issue: You do not have permission to create archive in this folder
Hi
I tried with trisquel GuI to create an archive.. but I get follow error whatever folder I try.
Could not create the archive
You do not have permission to create archive in this folder
Thank you
What folder? What are the permission (right click on the folder, then "Properties", then the "Permissions" tab)?
When I right on any folder, I cannot see the permissions.. the permission could not be determined...its the message I see.
It would be great shortcut to use right click one one folder and compress... but I have this permission issue.
I noticed if I open compress software and I try to create an archive inside software... I have no permission issue inside compress software in gui menu
Thank you
If you can't see the directory/folder permissions, then the owner of the
directory/folder didn't give you *execution* permission in that
directory/folder. To see if this is the case, do as follows:
* Friendly way (using Nautilus, the default file manager)
1. Right-click on the directory/file.
2. Click on Properties.
3. Click on Permissions.
4. See if the "Access" of the owner is set to "list, create/delete, not
access".
5. If (4) is set as I mentioned: See if owner is marked as being
yourself.
6. If you are the owner, change the owner's access to "Create and delete
files". This should fix the problem for the directory/folder itself
--- for it's contents, you might need to do the same, or click on the
"Change permissions of the files contained in the directory/folder"
button, or change each of the problematic ones individually.
* Alternative way (using GNU Bash, the default terminal shell)
1. Open GNU Bash in GNOME Terminal (if I remember correctly, the default
shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + T, but I might be mistaken).
2. Do: stat "[Path to problematic directory/folder, without these brackets.]"
3. See if "Access" has somethin like "(???? / ? ??- ??? ???)" --- where
"?" is any letter/number/minus, and please remove the spaces in the
example given, they are there for readability purposes.
4. If (3) is true, then let's attempt to change this directly, by doing: chmod u+x "[Path to problematic directory/folder, without these brackets.]"
- This assumes that you are the owner of that directory, *and* has
write permissions (lowercase W) to that directory.
- Ownership and permissions can be seen by using GNU `stat`.
