Where # is the number of your design team. The only people allowed to edit files in this directory are the owner, and the group if the permissions are set correctly.
If you type
ls -la(in unix) you will see who owns all the files in the directory, and what permissions you have. The general format is:
drwxrwxrwxThe first character tells you if it's a directory (d), linked file (l), or otherwise (-). The next three characters describe the owner's permissions. Read (r), write (w), and execute (x). The next three describe the permissions for the group, and the last three are for the world. If you create the file, you are considered the owner, and by default have read and write permission. You alone have the ability to allow the group or world access or change your file.
You will need to change the 'group' of the file so that other people in your group can edit it.
Here is the command (in UNIX):
chgrp design# <filename>Where # is the number of your group.
chmod ### <file or dir name>### should be:
| 770 | for design# group access for a | dir |
| 660 | file | |
| 775 | public read access (necessary for web material) | dir |
| 664 | file |
Thus, you can ftp your files into your directory, and then from a telnet window, set the group and permissions appropriately.
NOTE: If you try to edit a file in your group directory and
you are allowed to read but not allowed to write it, it may
be that permissions are not set properly. Additionally,
you may need to use following command in order to "log in"
to the group:
newgrp design#
(This usually isn't necessary, but it has been needed in
some cases.)
You can check who are members of a Unix group as follows. First,
add the following line to the ".cshrc" file in your Unix
directory:
alias nisg 'niscat group.org_dir.egr | grep \!*'
Then, type the command "source .cshrc" or restart your
shell session.
To use the group command, type "nisg
