I've added an FTP client to a batch publishing program that I wrote about a year ago. The batch program "publishes" CAD files from "Pro/E" to "eDrawings". Upon publishing, some of "eDrawings" files are automatically uploaded to an external server via the newly written FTP client.The publisher and FTP client are working great.I'd like to add functionality that automatically changes the permissions on the files I'm uploading to our unix server (RHEL5). When I do this via SSH, I simply utilize a chmod command (i.e. chmod 0755 file.htm).I'm using VB.Net's DirectCast in my FTP Client.Is it possible to change the permissions on the files I'm uploading via FTP once they're on the server as part of the file uploading process?
I've got two programs, one is the main and the other is the updater. So far iv'e got it so that the main program checks for an update by comparing its version number with the latest one that's stored as a text file on the server. If there's a newer one, the update program is started and the main one closed. The update program will then use a web browser component to navigate to the download link and download the new version. The only problem I'm having at the moment is, How can I get the new downloaded version to replace the current one in Program Files? and will this cause permission problems?
I tried searching for this issue but the search gives me a database exception and I'm kind of at my wit's end. I'm sureEver since I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional I've had constant build problems with VS 2008. I can't use the Hosting Process (not that I normally do) because at build I'll be notified VS could not copy a support file (the hosting exe). In addition, every time I build I'm told my previous exe is in use by another process and cannot be accessed. My only recourse is to manually delete the file. That works a few dozen times but eventually Windows stops letting me delete it and tells me that I require permission from an Administrator to make changes to the file (I'm the administrator, stupid machine).
i am working on an application called logonscreenchangerxp i made my program and when i run it on xp virtualmachine i get errors the program is made using vb 2008 and using .net framework 2.0 i am not able to get full permissions to modify boot.ini file and a regisrty value and to delete a file
I am using net 2010 net framework 2 & w7 In windows explorer I want to move or rename a file but I get a windows message with a heading "File Access Denied" you need administrator permission to do this In my vb code I want to move the same file but get an error, the security on the file is "Read & execute" and "Read" How do I detect this before the code for moving & also set the permissions so I can move it with vb code.
On an xp system using VB 2008 exprees, I'm trying to write code which will change a file's permisions when run from a non admin account. To do this I need to now how to run the code as an administrator. I've got the code to change permissions working, I just don't know how to run it with an administrator's credentials. The code is:
Imports System.IO Imports System.Security.AccessControl Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
m_ArchiveBoolean, m_HiddenBoolean, m_ReadOnlyBoolean, m_IndexedBoolean, m_CompressedBoolean are all form level booleans that's set from their appropriate Checkboxes on the form before this code runs in a BackgroundWorker.
Why is it that this code works: Try Dim fi As New FileInfo(element)
I'm trying to put together a simple "file search" app that lets the user specify where to look, what type of files to look for, what the minimum file size is, etc. (I know...sounds kinda like capabilities that already exist in Windows!). I'm running into "access" issues, even with directories that I wouldn't think I should have any trouble accessing.I'm doing something like this:
Dim f As New FileIOPermission(PermissionState.Unrestricted) f.AllLocalFiles = FileIOPermissionAccess.Read Try
I have been trying desperately to update a data base file (Microsoft Access file) through a DataGridView control. The form is very simple, containing only a button and the DataGridView control. Whenever I change anything on the DataGridView control and press the Update button, I get an error saying ""No value given for one or more parameters". Below there's a picture showing both my form and the whole code , along with the error message. In case it is not possible to update a data base file through a DataGridView control.
I have an application that is writing a comma separated values file. How would I go about altering the permissions of that file from .NET - for example to give read-only permissions to a particular active directory group?
My software uses a Microsoft Access .mdb file and text files for data storage. The program works great when debugging but when I install the program with Windows installer, the program gives as exception message that access is denied to read the mdb and the text files. What should I do?
I'm am developing a program for my computer and as I am using Windows 7 i have to execute it as admin every time I open my program. My IT teacher said I could set my program's permissions to 1, doing this the program would have admin privileges. But the thing is I don't know how to do it.
I'm trying to access a database (SQL Server 2008 express) using Visual Basic 2010 Express. First I got a permission error that was solved modifying the Database permissions. Now I get a new error message "This file is in use. Enter a new name .." I already have changed the Autoclose propertie to true, and also tried detaching the Database.
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, my string: Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL10_50.MSSQL10MSSQLDATAemplo1.mdf"; Integrated Security=True; Connect Timeout=30; User Instance=True
I would like to read the NT Security (Read, Write, List, Inherited, blah blah blah) permissions from a file. I already have some code, and can get the names and SIDs, but cant seem to figure out the actual access bits.
