Hey there, this is my first post. I plan to post this on the apple forums, but thanks to this place I was able to make the script.
There are recent issues with SL Server shares, where copying files back and forth between the shares and your computer will continually add ACL permissions to the files. Eventually the file system can not handle copying these files over to the shares and will break.
Apples solution is to use the terminal and CP to copy the files over. For most mac users this is a stupid solution. For me a very easy one. It makes me wonder why apple just didnt make a script like this.
The script is a drag and drop application. Drag the folder with the offending file or files onto the script. It will basically chmod -R -N the folder and remove the ACL permisssions. This will enable you to copy the files to the server. Until apple fixes this problem, which I suspect has been fixed in 10.6.8. You will eventually have to keep using this until the fix is applied, but this is much easier than using terminal with cp or chmod. I just sent this to a Graphics Design company I sysadmin for, tested it and works. My apple scripting isnt the best, and if it can be better, you more than welcome to fix it up.
Just wanted to thank this website for the great tips and info to help build this simple script.
