553 Can't open that file: Permission denied

1

my apologies for posting the same story twice - i don’t readily know where the pundits are nowadays…
here goes:
hello, friends and neighbours in the rapidweavers realm,
curious thing happened yesterday. i designed a site for a client some three years ago. the url: nikolaus-frei.de 2 there is - going on the tab “vita” - a sub tab “audioreel”. last night the customer wrote me rather irate that the audio files did not work any more and indeed he was right :frowning: i went into my trusted rapidweaver 8.1 beta and started repairing things. upload started but stopped in the middle. i checked the whole shebang in “forklift” and stumbled upon a curious warning: “553 Can’t open that file: Permission denied” after having uploaded half of the files.
can anybody give me a clue what that is all about and how can change it so i can upload the rest of the files.
thanks muc,
tomas

Hi Tomas,

One way would be to Export your project to a local folder and then use Forklift to upload your project.

Also, you can often change permissions on a particular file or folder by selecting it and hitting Command+I (Get Info).

  • What file/folder is throwing up this 553 error?
  • What (octal) permission number does it currently have?
  • If it has something like 555, try 755, or 775 and see if either of those work.

Glad to help, Tomas,

Can you post what you did to make it work, so we can mark this as solved in case anyone else has a similar problem?

Thanks,

Marten

as advised and instructed i changed the occal nummer from 553 to 753 in forklift (you cannot do it on the desktop) and it worked! here is how i proceeded: i opened the folder with the files i wanted to insert into the resources of my project. mark one file click command+i, at the bootom of the window you’ll find on the right a window which says occal and has a number. change that numer and you’re ready to go!
cheers,
tomas