I would like to read the NT Security (Read, Write, List, Inherited, blah blah blah) permissions from a file. I already have some code, and can get the names and SIDs, but can�t seem to figure out the actual access bits. I have found how to SET them, but not read.
Here is what I have so far:
Code: Imports System Imports System.IO Imports System.Security
I want to grant read access to a file in a server folder for the group servernameusers. This code works fine to set it for a specific user account, [URL], but I want everyone (all users) to get the right to read the file.
Below is the part code I currently use to write to a file, Try Using sWriter As New IO.StreamWriter("C:Tmp.txt", False) sWriter.Write(m_Buffer.ToString) : sWriter.Flush() End Using Return True Catch ex As IOException End Try
But some time this results in error Access to the path 'C:Tmp.txt' is denied
My question is, Is there a safe way of detecting File access permissions, without handling exceptions, I mean if I can some how check before opening a file for any filehandle opened for it.

I'm writing and application that creates a home folder for a given user. I can set the permissions fine, but on some of the folders I need to remove a specific group/user, "Everyone" would be an example for one of the folders. I can make it so that they are denied from all the permissions on the folder, but I can't actually get the group/user remove.
Just tried to create a new Data Source in VB 2010, apparently I don't have permission to connect to the 'Login.mdf' file I recently created in SQL 2008. Does anyone here have any knowledge of how to surpass this problem? I'm the Administrator of my PC and have full permissions and UAC is turned off so that shouldn't be the problem either
Lets say we have an Access file in a well known path (i.e. "C:MyFolderMyFile.mdb"). That file does not have a primary key set on the table we are interested in . Is it possible to set one of the fields as a primary key (for example the "ID" field , which is also an AutoNumber data) ? And one more thing : I'd like to change the name of a field on that table . For example , lets say there is a field called "My Field 1" (note the space characters) and we want it to be renamed as "My_Field_1" . If it's possible , I'd like both these changes to be permanent in the data base file itself , not just in the imported DataSet ,
I've been struggling with this problem in VB.net for a while: whenever I try to access the My Documents, My video's or simular in Windows 7, I get an access denied error. The program that uses this code is a file-backup application, so it's important it can access everything. The app has admin rights, using this line:requestedExecutionLevel level="requireAdministrator" uiAccess="false" />
To confirm, I also get a nice UAC popup when starting.The app accesses the files twice. Once to calculate the file size, and once to actually copy the files. Here is the file-size calculation code (that I found online:) Function GetFolderSize(ByVal DirPath As String, ByVal includeSubFolders As Boolean) As Long
If I don't grant write permissions to the folder containing my exe file, I get an 'Access to the path binReleaseprogram.exe' is denied. But if I grant it write permission I don't get the error. Why would the executable need write permissions? I'm not writing anything to the root where it resides.
If I adjust permissions using the Security.Accesscontrol.DirectorySecurity on a directory, how can I make it so that subfolders automatically inherit the new permissions?
Brief overview of the situation is that my neighbors can't connect their Vista laptop to a shared folder on their computer running XP Home. They're getting access errors which I believe is because of the rights set on the folder. The problem is that XP Home won't let you adjust that and they're not upgrading.
I'm able to add the Everyone user to the directory I specify. But if I drag a new folder in or create a new folder, it does not have the Everyone user. Is there something I'm missing in this class that will let subfolders and files inherit the permissions?
I have various projects that use reflection to access and invoke private or internal members in some of the framework classes. These projects all work fine on my machine (running visual basic express 2008), but are they guaranteed to work on another machine, or, say, over a network? I've had a look at Reflection-Permission, but I'm not sure if I need that granting to me or if I grant it to my project!
I need to build an app that can create a network share and give it full read/write permissions to everyone. I have this code to create/delete network shares: [Code] But it only changes the NTFS permissions, not the share permissions. I'm running Windows 7 RC (64-bit) using Visual Basic 2008 Express. Does anyone have any ideas on how to change the share permissions, not ntfs?
The server response was: 5.5.1 Unrecognized command. p14sm1462998ybb.9I'm using AVAST, but I need a solution that will work for all anti-virus programs.In Avast, there is a setting to deactivate the shields for 10 minutes. With the shields down, my email sends successfully, but this leaves my computer with no protection for that 10 minutes
I'm creating an application that works with another I have no control over. My application needs to be able to create a user and change share permissions. Currently I am able to make a share, but I can't figure out how to set access permissions for that share.
The idea is that the newly created user (w/ password) will have permissions on the share I create.
