How do I gain permissions to the files on my external hard drive? I backed up my Mac (OSX Snow Leopard) on my Transcend 1tb
and wiped my Mac, and replaced the 'Application Support' Folder with my old one. I had to go and do 'get info' for many of the folders and give my new account permissions to 'read and write'. There are still problems however, for example I am unable to open my old apps, and when I try to torrent files, it I'm unable to collect the magnet link (it says 50% before stopping and saying you do not have permissions). I dragged and dropped the folders from my backup into my library folder. Thank you for reading this!

Share Permission
Shared folder permissions are used to restrict access to a folder or file that is shared over the network. Folder sharing is normally used to grant remote users access to file and folders over the network. Web sharing is used to grant remote users access to files from the Web if Internet Information Services (IIS) is installed.When folders are shared, it is important to keep in mind that you can share folders only, and not files. For users that are locally logged on to a computer, shared folder permissions are irrelevant. Shared folders that are moved are no longer shared. When shared folders are copied, the copy is not shared. The original shared folder however remains shared.A few disadvantages associated with share permissions are listed below:Shared folder permissions do not have as many permission options as NTFS permissions. The only shared folder permissions that can be assigned to users/groups are Read, Change, or Full Control.Share permissions are not inheritable.You cannot back up or audit shared folder permissions.If you move or even rename a shared folder, the shared folder permissions for that particular folder no longer exist.
In Windows Server 2008, access to folders over a network is controlled by both share permissions and NTFS (New Technology File System) permissions. Share permissions dictate access when users connect to the folder over the network, while NTFS permissions govern access to the files and folders on the disk itself. These two sets of permissions operate independently; for a user to access a shared folder, they must have the appropriate permissions from both sets. If either permission set denies access, the user will not be able to access the folder.
It lists the directories (folders) only in a given path, and also lists the file permissions and file sizes for those folders.
by changing the permissions of the parent folder or main folder, this will change the permissions of all subfolders.
When controlling access to data folders or files, permissions to these resources are assigned to individual user accounts or user groups.
Picasa may not be scanning folders properly due to issues with file permissions, corrupted files, or outdated software. Check and adjust folder permissions, repair any corrupted files, and ensure Picasa is up to date to resolve the scanning problem.

NTFS (New Technology File System) permissions are categorized into two main types: basic permissions and advanced permissions. Basic permissions include Read, Write, Read & Execute, List Folder Contents, Modify, and Full Control. Advanced permissions provide more granular control, allowing for specific actions like creating files or folders, deleting subfolders and files, and changing permissions. Overall, there are over a dozen specific permissions when considering both basic and advanced options.
