This may be the incorrect mailing list but maybe someone knows. All
I'm doing is copying a Xcode development directory from my computer
to another computer (with a different user name, etc.). Once on the
destination computer I can't run xcode b/c my file permissions are
screwed up. I use Finder, set all of the options to read & write and
apply to enclosed items. That still doesn't work. I then go into
the terminal and type "chmod -R 777 *" and that gets it to work.
Sometimes, I even do "chown -R me:mygroup *".
First question: why can't I do this through Finder ? and what do all
of the non-unix people do out there to solve this?
On the destination computer, after I've changed all of these
permissions, I try to copy the directory to a portable hard drive. I
get an error saying "One or more items can not be copied". All of my
permissions and owners seems correct. Does anyone know what is wrong
and how I can fix it?
Thank you,
Kevin
