Not enough permission to write files on an FTP disk

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I connect to the FTP disk using MacFusion.The FTP server is a "FreeBox",
an ADSL modem from french ISP Free.
2. The disk appears on the desktop. I can navigate and see files on it. I
can download files from the server.
3. If i try to upload files, I get an error message saying I don't have
enough permissions to write on the disk.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to upload files on the FTP server.
I manage to do so using a FTP client (Transmit)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
MacOS X 10.4.10
latest version of MacFUSION and MACFUSE

Please provide any additional information below.
I don't know what kind of other info you may need. please feel free to ask.
I will provide you with as much as I can.

To begin with, try entering in the Extra Options (Advanced) field of your 
MacFusion favourite: 

-o defer_auth

Please, let us know whether that resolves the issue. 

-- 

If that option does not resolve the issue, it may be that the FTP service is 
imperfect (example: at 
<http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=177#c26> we have a box 
(DVICO) with an FTP 
service that's described by others as very instable; investigation revealed 
problems with the server's listing 
of files).

> latest version of MacFUSION and MACFUSE

Please specify, thanks - at various times we have found (away from the official 
sites) versions offered for 
download that are not the latest.

• Changed state: Started
• Added labels: Milestone-Release1.2, fs_ftp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

My MacFusion version is 1.2 Beta3 (1.1.268)
MacFuse : 0.4.0

Adding the option you sugested doesn't change anything :-(

I can't say for sure if the FTP servic eof my box is unstable, but I don't have 
any problem accessing it with 
Transmit, and writing files on it.

I've got the same problem with my Freebox : downlaod OK, upload denied (not 
enough permissions) 
MacFuse 1.0.0, MacFusion Version 1.2 Beta 3 (1.1.268), Mac OS X 10.4.10 Build 
8R2218.
When adding '-o defer_auth', the FTP server does not mount anymore

"MacFusion failed to mount Free:mount_fusefs: failed to mount 
/Volumes/Free@/dev/fuse0: socket is not 
connected"

to fthoulon 
(not to benjamin.rondeau):

Not the same; as you're using a different version of MacFUSE (not 0.4.0), you 
have a different situation (and hopefully, no problem). 

Please: 

1) read the MacFUSE options and FAQ at http://code.google.com/p/macfuse/

2) note that defer_auth is not applicable

3) if your problem persists, add a new issue to the list 
http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/list

benjamin.rondeau: 

If you'd like to provide information to help with debugging, edit your 
MacFusion Favourite for the affected 
connection: 

FTP Extra Options (Advanced) 
-o ftpfs_debug=3 -d -v 

Debug information will be written to 
~/Library/Logs/MacFusion.log

To view and copy from the log, use 

* Console utility 

* or the Log … option in the MacFusion menu.

I suggest pasting 

* to <http://pastie.textmate.org/>
-- select 'Plain text' from the pull down menu

* or to <http://pastebin.com/>.

Before sharing the debug log, it is advisable to obscure/remove your password 
and other sensitive 
information. 

Regards
Graham

I have left an instant message for the CurlFtpFS developer, no response yet, 
hopefully he will receive it later.

Symptoms are reminiscent of 
http://code.google.com/p/macfusion/issues/detail?id=115#c5 
a defining factor of which _may_ be that 

> xbox can only handle one ftp session at a time

Whether something similar is happening here, I'm not sure. 

benjamin.rondeau:  

* where Finder fails to copy a file, instead try using the cp command in 
Terminal. 

You'll probably find that the issue is limited to Finder. 

Original comment by grahampe...@gmail.com on 29 Oct 2007 at 5:02

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Using Terminal, please 

ls -al /Disque dur/Video/._johnny.mpeg

and let us know the directory listing for that particular file.

I installed 10.5, and MacFuse 1.0, andthe situation is now a little different.

When I want to upload a file, I am warned that I will perhaps have to give an 
admin login/password. I choose 
"OK".
There is then a second warning saying "the file xxxx.avi contains at least one 
element you don't have required 
reading permission. do you want to copy the files you're authorized to read ?"
(approx translation from french)

I choose "Continue" again, and I am then able to WRITE the file on the FTP disk.

It worked with a small file (5Mo). I will test is further

For the update, thank you. 

> I am warned that I will perhaps have to give an admin login/password

After the forewarning, does a password dialogue 
actually appear?

If so, which credentials do you enter: credentials for the FTP server, or for 
your Mac OS?

> I choose "Continue" again, and I am then able to WRITE the file on the FTP 
disk.

Ultimately, is the file that you have copied 
complete at the destination?

There may be some similarity between this MacFusion issue 248 
and more recent issue

Same configuration here : Freebox with an ftp server, Mac 10.5 with latest 
Macfuse and Macfusion.

The Freebox ftp server mount is OK : I have files access and can download on my 
Mac.
When I upload, I have :

1 - a dialog box warning I could have to give an admin login/password. I click 
"continue" but no password is 
asked.
2 - the upload start but very quickly an alert "You do not have enough 
permissions for some elements"

When I check back : only a part (a few kB) of the uploaded file is on the ftp 
server.

It seems that FreeBox may be unfriendly to Apple Finder. 

Incidentally, if FreeBox does not allow Finder to write 
._ dot underscore files then it's a little more complicated than "only the 
resource fork". For example, ._ files 
may occur normally whilst an un-forked file is being copied.

Exact same problem/config

I'm sorry but I don't really get the Fork problem (what does it mean..?)
 Is there a way to solve this problem? so finer and freebox can be friends again...

Original comment by giudicel...@gmail.com on 26 Nov 2007 at 2:37

Resource forks are not (should not be) a problem. 

Even if a file has no resource fork, some types of FTP server are incompatible 
with Apple Finder. See work in 
progress 
http://macfusion.makalumedia.com/trac/wiki/limits-curlftpfs

If (as someone suggests) "The FreeBox does not allow any resource forks or 
finder special file" then you 
may find that FreeBox is not friendly to Finder.

Thanks a lot for your answer Graham, i think I've got it now, well I assume the 
freebox doesn't like the periods (.)

That'is quite sad, I'll keep looking around..

Thanks a lot for your answer Graham, i think I've got it now, well I assume the 
freebox doesn't like the periods (.)
that the finder ads when copying (I understand now what is meant in the Issue 
255)

That'is quite sad, I'll keep looking around..

Thanks again

I've found a solution :
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301711
It's prevent to create a .DS_STORE on a network drive

Now macfusion work perfectly with the freeboxhd ftp

Hi,
I've got exactly the same issue with my freebox hd FTP server :
1 - a dialog box warning I could have to give an admin login/password. I click 
"continue" but no password is 
asked.
2 - the upload start but very quickly an alert "You do not have enough 
permissions for some elements"

I tried the "DSDontWriteNetworkStores true" solution but nothing has changed. 
Though, when I typed in " defaults read com.apple.desktopservices 
DSDontWriteNetworkStores " I got indeed " true "...

If someone find a solution to this problem, it would be great!

I have the same issue with my hosted FTP account. It works fine with NetDrive 
on my
Windows XP box, but with MacFusion (and the same credentials) it always says 
"The
operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for 
some
of the items".

Using MacFusion 2.0.3 on MacBook Pro.
