We have a common folder where we store program files for developers. It is located on a Linux disk drive, but is accessible through Windows as a letter drive (F: to be exact). All files are owned by one person and are assigned to the same group. The owner and group permissions are both set to rwx (read, write, execute). We have developers check files out of Vault into their own personal folder. There is not problem doing that or checking the files back into Vault. Yet when anybody tries to perform a Get Current Version into the common folder, they get the error, "Invalid File or Directory attributes value ", unless the person is the owner. This blocks all other developers from updating the common folder, and only the owner can do so. We use this folder to run the most current versions of the programs.
Other than having each developer maintain their own complete copy of all of the programs, is there a solution to this?
Thank you very much.

Linux Vault Get Current Version

We don't have a solution for the get into a non-working folder on Linux by multiple users. You could have the owner of the working folder do periodic gets to update the common folder. This could be automated by using the Vault Command Line client.
The other alternative is, as you stated, to have each developer Get Latest into their own working folders.
