copied files are read-only and the user can modify.

For a temporary workaround I just read and write FileStream and ByteArray, files but I do not like this solution.

Any other ideas? This is the expected behavior of copyTo()? Is it possible to change the properties of the file (i.e. to change a read-only to writable file)?

Thank you.

I expect that be appropriate behavior because the file was read-only to the assets during conditioning. The permissions of files is a thing of OS, so you can listen to as you did of assets to the shared (instead of use copyTo) area or you can probably create a DONKEY to change permissions. If the files are small, the easiest would be to distribute the file as you said.

  • Program Files - read-only

    (It's using a Windows Vista computer)

    I have a game that allows (and encourages) amending providing game scripts that can be modified. However, my computer I cannot save the changes. The properties of the folder of the game continues to be 'Read only', despite trying to change this all the way to Program Files on each folder. I uncheck the read-only box, apply the changes, choose apply these changes to all subfolders, give my permission to administrator to continue... and it seems to work... until I got close the properties for this folder and open it again, to see that the file is always read-only in Windows.

    A way to work around this problem, or stop the folder properties to return?
    Thank you =)

    Hi Hyruslistic,
    I recommend you to run a SFC scan to check on your file system corruptions.

    follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally made programs, Accessories, right-click guest, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

      The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    Post back with the results please.

  • Impossible to delete some files on windows vista (read-only cannot be deselected, either)

    Right... excuse me for grammar mistakes, I'm Dutch. So there you go.

    I am a user of Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. I uninstalled World of Warcraft yesterday, and there are two files that I can't remove, no matter what I try. If I want to delete them, I first get this:

    http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/483/eerstdit.PNG

    Can I get something I can't print screen for a reason, telling me to give my permission as an administrator of the laptop. What I'm doing. Then, I get this:

    http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1054/endandit.PNG

    Remains and stays and stays (you get the picture), no matter how many times I click on 'Retry '. Of course, when I press cancel, it stops completely, and the files are still there.

    == Fun facts (or something like that) =.

    http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7725/mapwb.PNG

    None of the files are marked as "read-only":

    http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/6421/FileProperties.PNG

    But the plan is amrked as such... However, the name of the map can be changed. (As seen when I changed it to 'h' instead of 'World of Warcraft' to see if it would somehow effect). The names of the files, however, cannot.

    http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/9439/mapproperties.PNG

    When I try to change the map to 'no read-only', simply unchecking the box and try 'apply' or 'ok', I get the same response from the computer I get when I try to delete the files: no way I'll do .

    I tried to do since the mode without failure of the laptop with the same exact results. I am the only admin on the computer (in fact, I'm the only account outside the 'guest' one) and Yes, I am enrolled in the two-person-list, who is an administrator (which is strange in itself, because, as I said, the other account should not exist even) have the files.

    Of course I can't open the files, because the programs they were running with disappeared with uninstalling WoW.

    http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/5599/Openen.PNG

    And this is my story. If nobody here knows, suggestions to other places that they might know are also welcome.

    Try to use one of the following free products to remove the file/folder.  Unlocker to: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Miscellaneous/Unlocker.shtml or file Assassin http://www.malwarebytes.org/fileassassin.php (with or without forcing the deletion: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/12/27/force-delete-cannot-delete-locked-or-in-used-files-or-folders-with-fileassassin/). These programs often work when normal functions remove Vista not work correctly.

    If this does not work, it may be a permissions problem.  Try to give permission in their own right and also appropriate.  Here is information on how to do these two things:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

    If this does not work, try to reinstall WOW and then uninstall it with Revo http://www.snapfiles.com/reviews/revo-uninstaller/revouninstaller.html instead of using the option to uninstall Vista (Revo does a better job and can cope with these two files during the process).

    Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • File attributes can be changed from read-only on a global scale?

    I just finished using Easy Transfer from XP on a Win7 machine on another PC and find that almost ALL of my documents, spreadsheets and Access databases has been changed read-only.  I changed a couple of them to full access through the Properties menu, etc. and many prefer to be able to do on a global scale as I speak of hundreds of files that have been changed by this transfer.

    Is there a way to do this on all my files on my hard drive?

    Ronnie,

    It just seemed to me that all I really need to do is to find a way to change MY profile for equal to that of the admin. I did it just for a few files and these files are no longer read-only... !  I hesitate to change my system to an ADMIN login for security reasons.   I also changed the attributes of the lowest subfolder, then the above it and then I can open all of the files in these folders in r/w mode...

    So, is it possible to automate change the attributes of all files folder and subfolders?

    Fred615

    Hi Fred

    Yes, you must be connected to a Director profile.

    If all these files that you want to remove the read-only attribute on the D: drive, perform the following steps. Use these commands exactly as written, including spaces.

