I made a backup copy of a 1TB hard drive on a new, clean 1TB hard drive (let's call it Drive B) a few days ago. No hassles, no problems.

Today, 5/17/2018, I went to move some files from Drive B into my laptop to do a little work on them. These files were in a folder on the first drive:

Past Years/2016/Previous Months/08/27/shows

After I made the corrections I saved the files back to the SAME folder. Later, I went back in to check them and saw that the dates of ALL the files in that folder--including the ones I never touched when I worked on the few that I did--showed the date information as: Date Created 5/17/18.

What the heck is going on here?

How does the date get changed on files like this? This makes replacing some files with the same name a really confuding task!!!

Application for enabling users to move files with paths and permissions.

I am managing a large traditional file store seen by users as a mapped drive.

This has grown huge and has been a dumping group for data for a decade. What I want to do is clean up the data and get a handle on security. To this end I have assigned a user from each department as controller of a root folder so the sales folder has someone in sales that is responsible the Finance folder has someone in finance responsible etc.

I have very good backups of this data and now want each of these users to go into their respective folders and delete / archive old data. The question is how do I have them archive the old data. The ideal way would be for the archive data to be moved to an identical path on a separate archive drive.

I will have to give the users permissions to the entire tree they are managing which is ok but I don't want them to simply drag and drop files / folders to a root Archive folder, I really want to keep the structure so the archived documents can be searched later (this will be very infrequently) Are there any programs I can use for this, a file commander type application that is friendly enough for select end users (these are slightly higher skill level users and could have some training)

Any suggestions would be great! This is a 2016 windows AD environment.

Unable to access FTP server using local account created.  Ftp server is 2003 and not using IIS, but OpenSSH.
User seems to have all the permissions needed to access through WinSCP, but I keep getting the access denied message when attempting to connect.
I'm not sure whether or not I did not add this user somewhere with permissions, whereas I am not an avid FTP server administrator.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Experts,

At our business, we use both Adobe Acrobat DC and Adobe Creative Cloud (CC).  Due to the nature of the work, we would like to permit the CC users to continue to save and  share work to the Adobe Cloud.  We would like to block saving and sharing to the Adobe Cloud for the Acrobat DC users because we want them to use MS OneDrive.

We can do this if we purchase the higher priced licensing but we are trying to avoid that.
The firewall is not an option because if off-site users do not log in using the VPN, the firewall rules are bypassed.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

Thank you,

I would like to modify this portion of an FTP script so that it does try to look at the LOCAL folder to compare files with the REMOTE folder - and then try to delete those files on the REMOTE FOLDER.
I simply want the script to download the files found in the REMOTE folder to the LOCAL folder, Delete the files in the Remote folder - but not to delete anything in the LOCAL folder..

I want a local based office documents management system, I don't mind on a local nas server or something like that. We have a lot of sales employees who get a take invoices and receipts. and it just keeps piling up. I think a paperless office is the way office. scan it, shred it, search and use it anytime.

some features I can find online:

1. Approval Workflow

An invoice, a vacation application or another document needs to be approved by one or several people before next steps?

2. Sharing

Share documents, folders, sections or even the whole account to anyone you like. With "View" permissions they can only see the document; with "Edit" they can also edit the meta data.

3. Notifications

Set and get automatic notifications for changes in documents, folders or sections as often as you choose.

4. File versions

You can upload a new version of a document and preserve the existing metadata and all earlier versions of the file

5. Reminders

Whenever you need a notification at a certain date and time, just set up a reminder!


6. Powerful search

We have built in a powerful search so you can search documents not only by the file name but also document's title and metadata,

7.

What is the cheapest most sercure way to share data between 21 remote sites, the cost of linking all sites via VPN’s would be too much for the company.
Thank you for any suggestions in advance.
