file share

I am on Yosemite - when I share files they come across as locked some people can't access my share folder - how can I fix this - I have done the normal things (sharing is turned on) Any help would be appreciated

Usual trigger here involves file or directory protections that are blocking the requested access.


There can be differences based on how the files are shared, too — AFP, SMB and NFS services have some details that differ....


You can Get Info these settings via the GUI, or you can launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities, and navigate to the files directly.


From the command line in Terminal.app, issue the following command for the files:


ls -ale@ /path/to/shared/file


for the directories


ls -aled@ /path/to/directory/

file share
