| Share a Folder with the Sticky Bit |
|
|
The "sticky bit" is an obscure but handy permissions bit that can apply to files and folders on your Mac. If the sticky bit is set on a folder, a file within that folder can be renamed or deleted only by the owner of the file, the owner of the folder, or an administrator, even if the permissions would ordinarily allow that operation. This is useful when you want multiple users to share a folder but be unable to delete other users' files—just make sure the Shared folder's sticky bit is on.

“I had dealt with The Mac Guys when they were setting up a mac for me as the Web Site Project Manager. As soon as they came in, you could tell right away they knew much more than other IT Consultants in the mac field. I know this because I am very knowledgeable in the mac field as well, and it was a breath of fresh air to have someone that I could explain my concerns with. They were not only thorough with everything they did, but they did it in a trustworthy and reliable manner. And in the Healthcare field, that is a must.” Ryan Green |
