In Terminal.app, use the find command to locate plain files (not directories) and turn off execute permissions:

Anyone can read, write, and execute the file, even if it is a. Select a file, do Get Info (fan-I), and look at the permissions. When transferred to Mac (Unix), everything has permissions that declare the file to be executable, by anyone. Does anyone know of some simpler fix? I know there must be thousands of people who've been frustrated by this issue, but googling didn't help me much.Īlso, file permissions in PC-land are : everything is executable. Is there possibly an Applescript or something that could be used to append file extensions to groups of the files all at once? I know there were Finder scripts that could be used for that task in the past, but at least on my Snow Leopard machine, they don't appear to include those anymore. FYI, the files seem to be a mix of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and saved email messages (.eml, I asume, but haven't tested that). I've tried the Finder's "open with"/"change all" trick, but with any of these files, the "change all" button is grayed-out. I've shown her how she can simply drag-and-drop them to application icons in the Dock to open them, but we'd love to find a way to 'fix' the problem. Someone copied over all her files, and a majority of them have no file extension, and thus are seen in the Finder as "unix executables". I have a client who recently moved to a Mac from a PC. I'm sure some of you have experienced this.
