System Access System Access I'm a Windows user. I have created a file in my web directory. Why do I get an "Access is denied" error message when I try to modify it? Login [Modified Thursday, Sep 12th 2013 by claude] To prevent users from viewing other users' files, web directories are protected by giving file ownership to "null-web". To deal with this issue, a UNIX tool has been developed, which grants write permission to the files inside the protected directories. The user must log on to the server login.encs.concordia.ca and run the command: fix_protected_webdir_perms If no path is given as parameter, the tool will search all nul-web directories in the user's web directory and change the file(s) permission. This tool comes with a man page, so please refer to it for usage by running the following command: man fix_protected_webdir_perms
