PHP permission handling...

Hey, so I'm trying to make a PHP image upload form. I've been able to successfully pull this off, but only by making the permissions of the folder I'm uploading to 777, or read/write/execute. Methinks this isn't such a good idea on the big wide intarwebs. I'm using 000webhost, which is apparently crappy, but its also apparently the best ...

Sql Server: How to Deny users access to linked servers

I'd like to deny access to query linked servers to a group of users. I've put them in a role and assigned certain permissions to object level permissions to the that group. I'm at a loss after searching BOL and 'net how to DENY access to linked servers. EDIT: I decided to break out profiler to verify exactly what SSMS is calling when d...

While trying to send form with image field in it I'm getting : Exception Type: OSError at /user/register/ Exception Value: (13, 'Permission denied') Of course first thing I've checked were the permissions to my folders, and just in case set them to 777 on the whole path from '/'.

Running shell script from PHP as different (non root) user

I'm trying to run a shell script owned by a non-privileged user from PHP on an Ubuntu server. Issues with permissions make running it with exec() impractical, as it's www-data that's running it. I've googled a bit and found varius references to suExec (which seems too much of a hassle to get working for such a small problem), setting the...

copy a file and change its permissions in Linux with C

I copy a file by opening the source in read-only mode and the destination in write-only mode. It's simple and it works. The problem is that sometimes I am copying a file that sits on an NFS drive, or other network drives and when in these cases the permissions get all screwed and SELinux complains. I then go and manually set the permiss...

Check if user has write permission in "Program Files"

I need to check whether the current user has write permissions inside the Program Files folder.

ASP.NET file system permissions

Hi, I always thought the user running the app pool was used to, for instance, access the file system when an application is trying to write a file.

How do you deal with file ownership in git?

I'm working on an embedded Linux project. Our build process makes an image that gets flashed to a device. Many of our files require root ownership for the system to work correctly.
