Anyone know why when I ftp to sumex-aim.stanford.edu and try to get /info-mac/comm/public-folder I get a "Permission Denied" message? Or why this file doesn't have a .hqx or other extension on it? I want to check this thing out, but am stymied. Thanks, Joel Ness INTERNET: jness@ub.d.umn.edu Information Services BITNET: JNESS@UMNDUL University of Minnesota, Duluth

Just out of interest, and for those Claris people who read the ElecNews, are there any plans to create public folder such that you can nest folders inside the Public Folder and one could double click on that folder and subdirect into it? ie if I have the folder Public, and a folder inside of it called Ace, are there plans such that I can go into that nested folder Ace and pull something out of it? As it stands, all that can be done (as far as I know) is that one can transfer the whole folder... Any words? Ace -- | Ace Stewart (Jonathan III) |A /\ | | Affiliation: Eastman Kodak Company.

I'd really like to do another big rev of Public Folder with better subfolder support, private folders, usage logging, drop folder functionality, even automatic virus checking (a "biofilter" if you will), but the reality is that I've got my hand full working on other things. Public Folder isn't exactly a money maker for Claris (though it's goodwill value is substantial) and other work will be coming first for some time. Of course, if Claris got mail (real postal mail sent to say our President Bill Campbell..) that said how much people liked Public Folder and how it's made them want to buy more Claris products :-) who know's what might happen ;-) Claris Corp. | Michael R.

Let me join in the general rouund of thanks to Claris for Public Folder. Question: When I go access a remote Public Folder and select a (sub)folder I can either Fetch it or not. Is there anyway to "open" it up and Fetch only selected files or subfolders within it. Example, I connect to John's public folder and find a directory called Documents. In that folder there is one document I want, and many I don't want. Is there a way to just get that one document?

Hit 'n' now if you like to whine about this newsgroup's volume... When I'm using *my* Public Folder to communicate with *yours* to download stuff from your hard-disk, my copy must obviously ask your copy for all the information on your disk (in that I can't see your disk directly). *Your* PF knows which files are available on your hard disk for access, not *mine*, and will always answer with the ones and only the ones you've made public. Thus by modifying my version of Public Folder, I strongly doubt that I could access all of your hard disk. Now if I modified *your* Public Folder (say, before giving it to you), that would be completely different. I'd modify it to ignore the folder name you'd specified as "public" and instead use the string ":", which --as mentioned here earlier--gives me complete access to your drive. On the other hand, once you imagine circumstances in which you, or gullible User X, accepts systems software from known nefarious disk monkeys like Sinister Hacker Y, you'll soon see that Public Folder is no more potentially hazardous than any other piece of software in your system folder.

I'd greatly appreciate someone sending me more info on how to use public folder than was included in the README file. We are running an AppleShare network and are having trouble figuring out how to use this, especially with the security set-up by the sys. admin. on the appleshare net.
