java zip error

Jacques Carriere — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:17:11 GMT

Good day,

Has anyone ever seen this type of file permissions created by a java zip utility? I need to know how this happened and how I could fix the permissions.

natux23:/sasenv/biserver/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer/Backups/ContentBackup# ll
.ziprwxrwx 1 root sas 1262297 Aug 31 11:38 ContentServerBackup120831

That is seriously wrong on the permissions.

Have you tried just doing a 'chmod' on the file to change the permissions to something else (anything else).

Something like:

chmod 000 ContentServerBackup120831

will completely blank out permissions. You should see the permissions displayed as all '-'s (10 of them to be precise). You could then change the permissions to something more suitable and verify that it displays correctly.

chmod 444 ContentServerBackup120831

There may be non-printable characters in the filename, which may actually explain the the way it is being displayed.

Try this:

# ll -b

The '-b' option will show non-printable characters in octal notation, so you should see some very strange looking output.
