I am developing an application in cocoa which needs to copy a set of files to the system folder. When copying files to system folder I am getting a “Permission denied ” error message . How can I resolve this problem.
Please any one help me…
Thanks in advance
Mac OS X uses a system of authorization that prevent application to copy files in system locations without warning. That’s why you have to enter your credentials when installing a framework for example.
If you want to perform privileged operations in your application, I suggest you to read the Authorization Services Programming Guide and especially the Scenarios chapter: it will help you to decide how to do the file copy.
