I run windows but web program on *nix. I mapped a few directories with samba but every time I edit them with UltraEdit and save them, it resets the file permissions. I have a script that sets it back but it is annoying to have to edit->save->run script->test (repeat). Is there a way to fix this or is it a bug? Please let me know or fix it. It would make everything a lot easier.
I've been experiencing the same thing, in the exact situation. UE will reset file permissions when I'm editing files via Samba on my Unix server in Windows.
I think this is because it will edit your temporary file (not the file itself), then when you save your changes, it copies the temp file to replace your real file, eliminating your old file permissions and essentially creating a new file.
However, if you turn of UE using a temporary file, then you still cannot execute a perl script (for example) in your web browser, because it is locked by UE and, therefore, busy. I can't find a way to turn off file locking for reading by other applications (the web browser) when it's open for writing in UE.
I am curious, did you ever receive an e-mail back from support, or solve the problem? I'd like to know if you did!
According to the help the option Copy file instead of using rename when creating backup file at Configuration - File Handling - Advanced could be helpful. Don't know if it is really helpful in your situation.