    1. open the elevated command prompt by using the profile administrator.

    The location should display C:\Windows\system32 >

    2 type cd\

    Press ENTER

    The location should now show C:\ >

    3. Type  D:

    Press ENTER

    4 location should now show D:\ >

    5 type attrib - r *. * /s /d

    Press ENTER

    This should remove the read-only attribute of all folders and files on that drive.

    Test and let us know the results.

  • Backup error ReadyNas DUO - «read only file system»

    Hello community,

    I hope you can help me with a problem I'm having with my ReadyNAS Duo (v1) running Raidiator 4.1.14. At night, it is running a backup job that copies a file from a computer on the local network to the NAS itself. What often happens is after a reboot for a while, things work sometimes days, sometimes weeks. But then I get e-mails warning that contains journal like entries:

    CP: cannot create the file ' / backup/projecten/./CAM_strip/01_v0.1.JPG': read-only file system

    Usually this warning is given for each file (which means thousands) so that emails are big enough. And obviously the backup has not been made. I tried to solve this problem and sought similar questions on this forum and on the web, but nothing helped. I can't identify what is the cause.

    Maybe you could help me the grace to some of the run settings, I can tinker too. I guess it has something to do with the ownership and rights to access these files and folders.

    Thank you!

    Hello Miss,

    Aside from trying StephenB and JennCs suggestions, if you create a test share, can you tell us if you will experience the same behavior in read-only?

    Forward to your response.

  • From El Capitan, a DMG image file is read only

    I have a Seagate external drive to Mac OS extended (journaled) format with 2 partitions. On a partition of the disk, I have an image DMG file which had read and write permissions to the title of Yosemite. Now with El Capitan, the file is read-only when I open it. But what is strange, is that when I do a "Get Info" on the queue image before I open it, it says I've read & write permission.  Then when I opened the image file, Get-Info gives me conflicting information:

    (1) it is said: "read only".

    (2) in the table, it is said to "user (me)" that permissions are "read & write".

    If I try to change the permissions (after unlocking the 'Get Info' dialog box), everything is gray and I can't make changes.

    I thought the problem was similar to:

    Re: external hard drive read it now after update of el capitan

    So I followed the 'solution' listed (used disk utility > first aid), no effect.

    I also downloaded the driver Seagate-fix, but this has no effect (which I expected since mine cannot be an NTFS problem...)

    Any help appreciated.

    JIm

    How is the Seagate HDD formatted?

    If she is still formatted as NTFS then it is very likely that your third party necessary for writing to NTFS software is obsolete. With the El Capitan, upgrading a number of packages NTFS should be updated in order to be able to write the formatted NTFS disks.

  • TDMS C DLL error 6210 file is read only

    I try to use VS2015 to extract the data from the TDMS files, but I get this error when I try to open the file.

    6210DDC_CannotWriteToReadOnlyFileThe file forwarded to the library is read only and cannot be changed.

    This happens in both DDC_OpenFile and DDC_OpenFileEx.

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (false \\server\share\file_path, "TDMS", &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (file_path, "TDMS", true, &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFileEx (file_path, "TDMS", 1, &file));))

    ddcChk (DDC_OpenFile (file_path, "TDMS", &file));))

    Is it possible to open only read files in VS or modify access VS before opening?

    The previous reviews were correct, using an old dll package does not work. For anyone who seeks the solution or how to configure tdms c dll in visual (VS 2015 here, Win32) studios:

    (1) take the new dll c since the above comment.

    (2) make a new empty win32 application project.

    (2) move the contents of \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\bin\32-bit in the working directory

    (3) move the \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\include file in the working directory

    (4) move the \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\dev\lib file in the working directory

    (5) content move/copy the code \c_dll_tdm\TDM C DLL\samples\readFile.c in your working directory/source file. (The variable length must be replaced by an unsigned int so that it works with c ++).

    (5) follow these instuctions here to include your working directory (step 7 +). Add the working directory to your source file properties, but the addition of the library to the project properties

    Has it done for me I can successfully open the TDMS files. Thank you for the help and a link to the new DLL! I hope this can help some people who are also new to VS.

    How to remove the read-only attribute from all files in a folder. I tried to use the properties and used the attrib command, but all I see is when I right click on the folder, selecting Properties, it shows once again

    I followed the forums, but I'm really confused. Can someone help me with this. Thanks in advance

    I would like to start by finding which file is read-only again. This is probably a file as well as a miniature file desktop.ini.  An easy way to find it is to go to the details view, turn on the column heading "Attributes" and search for all files with the attribute value "R":

Yesterday, I tried to move some files from my Win 7 to the NAS and I find that I can't copy on it. I can move my Win 7 7 NAS files.
