MacBook Pro 2015 (macOS 12.7.6) permissions issue for HTML files on external drive
My Macbook Pro is running 12.7.6 as the last system update available for the 2015 model.
I use Whisk to make html pages for my website. All the html files and assets are all made on this computer and always saved to the same external hard drive.
Today I couldn't alter any html file for one website folder, the following message was shown when any chane was attempted; "You don’t have permission to write to the folder that the file “Life-Impressions.html” is in."
The External Drive, the Folder, and subfolder, the html document all have myself, staff, everyone with Privilege set as Read & Write
This issue also exists for any txt files in the same folder on the same external hard drive.
A different website folder on the same external drive has no issues, I can open the html, alter it and then save Without a permissions issue warning.
I put the html assets and an html file from the external drive into a folder on the desktop without altering the permissions and then the html file has no issues to be altered, except for I need to also put all the images etc. But there are 1 gb of files in the folder and many html files to alter, so I prefer to alter directly from the external drive.
Is there any reason or logic why this situation of one folder having permission issues exists, yet more importantly–how to resolve the issue? It doesn't make sense.
I would welcome any advice. Thank you
