Re: > File Permission Ownership difference b/w FireFox and Vista

Hi,

You might want to ask the makers of Firefox if this can be done:

Greetings,

I have a network share setup b/w a Vista Ultimate x32 and XP
machines. Using the XP machine, I open the Vista hosted share but found
some files "missing", ie. even though they physically exist in the Vista
machine, I simply cannot see them from XP.

Turns out that these files are missing the EVERYONE in the File
Permissions (right click file, properties, security).

These are files downloaded using Firefox, and whether they are JPG,
AVI, TXT, DOC, XLS they are all missing the EVERYONE permission.

If I download the same files using Internet Explorer, the files get
created with the EVERYONE permission.

My current workarounds ... which none are desirable are this:

- Use Internet Explorer

- Add EVERYONE permission for each file manually (you have to do this
one by one, can't select multiple files and perform bulk operation)

- Use CMD line utilities like takeown and icacls

Note this is a secure home network, and while file sharing using
EVEYRONE isn't the safest way to do this, I can finetune this later. The
key problem at hand is what I've described above.

Appreciate any suggestions :) I'd be happy just to be able to get
FireFox create files with the full permissions, same way IE does.

Thanks, Excalibur
