After sleepless nights I managed to make my Mac Book Pro (OS X 10.5.8) to communicate (meaning sharing assigned folders with full “read & write” privileges) with my PC (Windows 7 Ultimate).
However, there is one thing where I got stuck: When creating a new file the Mac automatically assigns the following “read & write” privileges to that file:
For “me”: read & write
For “staff”: read only
For “everyone”: read only
Therefore, when I save a new file in the Mac folder I assigned to be shared with the PC I can only read it from the PC, I cannot modify it. (From the Mac point of view the PC is “everyone”.) I can change afterwards the “read & write” privileges, but this means manually doing it after saving the file and it’s cumbersome. I can assign the whole shared folder to be “read & write” but this applies only retroactively; the new files still come into that folder with “read only” privileges for “everyone”.
I would like to be able to save a newly created document directly with “read & write” privileges for “staff” and (especially) “everyone” as well. Can anybody help me with this?
